103. good question!!! definitely chose mine.
I grew up buddhist/baptist. Never went to temple or church until my sophomore year in HS. My parents thought they were being bad parents for not making me GO to a place of worship. So we went for a year to this local baptist church before that got old for everyone.

Afterwards, we went back to the stripped down morals/value/principal standard in the house. I went to college and got bombarded by the campus christian crusaders my freshman year. I have to thank them because they actually made me think about dogma, blind obedience, and how ugly self righteousness and arrogance can look on people.

They made me explore my religious and spiritual thinking. This may sound odd, but I didn't discover my true spirituality. It discovered me during my darkest hour. I am a universalist with a strong emphasis on eastern philosphy. I am not a fan of organized religion.
