I really want to change my religion, I am a Roman Catholic I just don't believe in their thoughs and such. I am not sure what I want to be. Does any oen have any past experience? Is it like a legal thing if you want to change religions; like you have to get papers? Any help or comments or info about other religions would be greatly appreiciated!
Spritually, there are no papers, but some religions do require you to go through 'courses' and then be baptised/initiated/etc into their religion, especially if you want to get married to a very orthodox jew, for example, and have to become a jew yourself to do so. Your religion will be on records such as the Census, but I'm pretty sure that, next time it comes around, you can just put your new religion down and the records will be officially changed.
I personally changed from Christian to Wiccan last year, but in the eyes of the law I am still a Christian until I write on the Census that I am otherwise.
Pretty much all religions will require you to be initiated/inducted/baptised/whatever into their religion if you want a funeral or a naming ceremony/christaning/etc in their church/temple/whatever, but not if you just want to visit their place of worship.
And remember that you don't HAVE to be a religion - you could be an athiest. Some random examples of religions you could research are:
Buddhism, Sikhism, Islam, Judaism, Church of England, Wiccanism, Hinduism, Athiest, Zoroastrianism, Rastafarian, Mormon, Baha'i, Shinto, Humanitarianism, Jainism, or Unitarianism. There are loads more so just keep on looking until you find something you're happy with :)
Blessed Be,
