P.S. What happened to miracles? Jesus walking on water, moses and the Red Sea? When did all this stop? Why does God not perform modern day miracles.
It depends really, whether you have studied the religion, or whether you follow the bible and churches teachings. Another thing I think is important is not how often you attend church, but whether you have an actual connection with God, a personal relationship. That's what I have, I communicate with God in my own way, and it works for me!

If people could ask about your faith in a more, intelligent way, then maybe it wouldn't be such a big deal. For example: "How do you follow the Catholic faith?" You can't measure how "hard out" you follow it.
