yes i've been baptised into the anglican religion, when i was probably a few months old.

the only way it affects my life is that i can answer on forms, the question for what my 'official' religion is, that i'm anglican.

not a practising christian by any means, so i probably should answer atheist or agnostic. eh.

religious ed at a catholic school turned me wayyyyyyyy off religion.

what year re?

yes i have been baptised in the Catholic church when i was just a little baby,
I would say it affects my everyday life as I belong to the religion i am in and morals and teachings affect most things i do in everyday life.

it also creates a sense of identity for me and issues that are raised around my religion or others are strongley influenced on the morals I have inhereted.

i would also say when Issues (bush fire crisis, 9/11) happen in society I look to pray and the faith of my religion.

hope that helps

My parents got pressured by my mother's ultra-conservative Anglican parents to baptise myself and my sister when we were born. I've resented my grandparents for it ever since, because I saw it as their way of trying to force me into their religion. I'm now an atheist, much to my grandmother's (my grandfather died when I was about 10) disgust and my parents veiled amusement. Whilst my mother refuses to tell me what religion she is (although I suspect agnostic or un-aligned theist) my father recently admitted that he is in fact an atheist like myself.
