Strict Roman Catholic, with a twist. Public schools but CCD every week until I was about 15 or 16, Sunday Mass even if we were on a driving trip across the country or in foreign lands. However, nightly prayers only until I was 8 or 9, grace at dinner only at holidays for some reason, and the unwritten/unspoken rule was “adapt the Church’s teachings as minimally as necessary to conform them to your overall world view”.
So while they weren’t explicitly permitted, it was generally understood that we would probably have premarital sex and birth control was necessary to avoid unwanted pregnancy.
Well, we were Catholic, until my parents needed a divorce. Then we were Presbyterian, mainly because my Mother liked gazing for an hour every Sunday at the married preacher, with whom she was having an affair.
I was raised in a Christian Science household. My mother discovered it in college and latched on. She was raised by my grandpa who is atheist and by my grandma who I think considers herself Buddhist at this point. My dad’s parents were indifferent, I think. He told me he used to catch rides with his neighbors to go to church on his own as a kid.
My parents aren’t/weren’t religious when I was brought up, if that’s what Lekatt’s delusion is. They certainly weren’t any kind of “believers in science” - they were fairly distrusting of science (but much in favor of education), as a matter of fact (which wasn’t an uncommon trait of relatively left-wing ex-religious young adults in the early 70s, what with the information age that was going to put all blue-collar workers out of work and the a-bomb that was going to kill everyone).
Anyway, I voted “indifferent”. I was raised pretty much apathgnostic, though there were a few childrens bibles in the house (gift from my grandparents, I assume) and we did “celebrate” Christmas and Easter.
No church with the family. We did say Grace before meals, though. Understood that God existed, but little aside from that. Had no problem with science.
I was Baptized at 25, became more religious, and I still have no issue with science and do not see any conflict between science and my faith.
My folks weren’t particularly religious. I don’t remember them ever attending church. I went through a couple of periods where I was religious but ended up an agnostic.
I put down raised atheist, though my parents never explicitly called themselves atheists. My Dad did very recently. My Mom never would, and might even call herself Christian, but she never prays, reads the Bible, goes to church, and she’s explicitly said that while she thinks Jesus is a moral teacher, she doesn’t believe in the resurrection. I’m pretty sure that she doesn’t believe in god at all.
I had no religious training at all. We’d sometimes go to church around Christmas, but it was only for the music and pagentry. It had no real religious meaning for any of us.
I’m not sure what the difference is between an atheist and indifferent household. I honestly have no idea whether my dad does or doesn’t believe in anything and while I know that my mom vaguely believes in “something”, I only discovered that when I was an adult. There’s no way to tell outright of asking straight up between atheist parents or indifferent parents, and there’s certainly nothing to be “raised into” that differs between them.
I was raised in a Catholic household. Both my parents had attended Catholic school. My mother regrets that she couldn’t afford to send us as well because three out of four of us don’t bother with religion at all, though we do maintain a belief in God.
She thinks I’m an athiest no matter what I tell her about my beliefs so I gave up telling her anything and let her think that I am a Godless child who will rot in aitch-ee-double-toothpicks.
