5. Makes my Jehovah's Witness childhood look sane.

I probably lucked out. My mom's Pacifist Social Justice Warrior Catholic side broke out when I was in the fourth grade and the Witnesses gave her the boot because she couldn't stay out of politics. Then we were Quakers. Quakers are allowed to be political.

Never did participate in the flag salute at school.

My family religion is "not Mormon." Three of my grandparents grew up as "not Mormon" in Wild West Mormon territory. All those outcasts of religiously diverse backgrounds hung out together in high school. My mom's parents were the religiously outcast odd couple baby making sort.

My other grandma was a plain vanilla San Francisco Methodist, but "not Mormon" too. She was okay with Catholic, Jewish, atheist, or most anything else. Just not Mormon.

Other three grandparents were simply crazy, especially in regards to religion.
