Daisy - I don't know why I want to know. There have been threads here about how much you know about your T's life and what you know of their political beliefs. We don't talk politics much, but i'm pretty sure I know where she falls on that spectrum. I also know tons more about her personal life than is typical. Maybe this is just one more piece of the puzzle. And I'm really not as curious about her personal beliefs as I am just religious practices.
I live in an area of the world where people just don't talk much about religious beliefs or practices, and really the only people I know who talk openly about going to services are catholics, because they tend to go pretty regularly, and jews, because they tend to be pretty observant around the holidays. I had an internist once who told me that she intended to pray alot during a planned sabatical. I was really taken aback by her comment, not maybe because she was a person who prayed, as maybe because she was talking so openly about it.
Frankly, I can imagine few things that would be less comfortable to me than having a T who wanted or was willing to pray with me.

PS: I guess I also have to admit that I've wondered if she thought my husband and I were being very neglectful for doing so little to introduce religion into our own children's lives.
