I’m not really sure what my parent’s believed. We never talked about it. I was left to make my own decisions. As a young teenager, I decided I wanted to go to church. I tried faith. After going to church faithfully every Sunday for several months, to which my parents never objected, I decided that religion was not for me. My parent’s never told me I couldn’t go. They even helped me pick out and purchase some Sunday clothes. After going and experiencing it, I decided by my own reasoning that it was… not true. Point being, I think my parent’s did it the right way. They left me to my own devices and trusted that the good sense they’d taught me as a child would lead me to the proper conclusion for me personally whether that be that I became a Christian, atheist, or whatever. I made my decision.
