<p>I also go to a Roman Catholic school, so most people here have a religious background.</p>
<p>i go to a catholic school as well … the students still aren’t as religious as most people would think.</p>
<p>^ agreed.

<p>Yeah, I go to Catholic school and I agree. But we’re better than “those evil public school kids” as one of my friend calls them. And, going to a public grade school, I usually defend them.</p>
<p>yea i just started going to catholic school as a freshman. i thought it would be really different, well very strict for the most part. pretty much the same … we just have uniforms.</p>
<p>Religious schools get more flak than they should from the general public. As other posters have said, it’s really just a few minor differences- uniforms, maybe more required service hours, occasionally required religion classes (an opportunity for an easy A, really), and sometimes mandatory mass. It’s easy to zone it all out- and most people do. Sure, most of the people that go there are religious - but really, our time period’s “religious generation” is generally more liberal, and in some cases, borderline agnostic. We don’t talk about God much outside any religion classes. And, in there, you can just say “love love love” and you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>The real defining difference is that the people going there are usually a bit more affluent and higher-scoring- no offense intended to public school students, rich parents are typically more hard lined about academics.</p>
<p>Yep. Cause I’m Mormon and I live in the South…so a lot of people are religious, and a lot aren’t but either way, I’m the only Mormon in my class</p>
<p>My niece goes to a Catholic school because all of the public schools in her small Southern city suck. My sister, her mother, who also grew up there, actually had to be sent away to live with her sister because they couldn’t find any school for her. But my niece is so not Catholic. My father’s entire family is so unfamiliar with Catholicism. Growing up, they didn’t even know there were black Catholics. My mother’s family (on her father’s side) is very, very Catholic.</p>
<p>Anyway, I’m religious but it doesn’t usually come up in school. There are some kids who are very religious and everyone knows, but usually no one really cares. There is this one girl in my school though and people seem to care. She’s very religious, though for a while she wasn’t, so there are lots of pictures of her floating around on FB with no hijab on and she’s always trying to have them deleted. I think most of the reason that people don’t like her is her personality and that she’s sort of really openly anti-Israel, but whatever.</p>
<p>i’m spiritual…mainly cause though i belong to one religion, i follow the morals proposed by several religions…growing up i just believed what made sense regardless of where it comes from.</p>
<p>Religion is simply beast…epic virtual cookies for Zeus adherents like myself especially.</p>
<p>When I went to Catholic school, I was ridiculed for being non-Catholic (but still Christian). </p>
<p>Now at public school, I am a Wiccan, I get a crack every now and then. But, people have grown up and it’s gone from being “OMG, are you like a witch then!!!” as a freshman to now when people find out it’s like “Hey, that’s kind of cool. I’ve heard about that… But is it true that x,y,z are true about Wiccans?” now that I’m a senior. </p>
<p>People grew up and realized that it didn’t matter what your religion was.</p>
<p>I dislike the word religious. I, however, am Christian. :)</p>
