How popular are secular households?
#19
RE: How popular are secular households?
When I was a child there was more religious tones but as we reached about 10 things kind of fell apart (for the good). My family came to the conclusion that it was best for my sister and I to come to our own conclusion.

When I reached about 13, I started really investigating a lot of Churches and converted to Mormonism. At around 16 left and studied many more religions, flopping around till about 19 then became a more secular person. Now at age 25, I believe all those years of studying were well worth it! If I didn't question or investigate them then, I would probably be so ignorant and follow whatever came my way or influenced by friends.

So... I would say a secular household! Most friends of mine and from my own observation (anyways) that more and more families are raising there families in secular household but there is still a big religious families out there! It's best to let your children decide what they want to believe. Not only is it more healthy but I believe it grows a stronger family. There will always be a black sheep of the family that strays from the religious family which can cause tension an hurt among the nuclear family.

Once the children come to there own conclusion and its there private beliefs then no one in the family cares (in secular households). There is a few incident's with many cults that try to break up non-believers still out there but for the most part like I said earlier its best for each individual to come to there own conclusion while also presenting all the facts.
