I was baptized Methodist, but I was mainly raised First Church of NFL, which is to say that my family, especially my father, was much more concerned with watching football on Sundays than attending services.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I had actually gone to a church-related college, but I went on a football scholarship, not because of any interest in the church.
My Methodist upbringing was very formative in my politics. I was born in 1969, and there was all this ecumenical 'we're in this together' sensitivity that was part of the United Methodist Church in the 1970s.
My dad was a Methodist minister.
I was reared in the conservative atmosphere of a Methodist parsonage.
If you're raised Methodist, Catholicism is a bit of a workout. It's sort of like you're up, you're down, you're up, you're down. It's a continual hokey-pokey.
I was baptized a Baptist, but I'm just Christian, as far as I'm concerned. I could go in any church, doesn't matter if it's Baptist, Protestant, Episcopal, or Catholic.
I was raised Catholic, but my father's people were Methodist, so we went to both churches.
I grew up in the United Methodist Church, and church was always a very big part of my growing up.
I was brought up Methodist, christened as a little baby and went to church every Sunday.
Both my parents are Methodist preachers, I grew up in a church.
