26. I turned my back on my Christian religion when I was about 13....
and have never been inclined to go back to it.
I was raised Baptist and Presbyterian - and as a child was really "into" it.

Since then I have read much about spirituality and have practiced Zen Meditation for 3 years....that was 8 years ago.

I also checked out Unitarian services for a year, but that did not inspire me enough to commit.

I fervently believe in a universal power that we are all part of, and the soul that 'survives' beyond our physical deaths.

So I do strongly believe in my personal beliefs - that there is much more here than meets the eye - but not at all in any organized religion. I would never consider pastors, ministers, priests, rabbis or Imans as more "godly" than anyone of us!
