Religion: What it means to you

I'm an atheist who was agnostic but just decided that I don't believe in any higher power. Things just happened.

My dad was raised Catholic, went to Sunday school, though he seems to lean more towards an atheist belief. I do know that he doesn't hold religion in a very high regard. My mom, I think she was raised Christian or something, not a very far distinction in my opinion from Catholism. She disliked going to Sunday school and church. Her beliefs now are more of the Wiccan variety. She's definitely interested in witchcraft and spirituality, though doesn't practice it in any way. She doesn't have a high regard for religion either.

I guess you can say that I do take after my parents. I was Baptised as a baby, but that doesn't mean anything to me. I've been to church a couple of times, but didn't gain anything from it. I've seen religion more as a mind control, originally used to describe how the world works and now use more to show where your soul will go to.

I'm interested in the stories of various religion and their history, but they don't make me believe any different. I feel that it's more of a mind over matter. If you believe something will happen, then it can. I feel there are more to the human mind than we know and that is what causes the world to go round.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
