I was raised with religion.. different ones in fact. It depened on who offered bus services for Sunday School where ever we were living at the time so my mom could sleep in on Sunday mornings. I dont have one i follow but I tend to lead more towards spirituality then religion persay. SO Ive raised my girls to be more spiritual and in the mean time they are learning about different religions through myself, Girl Scouts, and various friends and family.

Your parents are ****ed up. That's all there is to it. Especially if the chronology of your 26 years is as accurate as you'd have us believe.

Well, for once I agree with the cult leaders. How the hell do you take a break from a cult? Is that like going on vacation from your religionish beliefs? Either you're lying or your dad shares in your learning disability.

My brothers who got the worst of this cult then me had rebel in different ways towards my parents because of it.I think forcing your child to do certain things well cause them to rebel when they are older because of being force to do these things they don't want to do.
Your profile says you're the oldest of the six children in your family, why did you not suffer the brunt of these effects?

Sadly, I have learned to dechipher all of your spew.
this is odd, doesnt look like relevant research as one of the basics of any suc sociological study is the fact that ur able to isolate independant variable. there are MANY MANY confounding variables here, for instance, the generally better {or often times much better} economic condition of relegious people in america, the lack of the ability to actually test freedom of thought in the tested children{after all a trained lion looks far better than a wild one , well groomed, obedient, non menacing, however that isnt representative of its mental health , just like old british children of prestigious families LOOKED like they were doing better}, also blaming it on family CONFLICT isnt done enough, making the case that its the prevailing ideals of older and ignorant parents that are the problem, not the child{after all u CUD say that the slaves who followed their masters were better off overall as opposed to those who were rebellious, yet ur propogating a completely wrong attitude by making the statement and not blaming the underlying cause, SLAVERY}. also the study only focuses on america, a very wrong and rather persistant approach and psychology and sociology.
overall raising children with relegion is one of the worst crimes one can commit on the child.

Man, its nice to be skeptical about research, but you clearly just read the title of the article and then reacted emotionally, seeing as you say that teaching children religion is one of the worst crimes...
Let me explain to you why this is a valid experiment that cannot be used to draw any cause/effect type relationships: CORELATIONAL DATA.
Honestly, it is nice you guys all want to bash religion when there are some advantages to be found, but like, come on.
The same social stimulus can be provided without the need for religion.
Personally, while I think parents should be free to share their religion, their values and beliefs, with their children; I don't particularly support the dogmatic imposition of specific values and beliefs in children. There's probably a contradiction in that thought somewhere due to my less than spectacular articulation of it.
