Were you born into your religion? (Excluding different denominations, ie Baptist-->Catholic)

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Basically, yes. My dad was baptized Presbyterian but was an atheist for all his adult life except his last two years. Mom was a lapsed Catholic. I was baptized UCC out of sheer convenience but still received all religious education from my mother. Converted to Anglicanism during college, and the rest is history.

Yes, I was born identifying as Jewish and thinking this is an important part of my identity while barely actually practicing, and I still do this. Voted yes in the poll.

A more interesting question might be "Were you born into your ideology?" (In fact, even that question would probably need to be separated into "Did you inherit your ideology from your parents?" and "Do you feel like you have on some level always adhered to the values embodied by your ideology?" -- which are separate questions. I feel like -- especially on the Internet but also in real life -- you can tell a never-not-socialist from someone who discovered socialism at some point, and something pretty similar goes for libertarianism and certain kinds of religious practice.
