Quote

I was raised a Roman Catholic and had to go to the eight o'clock Mass every morning and have communion and wear a tie, kind of like a restricted life style. Then in the '60s, we got wild and let it go and started looking in other places to see where God really was, and I came back to the Christian thing.

I say I haven't lost my religion. I've lost my ideology.

I was born a Catholic and now I'm a lapsed Catholic. I'm something but I'm not a believer any more.

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.

I've been a little bit obsessed with religion, without being a religious person, for about a decade.

Growing up in a New Jersey suburb, my Catholic faith was an important part of my young life, shaping the way I approached the world.

I found myself facing a Christian Science Reading Room. My God! It had been eight years. There had never been any renunciation of religion on my part, but like so many people, it was a gradual fading away.

I grew up in a religious community, and like everyone, I went through a period of doubt and later made a conscious choice to embrace the faith of my childhood.
