Do you believe in the religion you were brought up in (if you were brought up in a religion)?

No I stay as far away from that shit as possible, you know? I know that the bible says to love everyone, and hate the sin, not the sinner and all that but the church I was raised in was more like, love everyone except those who aren't in this very room, oh and also, white people are superior, homosexuality is the biggest sin and gays can go to hell, oh yeah and women are sinning if they speak in public, and their husbands can beat them if they so choose because god made men to rule over everyone so it's no big deal

In short, my parent's religion was that white straight men are awesome and everyone else can just die off

I obviously don't believe this as a mixed race, bisexual, stubborn woman but they did and it's disgusting

Especially since my dad was partially black..... but he believed that black people are lessers to whites.....

That sounds more a gang than a church. An abuse of religion by wrong people.

Yes, I believe in following the same religion my family has followed for centuries.

Some churches are closer to cults or gangs than religion

i wasn't brought up in a religion. but i sometimes think maybe, just maybe theres a chance that a higher being really does exist. thinking that someone is watching over me is comforting to me.

I’m still trying to figure it all out. My beliefs and stances are much different then what Christians usually believe. My parents are very anti LGBTQ+ , which is something that I don’t want to agree with at all. I love God, and I believe that he is real, and that he keeps me safe, but I don’t agree with the some of the religious practices and viewpoints in the Bible.
