I voted secular, even though my dad is nominally a Catholic, he wouldn't know transubstantiation if it bit him on the leg. We went to church for Christmas and Easter, usually with the cajoling "you can spend at least one day with the Lord!"
Afterwards, nothing was said of the mass, concepts, praying or anything religious at all. The grandparents paid to send me to weekend catechism for a short while. I tuned it out and eventually stopped going. It was boring as hell.
I thought the whole Catholic mass was bizarre - like something from the 1st century. I could have been worshiping Zeus or Apollo. Freaky with the chants, incense, kneeling, bells ringing and what not.
Weird looking back on it. Why bother if you are only going to go twice a year and never even discuss anything religious? Probably dodged a bullet though. Could have been rough if the parents had pushed.
