I chose Christian but religion doesn't really matter for me. I just love and live for Christ. And this is a personal relationship, not a religion.
before i just took atheist stance and never bothered about confronting my sister (cousin) and best friend (not presently but not due to his religious stance) but when u start conversing in that direction they just cant see from left to right. their illogical view, thinking, etc. Which pisses the hell out of me. Well F**k this shit. all of this doesnt matter

first time to participate in forum lol. i think i fall in agnostic. As far as i am concern (in case of our country), the 3 best way to earn money extremely fast is, 1. Drug Lord, 2.Underground Gambling Lord, and 3. Praise the Lord. Lol. Yes seriously,.
Are these friends immigrants, coming from a country where, for example, the muslim belief is the 'big' religion? Cuba? Mexic? What country? Maybe agnostic+deism. Maybe.
I'm a mix of agnostic and buddhism, since Sidaharta Gautama himself never say anything regarding the existence of god.
right gautam never said anything regarding the existence of god and rather than a religion Buddhism is more of a philosophy or a way of life
from the religious country philippines. seriously, religion (tax-free organization )here is in demand that it will even become a family business hahahaha
I'm Catholic, and a reasonably devout one, but also simultaneously not as devout. It's strange and if I had to actually categorize myself according to my principles, I'd probably be some sort of deist. I believe there are things that the Bible and the Catholic religion do that are beneficial for the overall benefit of man. However, there are principles espoused by the same religion that I do not agree with and I choose not to adhere to them. In fact, I am extremely distrustful of institutional authority in general, despite my acceptance of the necessity of such. My morality and ethics have also not come strictly from Catholic dogma or even majorly from its tenets and instead have developed almost entirely of my opinions from studying classical works, talking to people, or just making decisions on my own of who I want to be. I guess the main reason I'm Catholic is because it allows me to have a communal structure within which I can have a spiritual life, while simultaneously constantly questioning myself. I prefer to have some sort of basis by which I can consider my own opinions and actions, so I can properly judge myself by examining the opinions and actions of others. Caveat to my opinion above: I believe that religious institutions as a whole though are beneficial to man (at least from an overall utilitarian perspective) and that religions should serve to provide a common community and bring people together. Extremists do exist, as do extremist sects of religions, as do extremist beliefs espoused by religions as a whole. But so do extremists in all sorts of secular organizations. I'd rather an organization created with the ideal of doing good, than an organization with the ideal of amorality.
I am okay with religion. Just not okay with religious organizations. The relationship between humans and god I can get and understand that to a level. I do not really care about religion and all that jazz but I dislike the organizations that come out of it like the church. edit: my engrish making shit plural w/o reason atm
Raised Hindu. Am an atheist. Hmm, religion cause too much trouble. My life doesn't feel empty without belief. I prefer not allowing a "higher power" to direct me or the believe it does.
