=== Families === One of the biggest indicators of religiosity in adulthood is the religious atmosphere within families and upbringing, given that religious beliefs and practices are passed on from generation to generation. Depending on the type of religion in the family, it can involve a different familial structure.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2019/12/12/religion-and-living-arrangements-around-the-world/ | title=Religion and Living Arrangements Around the World | date=12 December 2019 }}</ref> For example, practising [[Catholics]] tend to have larger families<ref> {{cite book | last1 = Roberts | first1 = Tom | title = The Emerging Catholic Church: A Community's Search for Itself | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=bl6DAwAAQBAJ | location = Maryknoll, New York | publisher = Orbis Books | date = 2011 | isbn = 9781570759468 | access-date = 8 February 2020 | quote = Greeley's studies debunked the 'myth that at one time the good, pious lay people did not practice family limitation, but had large families and trusted in God.'

Their religious legacy may include induction into organizations and into civic or secular religions. Their religious legacy is among the factors that condition people throughout their lives, although people as individuals have diverse reactions to their legacies. To outsiders who know them, people are identified in part by their religious legacy. For example, people born and raised in Hindu, Jewish, or American families have identities as Hindus, Jews, or Americans, independently of their beliefs or actions. People who do not embrace their religious legacy retain it nonetheless, and are characterized by terms such as lapsed, not observant, or unpatriotic. People who actually separate themselves from their religious legacy are termed apostates or traitors and may be subject to punishment.
