I believe my religious beliefs are quite similar to the trends that Mark Silk described. I was born and baptized Catholic, attended vacation bible school and Sunday school, etc. I still will tell people that I am "Catholic" however I only attend mass twice a year - Christmas and Easter (sometimes referred to as "Chreasters").

My spirituality is far more rooted in my beliefs surrounding nature and my political beliefs. I am an "unchurched" Oregonian. And I find that gardening, hikes, and activities along the lines of "back to the land" are far more spiritually fulfilling for me.
