Not sure how to describe myself for the purpose of dating and beliefs.

[Anonymous]

I was raised in an Evangelical Christian household. If forced to pick a religion I'd say Christian as I am not Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Muslim etc. However I do attend church and have not gone regularly in 20 years, I do not pray, I find most Christian beliefs abhorrent.

However, at the same time, I'm not s open-minded as many my age are. There are just some things I won't go for that I am probably pretty conservative

You’re not a practicing Christian so don’t say that. You sound more like an agnostic or atheist, depending on whether you still believe in divine presence.

You do sound socially conservative though so if there’s a place to indicate that I would do that as that’s a big deal.

Whatever you do, don’t say “spiritual but not religious.”

I consider the current trend of labeling kids or people as transgendered simply because they don't conform to socially created gender stereotypes to be antifeminist and harmful to both sexes.

I have tried that, but it tends to lead people to believe that I am actually more conservative than I am. I also think people worry about my evangelical family or going back to those beliefs as I age.

I'm undecided about that. I don't tell people I am a practicing Christian, but my first name is pretty identifiable as a Christian name, so assumptions are made on that alone.

Are you familiar with the term “ex-vangelical?”

I think it may resonate with you.
