Q: 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!
A: Changing religion isn't so difficult. If you don't go for what the Roman Catholics do, then perhaps there's something else that might suit you. For example, if you'd prefer less intricate services, you might prefer a form of Lutheranism. If you just don't agree with the Church's ideas on women in the church, gay people, etc, you might try an Episcopalian church. Unitarianism are a good choice for people who are just pretty sure that there is a God.
A good book to consider on this issue is My Friends' Beliefs by Riley H. Ward. It discusses a number of religions, including different sects of Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism, among other things.
You dn't need any papers or anything, either - it's just kind of something you do - you just change churches, for instance.
