No getting ugly. Just what you believe and why, did your family have influence on your beliefs ? will/did you push for your children to believe the same or give them the option ? How old were you when you made the choice to stick w/ your religion ? how long have you practiced ? If you're NOT religious what has put you off. etc... (this is for learning, no judgment)

I gave up religion after getting my degree in Biology. My parents and family don't care as they aren't particularly religious themselves.

@Bluedoll Yes, religion, the bible, God, the whole shebang. I don't believe in any of it.

Religion is ritualistic that does not help anyone go to heaven. It is our deeds that are taken into account.

When I was young I was afraid of going to hell. And I thought a lot about it. When I was old enough I read and studied. It soon became clear to me that religion was only superstition from the time when humans knew nothing and their only choices was to invent the supernatural. I've seen nothing to change my opinion.

I remember I used to hear people saying that never discuss religion and politic in public as people have different views and it can get ugly.
