Born and raised in the Reform Movement of Judaism (which most non-Jews refer to incorrectly as "reformed Judaism" - Judaism didn't re-form. Our perspective of it did. Judaism is still what it is, and has been, for almost 4000 years).
I'm primarily a cultural/ethnic/genetic Jew. Went to Sunday school, learned all the prayers and songs in Hebrew/English, joined the youth group, slept with the other high schoolers in the barn once a month as part of the "senior" youth group activities to create and direct the sabbath services that weekend, etc. I never embraced the religion.
I have no "official" religion. I've studied several religions, even entertained a stint with the Hare Krsnas because their temple smelled so nice (it's where I went to study for mid-terms because my dorm was always too noisy).
Studied Wicca, studied Jehovah Witness, studied a few bonafide cults - all on my own, I never took "religious studies" in school. Probably should have though, it's a fascinating subject. I believe that it doesn't matter what happens when we die. What matters is what we do while we're alive.
