What is your religion and why?

Tweet

Pretty self explanatory. I am curious to see what peoples religions are. I would like to start studying religion and just want to know, what is your religion what is it based on and what you chose to join this religion. please include any personal experiences with your religion as well. I myself am Baptist. I went to may different kinds of churches as a child with my grandparents (all focused on the Christian religion but I would love to hear about some other religions) and finally I began going to a baptist church where I was baptized at 11, but of course this was way too soon. Later after some problems with the church my family stopped going to church altogether. I soon decided to try a church behind our house. I went alone mostly, occasionally dragging some friends or family along. After having gone there for about 2 years I got saved. Before a sermon one Sunday morning I just burst into tears and I did not know why. I cried for what seemed like forever praying the entire time. Since that day my life has changed drastically, it is so much better I am happier and I smile more, I get to talk about God to people like I am talking about a best friend. Yes, there are still hard times and I am far from perfect, I mess up alot and I don't always behave like I should, but God forgives me somehow but only if I mean it. The religion is based on Jesus having came from heaven and dieing on the cross for our sins. We pray to God, but also to Jesus and the Holy Spirit. We follow everything from the King James version of the bible. We are far from being extremists although in more of the city areas you can find some extreme baptists. Now I want to know about your religion, anything from Buddhism to Christianity to atheism. Please post as much as you can think of.
