My sister and I were raised by our grandmother until I was 8, she took us to Sunday school and services at a Lutheran church. Then our mother came back into our lives and it was chaos from there, with drugs being their religion.
After becoming a mother at 18, my children and I started going to non-denominational churches. I taught Sunday school, read the entire Bible, and it was a positive part of our lives, providing support and guidance during a difficult marriage and home life.
At some point, I felt the need to question and prove what I believed, as I'd seen many people just believing what was told to them.
I read about different religions, and saw their value as well. I realized all the people with the variety of religions are following what is right in their heart, right for them, just as I had been. With Christianity, you have to accept Christ as your savior in order to obtain salvation. From there, I questioned how could only my religion be right, and all these other religions be wrong?
From that point I realized I was no longer religious, yet still spiritual, and believe that we're all doing what is right for our lives.
