    I don't follow a religion... I'm a Christian, meaning I am "a little like Christ" or "a small copy of Christ".

    My relationship is with the Son of God, Jesus Christ. It's a personal, private and everlasting friendship between God and his creation, through the ONLY WAY, God's ONLY son, Jesus. He suffered and died for my sins, and on the third day he rose to victory over this world and it's ruler. Jesus has given anyone who believes in Him, eternal life.

    It's not about a book, or a series of books.
    It's not about a building and going to it every Sunday.
    It's not about jumping and shouting and singing and carrying a Bible under the arm all the time.
    It's not about blaming others for my problems.
    It's not about blaming the Devil for everything I do wrong.
    It's not about doing this or that forcibly and without meaning or true devotion.
    It's not about repeating some silly prayers in public.
    It's not about kneeling towards a stupid rock at a certain time of day.
    It's not about visiting people door to door, bothering my neighbors when they're trying to rest on a weekend.
    It's not about making people think I'm some form of Holy person.
    It's not about thinking I know it all because I read the Bible.
    It's not about not reading other books other THAN the Bible.
    It's not about not listening to Heavy Metal music, or thinking every song that doesn't mention Jesus is Satanic.
    It's not about thinking that now that I've received Jesus in my heart I can do whatever I wish and still get to heaven.
    Religion is SO MANY of the things I've mentioned.. Yet it has NOTHING to do with true Faith.

    It IS about thinking on my own and taking into account science and knowledge, history and eye witness accounts.
    It IS about reflecting on my life and understanding that the complexity of the universe if far too vast for things to have just come together by random chance.
    It IS about knowing that one single strand of DNA has more wisdom embedded than can be summed up in all the books on the planet. This, cannot be random and that there was, IS and always will be a Grand Designer.

    My Faith comes from believing what I've not seen, it comes from the empowerment Jesus gave all that believe in Him.

    It's not about religion.. it's about LIFE.

    I don't follow any religion.

    I don't believe in any god.

    I find the fact that so many people blindly follow the bible, a book that was written by men, as the "word of god", hard to comprehend. How people can just believe some invisible, all-knowing, ever-existent being created everything baffles me. Then, when you ask some of them a question, they quote something from this book instead of thinking for themselves...

    It isn't everyone, but a few of the very religious people I've known can't accept that other people don't believe the same as them. They can't stop trying to "save" me, and others, from a fate that we don't believe in. I don't even bring the topic up! I prefer not to talk about religion at all. I think we are all entitled to our own personal beliefs, and that we should accept that other people have different ones.

    Faith in any religion shouldn't keep you from knowing and respecting the faiths (or lacks of faith) of other people, and it shouldn't influence EVERY conversation you have with them! I hate that I can't have a conversation with some people without them quoting something from the bible, or bringing up god, or whatever. I'm glad your faith gives you strength, but I don't really care what the bible has to say on the subject. If I've asked YOU a question, I want YOUR answer, not a bible quote. If I wanted the bible's answer, I can look it up myself. I do have a copy. If you believe the same as the bible, then fine, but talk to me in your own words! Think about what the bible says, and form it into your own thoughts and tell me about it that way. Don't just quote it like some mindless drone...

    I don't want to bash religion in general, because I do have many people in my life that I love that would consider themselves a believer in certain religions, and not everyone takes it to that far end of religious craziness. I just have a hard time understanding and respecting the choice to take religion as far as some people take it. It shouldn't affect your ability to think for yourself or relate to others.

    I am a spiritualist. Now the first question I usually get when I tell someone this is what is the difference between religion and spirituality? Religion is an organized way to have a relationship with God(s). Most religions tell you what to do and what not to do. Spirituality is about having your own rules about how to have a relationship with God. It is up to people to decide which path suits them. I do believe in God. I also believe in Jesus, Moses, Mohamed, Buddha ect. ect. I take what I want from the religions that I am learning about and leave the rest. I firmly believe that everyone has the right to believe any way that choose too. However I am thrilled when I find someone who is willing to talk with me about different religions with an open mind and w/o getting angry or defensive. I am a work in progress and just like I don't have the same beliefs as a few years ago, I probably won't have the same beliefs in a few years.

    Athiest to the core! I think my mum thinks that I am rebelling against my upbringing (most of my family is Irish Catholic, or at least protestant). She thinks I'm a goth too, but if you all met me, you'd see that I am as far away from that as possible! Anyway, I don't follow a religion because I don't believe in them, simple as that. I also don't want to follow. If I don't agree with every aspect of a religion (i.e. if I find it prejudice, discriminative etc.) why should I follow it to the letter? Why support it if there are things I don't believe in? I don't know if any religion is right, but I prefer to believe in the people, not some God I will never believe in. So hello Jesi!

    (Oh and go ahead you religous people who hate this answer, rate it down. Go ahead! I don't give a damn what you think, It's my belief not yours, and no belief should be judged less than another)

    I'm Buddhist (Zen style). Buddhism isn't really about beliefs, its about resolving the core issues that cause life to have unnecessary suffering and dissatisfaction.

    When my mother died, I became intensely interested in religions and studied all the major ones with great interest. Its all I wanted to talk about for about 2 years, I think I annoyed everyone in my life with the subject.

    At the end of this burst of study, it seemed to me that Buddhism was the clear winner in terms of matching up with my own experience of life.

