Mine would fill a book. Neither of my parents went to church but my dad did a lot of hell fire and damnation stuff at home. We kids went because there was nothing else to do.
So. methodist, baptist, assembly of god (which is pentecostal light) pentecostal and southern baptists. Later catholic an jw.
I took the scenic route to becoming atheist

I was raised Roman Catholic which is pretty stupid: confession, communion, stations of the cross, pomp, ceremony, lavish costumes, it was all very theatrical but there are others that are so much worse like the JWs, Mormons, Pentecostals -- some really crazy Xians.

This will sum it up!!

My childhood religion was the worst. I was brainwashed to be a Moron (oops, Mormon).

They all suck ass!

Assembly of God.
As a kid I wondered why God didn’t come pre-assembled.
I didn’t ask, because I had already been beaten enough to know better then to question my family’s religion.

My sisters went to a Methodist church and I tagged along. My parents didnt do church. I dropped out in 8th grade, much to the church elders pleasure and not having to answer my questions. Later, as an adult, and having been to some Southern Baptist services, including a tent revival (a real experience - I went because of a cute girl, at 16), I asked my mother who had been raised as a SB why she never sent us. In her Southern drawl she said, "I didn't want to inflict that upon you all."

In a contest such as this, there are no winners.

jehovah's witness for me, damm fucking cult screwed with my head for years

I was Anglican... So dumb not to realize that if all Religions disagreed then yes their is a huge problem here,but then again that was when I was indoctrinated and poisened. No longer the case for me though.

I was a JW kid as well.
They take the life out of you.

Catholic, but who's counting. A great big "Eh" from me

Recovered Mormon. Idiocracy

I was Southern Baptist and it was pretty bad. There were no speaking in tongues or holding snakes, but a lot of magical thinking and threats of hell if you put toe out of line.

Polish catholic, you folks can figure it out, too f***** up for me. But I still like the kielbasy.

Is this a contest, if yes what is the price?

We mostly went to Conservative Baptist churches; but we also attended Pentecostal churches. Mom would get a bit tired of dry Hellfire and brimstone sermons Sunday after Sunday at the Baptist churches and she liked the more lively Pentecostal churches; but she could only handle them for a limited amount of time due to their speaking in tongues. Dad went wherever mom decided to go.

I was taught hell is real, painful, and eternal

I was taught that most people were going to hell because the did not believe in Jesus, or the right things about him.

I was taught that the purpose of life is to love Jesus/god, to believe the right things about him, and to be willing to suffer and die for him.

I was taught that women were created inferior to men, that men should be the head of the house. ironically, my mom was the spiritual leader of our house and she called the shots most of the time in everything else, too. She always said that no matter how good a woman is at something, there will always be a man, somewhere, who will be better at it.

I was taught that demons are real, and are among us and they sometimes they liked to hide things (like keys) just to mess with our heads and provoke us to anger.

• I was also taught good things by my mother, but this was despite her religion, not because of it. She would have never thrown out, or turned her back on, a child, or other family member, for being gay--even though she saw it as sinful. Any of us children could have married a non-white person and she would have been absolutely fine with it. And, she quit going to churches because the preacher was too misogynistic, racist etc.

JW"s mixed with Baptist and Pentecostalism.

Catholic. Probably done far more damage than JW.

My parents weren't all that religious. My bro and I church hopped growing up and ended up Presbyterian simply because of the wonderful youth group activities.

Christian Scientist

Pain in the ass. They have nothing better to do with their time but knock on doors and pester people and waste their time with fairy tales no one is interested
in.

Yes!!!

Two moronic thoughts equal two moronic thoughts!!!

Not too bad really: the Church of England had a nice sung service, a bit like the Catholic one, with hymns in between. So the serotonin was running.
Sunday school was fun and the people running it decent.

Of course, going back as an adult was quite different, the talk of the virgin Mary and others things quite offended me in my late teens, the impossible standards that women are held to.

But on the whole the sheeple were fine, to me. Their new clergyman is awfully judgmental. But I’ll leave the olds to it, if they think they’re Christian, it’s their life.

So just to be completely honest, I found that growing up in a religious cult like the JW's was very difficult but it did give me the choice of giving up or fighting back and I chose the latter route. We all make our own personal choices and they are not always easy choices.
As I approach my 60's I look back and think that I wasted time agonizing over the agonies that I endured as a JW, getting carried by 4 classmates outside of school ground so they could give me a beating but not get expelled for it is one that is never going to leave me but it galvanized my will and my resolve to be a better person and to reject all religious dogma.
Would the world be a better place without religion? In my opinion it probably would be and for the agnostics and other fence sitters, you are entitled to your opinion too. Still religion has its place and maybe it does some good, otherwise we might just be psychopaths having rape for dinner.
