I'd consider myself somewhere between spiritual and maybe kind of pagan, idk

Most of my practice revolves around plants and crystals (no I'm not going to sell you some alternative medicine bullshit, science and spirituality are separate and any mixture doesn't end well) ex catholic so I burrow small aspects from that but tend to avoid it mostly. Been looking into deities lately but haven't integrated any into my primary stuff yet.

Also been doing stuff with a tarot deck lately, that's been fun

Ex Baptist, currently "none".

Grew up in church via parental mandate, did all the church stuff because I was required to, but never really fully bought into it. Didn't go to the local Christian school (thank god, ironically), but that was probably because we couldn't afford it. Eventually moved out, went to college, and never looked back.

Was attending a family event about 8 or 9 years ago, and there was a church service afterward. I grudgingly went, and it just brought back bad memories and it finally clicked why I didn't want to be a part of it (I knew I didn't want to be a part of it, but never could put my finger on exactly why until I'd been out for years and saw things fresh).

ExCatholic as I said. Ya I was brainwashed hard. Education here is christian by default. Even in public schools.
