Here's a quick question for anyone who feels like answering
I'll start with a little explanation of why I'm asking it. Basically, I wasn't brought up to believe in any particular religion - both my parents are agnostic and even though the school I went to was supposedly a Christian school, I didn't ever really take part in the religious parts of school. Anyway, just the last year or so I've started thinking more about what I believe in terms of religion/faith/spirituality/whatever you'd like to call it. And I guess I realised I actually believe in a "religion" although I'm not sure exactly what I'd describe it as.
Anyway, my question is basically: has anyone else grown up without any sort of faith, and then when they're older become part of a religion? And if so then how did you deal with that? I don't know who I can talk to about any of this considering that I've just never had any contact with any sort of religion. I feel really strongly as though I need to learn more about this, or actually be part of a religion, instead of just sitting in my room learning about it and thinking about what I believe alone. Only I don't know how a person would do that. I can't even really talk to my friends or my family because none of them have any sort of religion and they'd probably just think I'm going insane or something.
So...yes, if anyone has been in that situation, or just has something random to say about it then please reply because I am oh so confused right now. Thank-you lots
