1)Do you have a Religion?
Raised a protestant, currently not adhering to any specific religion.

2)If yes, do you regularly attend church/equivalent?
No

3)Do you think that somebody has to regularly attend church/equivalent to be ?religious??
No

4)Do you think that Religion has a place in teaching children in terms of morality, etc?
Not primarily (at eg. school). No objections if morality is mentioned at church/synagogue/mosque/etc - as long as the main source of education is secular.

5)Should children be educated on a specific religion from a young age? (E.g. prominent religion in that area, religion of family, etc)
Educated as in "taught about all religions": yes.

6)Do you ever watch Religious television?
No.

7)If yes, how often?
Not applicable.

8)Have you ever taken an interest in Theism/Spirituality? (Buddhism, meditation, etc)
Yes

9)Which do you see more often where you live, Religious, or Theistic/Spiritual points of view?
Not much oriental spirituality around here, if that's what you're asking. Mainly atheists, with religious people mostly being either Catholic, or Muslim.

No

Yes PROVIDED the focus is on the ethics themselves and not the fantasies behind them.

No, but in an ideal world a parent would be able to tell their children their beliefs but not force the child to follow them.

No (does watching YouTube clips of fundamentalist Christians and being equal parts in stitches laughing and rooted-to-the-spot petrified count?)

Yes, occasionally I look to Buddhism for advice.

Neither, mostly atheistic viewpoints where I'm from.

All of the same answers from me as well. Religion should be kept away from all children until they have been taught reasoning, rationality and are old enough to make independent decisions.

1)Do you have a Religion?
No

2)If yes, do you regularly attend church/equivalent?
N/A

3)Do you think that somebody has to regularly attend church/equivalent to be 'religious'?
No, Many people attend these places without being a "true believer" and have no desire to leave because of the community, and the support that community provides them, especially in times of need.

4)Do you think that Religion has a place in teaching children in terms of morality, etc?

It can, depending upon the type of religion and the person teaching it. It does not, however, have a place being used to teach morality outside of the family unit or the religious organisation they chose to be part off.

5)Should children be educated on a specific religion from a young age? (E.g. prominent religion in that area, religion of family, etc)

If the parents chose to do so. However, any educational facility they are part of which receives any form of government funding should be required to give fair and balanced education about ALL major religions and at least an understanding of lesser known ones.

6)Do you ever watch Religious television?
No

7)If yes, how often?
N/A

8)Have you ever taken an interest in Theism/Spirituality? (Buddhism, meditation, etc)
Yes, I find all religion and viewpoints on the world fascinating.

9)Which do you see more often where you live, Religious, or Theistic/Spiritual points of view?

A mix of both, Religion being the most abundant, but only just.
