Never christened or baptised, parents thought it would be better to let us decide for ourselves once we were old enough to. I decided  to keep the fuck away from religion in any form.

Episcopalian (baptised and confirmed) whatever the fuck that is, lasted until I could think logically.

All I know is that it had Bishops (not of the bashed kind), baptisms & Confirmation but no confession and is not RC but it has more in common with Presbytarian ideas etc.

My minister described himself and others in the church as agnostics of a sort.

Does that mean if you were locked in a box, wearing a straight jacket and then the box was dropped in to a tank of water then you could get out before you drowned?

I've met a few Lesbatarians. We seemed to have a bit in common.

Baptised something or other, never been bothered to ask as I am now an Antitheist (as opposed to an Atheist).

That's quite a good word to describe someone against religion as opposed to without religion. I've never heard that before but I looked it up and it exists! I lead a sheltered life methinks.

surely "poisoning mind" would be more appropriate?

I thought that meant you could give people laughing gas at the dentist.

My wider family were heavily Methodist including a minister and lay ministers. However, my parents had converted to Mormon, although I wasn't really raised as one. I was the 4th child and I think my dad decided he couldn't afford a religion anymore that requires 10% of your wages.

I became quite involved in Buddhism in my 20's and thought a lot about becoming an order member ( sort of monk without the natty threads). However, that fizzled really when I met the future MrsTheweary. At one point we did go to a Methodist church on a regular basis and the kids were involved in church activities. I enjoyed it without ever seeing myself as a Christian.

I do keep meaning to do something about re-engaging with Buddhism again and the Eric Jr's have some interest. MrsTheweary is of the opinion that it was good for me and practicing meditation again would be good for my mental health.

I do seem to quite enjoy religion although I have never had any actual belief in any kind of all powerful old man sitting on a cloud type of thing.
