The funny thing about being Catholic, and I was raised Catholic, is that you identify with the Church, just as part of your character. Nevermind what you believe, it's just who you are.
I'm a surfer at heart. Both my parents moved to Hawaii in the 1970s, where they met and became Christians. Then they taught me and my two brothers how to love the Lord - and how to surf!
My dad was a Buddhist when I was young, so when I was begging to become a Catholic, he was saying no and imparting Buddhist precepts.
As a young kid, I had a great background. My grandfather was a minister; I have two uncles that were ministers, and so I had that spiritual background. I accepted Christ early as a kid.
I was honestly a Catholic.
I'm a child of God first. Before I became a celebrity, I was baptized a Christian.
I had a very messianic childhood.
I'm a Christian, but I'm just an artist. I'm a musician.
I am charismatic with roots of the Pentecostal.
I think I'm a person who is proud of my [Christian] faith and where I come from.
I'd had a vaguely Jewish upbringing, but no deep connection to faith.
I grew up singing in church as a little boy.
My daddy was a minister, my grandfather was a voodoo priest, my uncle was a mason; I was raised with a lot of studies.
What I was able to bring to the Christian part of it was the humanism and the humanistic point of view. It was the hook in terms of being able to make that adjustment. I wasn't born Buddhist, so I do have some other traditions to pull from.
I'm not religious. I'm a fallen Catholic.
I was raised in a nominal Roman Catholic home, but without any really strong faith there.
We were raised as Christians, and religion plays an important role for us.
I was an altar boy and a choir member.
No one can travel your own road for you; you must travel it for yourself. My faith in this stems from my childhood. I grew up in a family with a system of religious beliefs handed down to me.
We have a priest at Inter Milan and a chapel at the training ground. That is where I was baptised and confirmed into the church.
Scripture has always been a part of my life. My dad was a pastor. My mother was a speaker, writer, and teacher. I memorized Scripture from the time I was little.
I have never hid my spiritual roots. They just weren't something that came under the spotlight.
I was raised Jehovah's Witness. I was in Bible school at five or six years old, but I wouldn't say that we were a religious family.
I think you can't really escape any kind of spiritual education as a child, whether it's New Age or Judaism or Buddhism or whatever it is. You can't escape it, even if you completely disagree with it, you still have it as a foundation that you base things off of.
I grew up singing in a church choir.
