I was born and raised in an Eastern Orthodox Christian family. Became a theistic Satanist in the 1980s - more specifically a Luciferian. It even got me a conscription exemption. Still one to this day.
Born and raised Catholic, drifted towards atheism as I thought that if the tenets of the religion I was brought up in is true, I should be punished for eternity (and then pondered if suicide is a lighter sin than being who I am), and then questioned why that’s necessarily the case.
Later on, I drifted towards agnosticism as I began to question my own beliefs, and more importantly, why I was having those beliefs.
None of that was ever known to a lot of people, though, and I present myself as a non-practicing Catholic.
None
So my parents were Catholic and Atheist respectively. I have great respect for religious beliefs but am an atheist myself.
My town is very multi-cultural and due to the work I do, every year I am privileged to be invited to Hindu, Muslim, Christian and Jewish cultural events.
I can happily say that the main thing that always strikes me is the friendliness of ordinary people from all faiths and walks of life.

I have no religion. I guess I’m an apatheist. Not sure if I can be considered practicing or not.
Edit: I believe the existence of God/Gods is irrelevant.
I consider myself a practicing non-Catholic and a non-practicing Anglican. I haven’t attended an Anglican service since childhood but play music with my wife at her Catholic church, so I have to attend a practice for that every week.
I’m an ordained dudeist priest.
May he abide over your happiness as he does us all.
Raised by hippies who let me be free range a bit. One grandmother took me to Methodist church from age 6-12ish. Jr high friends got me to go to a Baptist church a little (those cats have no chill). Overall atheist though which drew some social ostracization when I let my views be known.
I was pretty hardline about it in my 20s. 30s were more “let everyone do their own thing, man”. Now in my late 40s and I find myself drifting back toward agnostic.
There are unexplained things I’ve encountered. I’m reasonably sure science will catch up (maybe) and explain them. Until then, they remain “energies” that caused unexpected results, probabbly just weird brain glitches, but what if…?
I’ve been athiest since I was a kid. The older I get the less I’m able to ignore religion, and the more anti-thiest I become.
Yup, I’ve seen religion directly cause far too much harm to excuse the small benefit it yields to some people. Especially fucking now.
Raised Catholic, drifting through agnosticism towards atheism.
I’m a non traditional Muslim. Raised as a traditionally (by the book) practicing Muslim. 4 years ago changed course after traumatic events in my life.
Grew up “culturally protestant”. Never strictly religious or anything, but I did participate in many activities organized by my village’s church. Formally left the church 2 years ago, mostly to avoid paying church tax. Today I’d call myself agnostic with a casual interest in Buddhism. Not certain enough to be atheist, not faithful enough to be religious.
none, unless you count the the satanic temple.
no reason to bring fantasy into reality
