I was brought up with somewhat of a southern baptist upbringing. My mother was a baptist and active in the church, as was I as a child, though she was not really very socially conservative. My father believes (when last I checked), but is not so much a supporter of organized religion. My husband falls into this same category. I, on the other hand, am an atheist. My personal philosophies tend more toward secular humanism. I'm all for taking care of one another, just because it's the right thing to do. I think we have an obligation to one another to do so. There are some Buddhist teachings that resonate well with me, but that's because they align with my sense of morals and ethics, not any sort of spiritual motivation.
