QOTW - Getting back to your roots

It seems a lot of us had formal or at least a good deal of exposure to the religion of our parents or guardians growing up.  Do you think it made a difference in who you are today?  We hear quite often that parents want to raise their children with a church in their lives.  What are your thoughts on that?  Does it really mold the child and help them on their journey?


I'm really looking forward to your responses.

Although I was brought up Catholic, I could never get myself to believe virgin births, parting of seas, etc...
I have a pretty scientific mind and, for awhile spirituality was hard for me.
When I started reading into Wicca/Pagan religions, it sounded logical to me. If everything that reproduces needs a masculine and feminine aspect, then, why not religion?
Also, I KNOW that changes in seasons and moon phases affect me so to me the Earth and nature has the biggest effect on me and I deeply respect that
There is more to it, but that is my biggest influence.
Love,
Robbyn
