Do most religious people follow their parent's religion?

Yeah, most people choose the religion that's popular in their society. I was super-christian for a while, but now I'm atheist. My parents said they were christians?

Most certainly. It cannot be any other way. A few change their beliefs as the get older, but the vast majority stick with what they have been taught, and never really consider any other belief. In the same way, children of atheist parents will have little understanding of religion and will in turn be atheists. So which one is right? Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Jew, Buddhist, or those people in the jungle who believe that god looks like a snake, or a tiger? Or are there in fact no gods at all? For me, there are too many gods, which tell me clearly that there AREN'T any!

I do have the same religion as my adoptive parents but I've been up and down and all around the religious and non-religious spectrum. I'm also a different kind of Christian and I know from experience that I've thought a lot more about what I believe and why I believe it.

Typically. It's what they know. They would have to actually take the time to explore other religions to branch out, and I don't think most people do that, they just go with what how they were raised. Out of everyone I know, I think I only know one person who has a religion that differs from their parents' religion--unless you include atheists; I didn't, since atheism isn't a religion.

Yes most of the time. The children are born and raised in whatever religion. Some as they get older change directions and convert to another religion or become an atheist.

Yes... especially catholics. They are indoctrinated young.

I think people from protestant religions such as pentecostal, JW, baptist, LDS are more likely to soul search and find a religion they agree with.

As for me, I'm agnostic bordering on atheist. My father was pentecostal growing up but is now atheist. My mother was JW but I think is agnostic now. So I guess I do have the same beliefs as they do, even if I just reached the same conclusions after moving out.

by way of fact it incredibly is how they have been raised. i've got ordinary a lot of people to alter their non secular attitude while they become previous. I ensue to nonetheless be a area of the religion i improve into baptized into. inspite of the undeniable fact that, I prevented it for around a decade till now i began out stumble on it returned. the version now could be that I even have chosen to return to it. additionally, i do no longer tension faith on my toddlers, however I advance them in accordance to my values (no remember if faith appropriate or no longer), so suffice it to assert they my faith in all probability does have some impact in it. inspite of the undeniable fact that, I take the youngsters to Church while they request to bypass - i do no longer tension them. i'm actual shocked via how often the ask:).

Yes. The turning point to leaving or switching the religion may happen at some point when the person is past childhood. This happened to me as I started to question my faith and compare and contrast religions.

Not in my family. My dad's parents were very conservative Christians, and he's an atheist. Before his parents, they were all Jewish! My mom's parents were not religious, maybe loosely Christian, and she's a Spiritist. My sister's a conservative Christian and I'm just spiritual, not religious. Who knows what my future kids will be! lol

yes because they were raised that way.

luckily I was raised without a religion,

so I just became Atheist.

I'm sure many people, if they weren't raised by religion, would see the credibility in being Atheist and believing Science.
