I know there's a lot of religions out there but there's only so much space in here and being the westerner I am, I filled it with mostly Judeo-Christian religions... But there is an other option less

I don't exactly identify. I'm christian with Buddhist and Wiccan influences as well as a good, healthy dollop of 'whatever the fuck I want' along with 'do what makes you happy'. It works good for me.

I don't idenity with any religion at all. I've tried Wicca and Buddhism, was made to go to Sunday School when I was young and roped into teaching it as a teenager... honestly, I just stay out of anything religious because it's not my thing.

I worship the female formmm mmm

Other: Pagan spiritual, but not Wiccan

I am atheist, but was raised Christian. However, atheism is not a religion, or even a philosophy, so Secular Humanist would be a better example of my personal beliefs if that's what you were looking for.

Agnostic Atheist here.
02/01/2012
I'm atheist. Fun fact: I work in a Lutheran Church once a week.

Christan!

Im not a devout Catholic, but follow it

I'm just now finding this area of the forum and this thread. Please forgive me in advance for my probably very lengthy post as I suspect I'll write a lot.
I'm a "Christ-follower". I was raised in a Christian home and attended church twice every Sunday and on Wednesdays too. I graduated from high school and went away to a Christian college where I met my husband and we got married after that first year.
I do believe that the Bible is the Inspired Word of God and I do believe that Jesus Christ really is the Son of God and came to earth to die for our sins. For one thing, there is a lot of historical references that prove that much of what is in the Bible is true.
But I also believe this because of my "experiences" as a "Christian" - how I have seen God work in my life over the years. Time and time again I've seen prayers answered - sometimes yes - sometimes no - and sometimes wait. Later on, looking back, I was able to better understand those answers.
I also believe that as a Christian, I need to be ready to share about God and Christ with others. Does that mean I should push it down their throats? Of course not.
But if I asked you where was the best place to eat in town - you'd give me an answer - right? Well - if someone asks me why I am happy or why I have a sense of peace about life even during the tough times - my answer has to do with my faith and I will share it.
Do I attend church? I haven't in a while but we are switching to a new church and I hope to go more faithfully.
Do I read my Bible every day? I used to and want to get back into the habit.
But I know that my life is not based on a religion - it is based on a relationship and that relationship is not with a church but it is with God and His son Christ.
I hope that as folks have interacted with me on the forum, etc. they've come to see me as someone who would try to follow Christ's teachings. I know at times I've whined about things or gotten frustrated - but I pretty much try to ask myself how He would act on this site if He was here. He wouldn't hold himself aloof - He'd be helpful and try to be a blessing.
That is what I try to be.
If my post was "too much preaching" - I apologize as I didn't write it to offend anyone.
I've enjoyed reading all the various posts and the beliefs, etc. etc. It has been very interesting and I've learned a lot. To be honest with you, I'm 51 and I honestly didn't know much about Muslims or the Muslim religion till we moved to Washington, DC shortly before 9/11. I had no idea they were the second largest religion or whatever the comment was.

Jewish...but randomly observant, and I don't hold to anything that could be called normative Judaism.
02/09/2012
I voted "Other" because I believe in God (in the Christian sense) and it doesn't go much farther beyond that. I don't go to church, I'm not sure how I feel about the Bible, and I basically do my own thing.
02/09/2012
Not really any.
03/02/2012
I found it interesting some people put mormon - maybe they are just looking for couples toys, because it is FORBIDDEN to masturbate, basically. You cannot be a 'member in good standing' if you do!!
03/02/2012
Raised Christian, I guess agnostic is best description now. I take bits of truth I find from many.
03/02/2012
I haven't had any interest or belief in religion since I was about 12, and happily fall into the atheist camp.
The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster does hold some appeal to me though.

I identify as an agnostic pagan.

Wish there was an "All of the Above" option. I believe there is "Truth" in all religions.

Apathetic Agnostic. I don't know, and I don't care.

Born again/Bible believing/NOT in-your-face Christian.
03/07/2012
baptised and had a confirmation at age 13, but those things are mostly just pure tradition in Denmark these days. I'm 100% atheist.
03/08/2012
I don't participate in any organized religion, I just believe in God
03/08/2012
Agnostic because I believe there is some kind of entity but that human kind will continue to construe the existence for its own benefit till the world does end.

I find myself echoing a lot of your sentiments! I'm a christian, believe the main doctrine, but don't really go to church so much anymore. I support LGBT rights and biblical interpretation that is affirming, so I would probably want an open and affirming church at this point, rather than silently disagreeing to sermons about homosexuality, as I did for years. I'm just not up that anymore--I want a church that is as welcoming as Jesus is, you know? there are a couple of these churches in my metro area, just a bit of a drive for me :/
