Just curious about where most people stand on their religion.

For example I am from a Jewish family but consider myself to be agnostic.

I'm from a Catholic family and I'm pagan. :)

Eh... I am awed by the magnificence, and ordered-complexity, of all things in The Universe... and it sometimes strikes me as being the creation of a sentient being...

If so, I do not personally believe that any of the major religions on Earth adequately, and/or accurately, describe such a being.
I ain't scared... I just don't want to mess up my hair.

The universe is far more complex and wonderful than we imagine, more than we can imagine.

So I'm sure it's full of wondrous things, some of which might be godlike.

But if your asking about the validity of the collected stories of some B.C. shepherds wandering in in the MidEast, or if Mohammad, or Joesph Smith were getting religion straight from god.  I have my doubts about that.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...

I was raised Catholic, but was never confirmed.

These days I describe myself as an Agnostic Buddhistic Christo Pagan.

Originally Anglican, with a detour through Zen Buddhism, and now somewhat atheist with a probable destination of Progressive Judaism. 
One thing I have learned is that any attempt to describe God in the language we use to talk about anything else, especially science, will be dismal failure.
We have to have a different approach to describe something beyond our experience. Even saying that God "exists" like any other being or object is nonsensical, because it places limits on the unlimited.  Poetry or non-verbal communications are probably the best way to go when words fail.

Brought up Jewish, but I was never a theist (but don't like the word atheist - so I'm a non-theist :) ). These days I'm a Buddhist, but also believe that the land is awake (I have no idea what that makes me).

I'm Muslim, my family was never really very religious.

I come from a non religious family.  I am a conservative Christian.
