How popular are secular households?
#12
RE: How popular are secular households?
Religious.

We went to church every Sunday, fellowship every Wednesday. Grace every meal. I don't know how I came to be a natural skeptic, maybe it was because I noticed so early on that my mother didn't really question or approach many things with reasoning and rationality, and that was really off putting. My dad is much less religious than my mother, and he was away in the Navy for most of my young childhood, he retired when I was an adolescent and really balanced my mother out. They still are very religious. Although it is funny to see the spread of my siblings. My sister is as fundie as you can get, homeschooling, was on board with quiverfull for a minute, creationist, flirted with anti-vaxxer shit, climate denier, etc. My little brother is a liberal Christian. The earth is old, evolution is a fact, church most weeks but if something else is going on, maybe not.

But I get along well with all of them.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
