Reflection about religion

 

Greetings everyone, I will share with you my personal position on religion.

I grew up in a family that, without being extremely attached to religion, believes in the Catholic religion and have faith in God. For this very reason, I was instilled with "Christian values" from birth. In addition, the figure of God or the belief in this religion was always present in my childhood, since the two schools I attended were openly Catholic, where, for example, prayers were said every day, and I made my "First Communion" at the age of 12. However, today I see the whole issue from a very different point of view than when I was a child. Today I do not consider myself a religious person, and although I keep some of what my parents instilled in me in terms of Catholic belief (probably the minimum), my vision of religion has changed a lot. And while I don't 100% deny the existence of God, for example, I don't firmly believe it either. It can be said that I am going through a moment of reflection and searching for answers to many questions that I myself have raised around this subject, although I have probably harvested more doubts than certainties. What I have been clear for some time now, is the abhorrence I have against the Church as such, for reasons that we all know, although this has not meant my completely negative position against religion or rather against faith. I have simply been in a process of reflection.
