My father was very outwardly religious.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was brought up in a Christian home in Australia with a father who was very bold about his faith.
I grew up with a very religious background.
My parents were secular. I am an atheist.
My parents were very religious. My mother came from Co Donegal to work in the shirt factory in Derry when she met my father.
I grew up in a somewhat religious family. My dad's family isn't religious at all, but my mom's side of the family is, so I was exposed to church a bit.
My father used to see God in human beings and in his work. Each person has his own way.
When I think of how we show faith, I cannot help but think of the example of my own father. I recall vividly how the spirit of missionary work came into my life. I was about thirteen years of age when my father received a call to go on a mission.
Again, I was influenced by my father, who was very much an atheist and took pride in combating the traditional or orthodox forms of Judaism, which his parents and which my mother's parents were very steeped in.
My father was an agnostic.
My father is an atheist. My mother is Buddhist. They encouraged my siblings and me to take the best part of other religions to make our own belief system.
