"Im goin up yonder"

Id just like to start off by saying that I do believe that there is a god, but that I don't consider myself an extremely religious person. I would like to think of myself as being more spiritual than religious. I know that probably sounds as if I'm sort of undecided, but no I do believe in god through christian faith. Its just that my family says that if you have full faith in god you will worship ritually in an atmosphere closer to him. When saying this they basically why don't you go to church? Honestly I'm at a point in my life where I'm finding myself, and if in this search I find my way back to the church than so be it.


I think that American religion has changed over the years. I think that religion like many other American pillars have been changed due to our diversity as country in whole. Whether it be race, culture, or belief These have all played a major role in the change of religion and the way it is practiced. Our culture plays a big role in religion and how it is practiced . For instance although they share the christian faith, Black, White and Hispanic America practice this faith differently. Through the years culture has been applied making it own faith inside the thought everyone is serving same purpose. For instance the practice of Christan faith in the black church is practiced with much emotion. It is sometimes taught as if it is a struggle and that you have to keep up the good fight. In the Spanish church it is taught and practiced similar with few differences.

There are other things that have also changed religion that are not so appreciated. Such as the molestation of alter in various catholic Church's. I think that has changed the belief of not all but many catholics world wide. I mean just the fact that the priest in the catholic church is so highly thought of provides with enough to come to that conclusion on your own. Ive actually spoken to a man that was once catholic who is now an atheist because of this. His whole argument on his conversion was not based on having been molested because it didn't happen to him, just the thought that the almighty god could allow this was enough for him.


I think that American religion has changed, and that it will continue to do so because like any place that is diverse in its people with equality off all change will forever be inevitable...
