Lutheran upbringing, though my parents had the sense to allow me to decide if I wanted to go to church or not. Theirs had made them, and they learned from that.

I went faithfully for years, then realized that knowing the liturgy by heart meant I wasn't paying attention to it and not thinking about it. That and some church politics led to me leaving the church. Haven't gone regularly since then, and that's before we got married in the early '90s.

Now, I tend to identify myself as Lutheran with Quaker tendencies. I'm comfortable with the Lutheran catechism, but I like that the Quakers encourage followers to explore a variety of belief systems and don't dictate what you should believe.
