I was raised in the environment of an evangelical church where it was a strict adherence to the bible. No drinking, no smoking, modest behaviour, modest dress, ie no ear rings for women, women had to have their heads covered in church and weren't allowed to speak in it, no one got divorced, absolutely no swearing or taking the lords name in vain, no musical instruments for church hymns, Sunday morning and evening church, Wed night bible study, sometimes series of gospel meetings 6 nights a week for months at a time, they preached that anyone who wasn't born again would go to hell, etc etc.

My sister and I dropped out when we were old enough to stand up for ourselves, ie mid teens. The extreme sexism really stands out to me now. My mom still is hardcore. Out of my grandparents combined 8 kids, not a descendent will still be in the church, or religious after my mother is gone. What a shame to live your life that way and then you die after wasting your life, IMHO.
