Not introduced to religion

I was not introduced to religion until i attended middle school and met friends that practiced various religions or their families were very involved with a church. Up until then I had not concept of religion, and did not know what it was all about. My parents were raised in religious practicing and believing homes (Catholic and Christian), but chose to change their ways with their procreation family, me. They never talked about religion with me. Some people seem skeptical when they find this out. What about morals and values? why would your parents keep religion from you?
Parents can still teach morals and values with out being involved with religion. My grandparents always forced my parents to go to church and practice their religion even though they did not want to. My parents did not want to force religion upon me the same way. I am thankful for that. Now that i am older, i am free to explore and learn about different religions on my own. I would say i am pretty neutral and do not consider myself as apart of any religion, but i do enjoy learning about different people's ways.
Some people think my parents were wrong for their decision, but i disagree. As an adult I don't have the need or desire to look toward anything for direction but MYSELF. I feel i am a good person, does good deeds for others, is honest, compassionate toward others, and lives with integrity because I want to live this way, not because the bible tells me to. If anything, i think that is more valid and true. I find it funny that i live a more "Christian" life than some people who consider themselves a Christian, just as an example. I grew up in a household without religious structure, and was very fine with it.

thank you for reading and possibly responding.
