USA, Canada / Polish Americans and religion [28]
I'm living in Canada and it seems as if a lot of Polish-Canadians consider themselves to be religious but do not attend church nor do they do anything that would suggest they are religious. It seems to be more because that's how they were raised, although my grandparents in Poland do not go to church either (my grandpa despises the Catholic church) but consider themselves to be religious.
I myself am an atheist but I still follow a lot of the traditions and plan to do so for the rest of my life because of tradition and not religion, and that seems to be the case for a lot of Polish-Canadians I know, although very few would ever say they were atheists.
