Default When do you first remember having a religion?

I remember being taken to church as a child as early as about 4 years old. I know my mother took me long before that, but that's as far back as I can go. This just makes me wonder if most of us here, who do have a religion we live by, were raised with a certain religion or if it was a choice made as an adult? So, when do you first remember having, learning about, or hearing about your religion?

I was taken to church as a child, but really can't say I found my faith until I was an adult. When my father was ill for a long time and then passed away it had a big impact on me. That was really when I realized I'd better be sure I was living my life as I felt I should be.

As far as I’m concern I already had a religion the moment I was born on this world because am baptized when I was born as a Catholic. Since then I’ve been a Catholic.

I was 7 when I first remember going to church with my Grandmother. She came by early one Sunday and picked me up to take me to breakfast. After that she said we were going to church. That was the start of it for me.

That sounds like a very nice memory to have Andy. My grandparents played a part in my religion too. My grandfather has been a preacher for over 60 years so when I think about my Faith I always think about him too. He raised his children to believe in God and his children raised their children to believe the same way.

I remember going to Synagogue with my parents as a very young child, possibly as an infant. My dad was orthodox so my family always followed the ways of our faith. It never occurred to me to every doubt or question Judaism. It is as much a part of me as anything else and I would never change.
