Not that I didn't expect this to happen. I was raised orthodox and dad wanted to join the catholic faith too. I joined in just to make him feel happy, he didn't force me to do that. We went every last Sunday to church for some time now, he insists with it. He also bought me a book for the liturgy and insists that I read it in church. He said that he wants me to keep this book as a memory of him, but I can't wait to get rid of it. Today, before the liturgy he told me that God is real, there must be a creator, He has a plan for everyone, if something bad happens it's in His plan, atheists are wrong, humans cannot comprehend Him and blah blah blah. At the very least dad doesn't believe in Hell.
Funny thing, both of my parents told me that I should marry a christian because he would've been raised like me, yet my christian parents have very different beliefs and don't get along very well. They have very different personalities and ways of thinking, even their religious beliefs have differences. Mom practices religion out of comfort, dad seems to be convinced that there is a God. They almost have different religions each. Or maybe they both believe something unintelligible and have different ways to express it.
