Religion?
Just curious... What religion are the rest of you? If it's too personal, and you'd rather I just put up an anonymous survey I will... I'm just curious as to what schools of thought are represented here.
As for myself, I'm a Deist/Rationalist. I believe in A god, not the Christian God, who made the world and all it's scientific rules, but leaves it alone now. For instance... I believe in evolution, but also in the fact that evolution was created by god. |
People around here have few compunctions about answering questions about religion.
Just hope you have a big enough can to re-can the worms. I'm Pagan. |

Atheist and agnostic. I have no belief in magic, but it is not possible to know for sure.

Buddhist if you can call that a religion... Apathetic if not.
There could or could not be a god, but unlike Agnosticism which says you can not know, Apatheticism says I just dont give a flying fuck. I DO know that organized religion is one of the most dangerous, 'evil' forces active in the world right now. |
Buddhism is not a religion... I follow Buddhism closer than anything else. I have no religion.
|
Atheist. Always have been, always will be.
|
Christian. In the old-school sense of the word. Think pre-500 CE.
and try not to think Pat Robertson, Family Research Council, Republican Party, and Televangelists. It ain't the same thing. |
Not sure anymore.
|
Catholic. I have a almost genetic appreciation for Celtic Christianity though and am trying to bridge the gulf without a major psychic blowout.

"Not sure anymore" also best describes me.
I'm a former Catholic who dabbles in atheism/agnosticism. I'm married to an Episcopalian who wants our kids raised in her religion. So I go through the motions out of habit and for marital harmony, but mostly don't believe any of it. Edit: I've come to think that a creator set up the universe a few billion years ago to follow a certain set of rules and that science is trying to figure those rules out. I view much of Christ's teachings as a good idea to follow (golden rule, etc.) but doubt most of the stories in the Bible. |
What Am I
Atheist/Materialist and somewhat of a Positivistic Nihilist. I reject the notion of free will and assert that life is essentially meaningless, but I do think people can create meaning through actions. Self-knowledge and continuous education will help.

Glatt, your edit kinda sums up what I think-ish.
I'm actually raised Catholic, and the rest of my family is still. But I can't believe it. It just doesn't make sense to me... And I know the whole point is it doesn't have to make sense, you just have to have faith... But if you don't have that faith, then what's the point? |
I'm a Christian...in sprit I guess. Probably a hypocrite to most. I have strong moral foundations but lack the gumption to make the right decisions. I believe in God, and have faith...I just don't practice it much these days. My life, or at least my actions have pulled me far away from that...because it's hard to face reality...
