I was raised with the Bible Belt mentality, and by coming to California, I came out of this dark place and unlearned a lot of things I'd been taught.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I grew up with a very religious background.
I'd been raised Mormon, but there comes a time where you are not following what you've been taught, but discovering for yourself if it's true.
I was taught a lot of Bible at home and had a voracious appetite for reading the Bible.
I had a very moral upbringing, and spiritual in a sort of not very specific way.
When I did Inherit the Wind, I learned about teaching school. I also found out what a fundamentalist was.
I had been raised in the church, but I wasn't a Christian. I had a lot of head knowledge but no heart knowledge.
On becoming more acquainted with the word of the Bible, I began to understand so much more of what I had been taught, and of what I had learned about life and about the people in mine.
I grew up in the Bible Belt and I made my own clothes and dyed my hair purple. Nobody ever knew what to do with me.
I had a lot of very religious influences - Christian religious.
It was only after 20 years of being dunked in the religious culture that I got caught up in 'religion.' I had no exposure to Christianity as a child. I was not raised in a Christian home. I became spiritually hungry in high school.
