So, how did you come to your faith?
Did you have a sudden revelation? Were you "saved"? Did you study and come gradually to something that worked for you? Have you stuck with a religion you were assigned at birth?
My mother was a lapsed catholic, my father was a humanist but died when I ws young (5 yo). We weren't religious as a family but my self and my brother went to a strongly CoE school with daily services in School Assembly and termly full church services - only the Jewish kids escaped, atheism was not an acceptable excuse!
This is perfectly applicable to atheists as well. Did you reject a religion you used to buy into? Were you simply raised without it and never found a need?
To be honest I did feel a need for something 'bigger' than me to believe in, possibly as a result of my father's early death or possibly it's an innate need.
My elder brother was a regular in the church youth group (great for pulling chicks!) and I went along for a while, but to be honest I found the whole process intellectually demeaning - most of those involved accepted religion without asking any meaningful questions, and that wasn't me.
At school I got into frequent trouble as a result of questioning the more dogmatic views of our headmaster (who also took RE lessons and a weekly session on social science which was basically an obligatory hour-long right-wing rant).
After leaving school I lost interest, but a few unpleasant things in my personal life again left me feeling very bereft and lost - I guess as a convential response and as a result of talking with some devout friends I took my void to church and asked, with all sincerity for help.
My experience was that there was no response - no release, no support, no change; just - after repeating the experience a few times - a strong feeling of disappointment.
Since then I have concentrated on applying intelligence and rationality to my difficulties and found a comfortable equilibrium in which I can accept and even feel very comfortable without requiring a guiding purpose provided by a third party.
Also, no fair saying "I was born with it". It's very nice if you think that, but it's not a meaningful contribution.
What I'm most interested in is the "born again" moments, that serendipitous realization that you know "the truth". Have you experienced that? What were its implications?
I would say that I have had an 'epiphany' but it was to do with my own realisation that I was capable of managing my life without external direction, and moreover I was happier when the opportunity for others to tell me what I should think and believe was removed.
To be honest it was an immense relief when I realised that I didn't actually NEED to go searching for a meaning any more....
