I grew up in America but my parents were not religious so I never went to church, and we didn’t keep a copy of any religious texts, so most of my Christian/Jewish knowledge unironically just comes from episodes of Veggie Tales, or the Rugrats Chanukah special, or whenever some Nickelodeon show had a Jewish character written in that had a bar mitzva or whatever. Almost all of my religious knowledge comes from cartoons/children’s movies I saw at some kid’s sleepover 20 years ago.

How were you introduced to religion? I never really was, but I wonder what it’s like for people who grew up with religion.

I grew up UU, so we learned the history of different religions, we had their holy books available and were shown to selected prominent parts, and we were introduced to various holy days and rituals of people around the world.
All while being encouraged to find and follow our own truth and path of spirituality, whether that be adopting a tradition, taking inspiration from one, or wholly original.

I never knew UU was a thing that just sounds like common sense kek
I'm glad someone out there is teaching common sense.

The true human church...
The streets...
Can't be avoided...
Leaving an lasting impression...
Sumting to rise too...
Human of clay...
Foolishly can be safely crossed...
For sum...

They are mostly progressive Humanists these days, which kind of sucks, but when I was a child of 80s/90s there were Christian UUs and Muslim UUs and Wiccan UUs and atheist UUs and the whole point was "we just want a place to gather and socialize and focus on our spiritual journey, but not force one way onto everyone."
My family was your standard American basically atheist but steeped in Christianity flavor. I leaned to atheism and satanism as I grew, and in my late 20s adopted a Visishtadvaita Hinduism.
