How does the way a religion is introduced to you affect how much you believe it?

I was raised in a simi-christian home. My parents aren't christian but believe in christianity. I felt from an early age that somethings weren't right about it - or didn't sit well with me. I struggled with it believing I would go to hell for disagreeing. But on my own (with Sylvia Brownes help actually - and my husbands openmindedness without a religon for himself) I found my way to a pagan, gnostic, wiccan way of life. There are certain discripancies in Christianity that bothers me to this day. Although I love Jesus and celebrate Christmas and most christian holidays. But that's what I love about being wiccan. It's the freedom to do so. I believe that Jesus was a great teacher like many others. I love learning about different religons though still. I read a lot. I've learned a lot about Christianitys history and I wonder what some christians would think if they learned the same things as I did. I think you should find your own beliefs and what feels right to you. I don't think you should get into anything in this life because of your friends are in it/doing it. Unless of course it feels right to you. Being curious though is a lot different. Great things come from curiousity.
