Hmm. I was raised Presbyterian for awhile because I thought my comment of "that's a pretty church" made us go.

Turns out my mother's father was Presbyterian so she heard that, felt guilty, and we went. The...pastor (?) knew mother was Jewish (reclaimed Jewish long story) and she was bringing us to make her father happy. Nice guy. Sprinkled my mother with holy water. Not a euphemism.

Once her father passed she sat us down and explained we were Jewish and we were now going to synagogue and we had to catch up and have a bat mitzvah post haste.

I was never very religious because all that made it feel very silly to me. I think of my self as culturally American Jewish though. I celebrate the food eating holidays lmfao