    It didn't require me to put my brain through strange contortions to accept ideas which were at odds with established modern knowledge, and it dealt effectively with all of the "big questions" I had wondered about since childhood.

    As time has passed and my practice and understanding have deepened, I am increasingly convinced that this was a great choice.

    I am an atheist. I just can't believe that there is a god. I went to several different churches trying to figure this out when I was young and listened to various sermons. While I was listening, I just kept thinking to myself "How do they know what they're saying is true? How do they know that the bible isn't just a story someone made up? Where's the proof?" Nothing I heard could prove this to me. I just can't do blind faith without question. Christianity teaches not to question faith and that always made me wonder why I shouldn't. Why don't they want you to question? Because it's not true? Probably. Having some greater being up in the heavens controlling everything just does'nt make sense to me.

    Science.

    What so greater a religion than the pursuit of knowledge?

    - Then if God is all knowing, and we are made in his image, should it not be the greatest human desire to honor his perfect creation, to become as knowledgeable and wise as he through this image?

    I was born, baptized, raised and confirmed Lutheran. In my last few years of high school I discovered Taoism and realized it rung far truer with my inner Truth than Christianity ever did.

    In college I was introduced to Wicca. Much of what I felt closest to in Taoism I also found in Wicca, like strong personal responsibility as well as a closeness to others I had been craving, that Taoism didn't provide me. I fell upon Wicca with a ravenous hunger for knowledge, something I wish I had had when in school! I was initiated as a High Priest of the God and Goddess a few years later.

    Seeking out more knowledge of the Mysteries and the forces that help shape the universe, I found myself being drawn to Ceremonial Magick. I was initiated into the local Ordo Templi Orientis, which is a contemporary of Alister Crowley and the Golden Dawn. From here I studied Theosophy and Kabbalah. This eventually left me still wanting more than what I could find within the OTO. I withdrew from practicing all religion and sort of just dropped out of searching for my spirituality for a few years.

    I started feeling lost and wandering empty through life, so I began thinking back to what I had always been most drawn to: Taoism. But, after all I had seen and had been a part of in other religions and belief structures, I was still a little lost here too. This, I think naturally, led me to Zen Buddhism. I have felt closest to this way of thinking, more so than to anything else I had been a part of. From my parents religion of Luthranism, to the Wicca that grounded my life while exalting my spirit, to the cerebral and ego-boosting high of Ceremonial Magick, to the logical and rational Taoist philosophy.

    This being said, I still cannot call myself a true Buddhist. While a lot of my personal beliefs coincide with Buddhist thought, I find the that some of them still smack too much like dogmatic teaching. For instance, I do not believe in an afterlife of eternal bliss, or damnation for that matter, nor do I believe that this world is for suffering. I think I align most closely with secular humanism, which I find, for the most part, to be very similar to Buddhism, at least for me.

    I still study religions for the wisdoms and insight they offer and to better understand the many people of the world. I just don't think that any of them lead to my Truth.

    Of course, this could all change in the future... as it has so often in my past!

    I don't have religious beliefs. I have never been able to get beyond things I perceive as contradictions in the religions I have studied. My core values are reason, accountability, love, integrity, passion and truth and I strive to perfect those in my life. My values prohibit having a god upon which I would dump responsibility or look to for salvation from my own actions. I don't know whether there is any life beyond death so I try to live every moment of this life to the fullest. I am atheist by definition but I don't formally align myself with other atheists because that DOES turn it into a religion of sorts. I joyfully celebrate my beloved family and friends on Christmas because I get that week off. I celebrate Thanksgiving as a tribute to those who have gone before me and provided me with the opportunities I started life with.

    Edit to Flynn444: I know that atheism is not a religion. The point I was trying to make (apparently poorly) is that I don't have a need to gather with other atheists for reinforcement of my convictions. This "fellowship" is a common activity in most religions, thus my phrase a "religion OF SORTS".

    I'm a born again Missionary Baptist believer because:

    1. Baptist believe in the whole Bible and accept nothing but the Bible as their guide in matters of Faith and practice.

    2. Baptist believe in one Lord, one Faith and one Baptism.

    3. Baptist believe salvation is wholly of God and that we are saved by Grace not by works.

    4. Christ, the Head of the Church and the only begotten son of God; both accepted and requested Baptism at the hand of John the Baptist.

    5. Baptist promote the rights of the individual. First, we may seek God for ourselves, Second, everyone must repent for himself, Third, everyone must confess for himself. and Fourth, everyone must answer to God for himself.

    6. Baptist accept the Church ordinances ordered by Jesus Christ; Baptism and the Lord's Supper.

    7. Baptist believe that salvation of God is eternal.

    8. Baptist believe in the second coming of Christ, the immortality of the human soul, the resurrection of the body and the final judgement of a just God.

    I can't say I'm atheist, because I have seen too many who almost make a religion out of not believing in any god. But I don't see any of the major religions that screams to me that it holds the same views that I hold. Buddhism or Unitarian Universalism are probably the closest, but still fall short in some areas.

    I guess I would require proof of the veracity of a religion to follow it, and that negates the faith part of the religion. That's why I can't bring myself to support any religion - religion is the ultimate paradox.

    I'm Wiccan. This belief system is what fills my spiritual needs. It fits my views of Deity. Wicca is about SEEKING truth and answers, about revering what is around us and recognizing that the divine permeates everything, about addressing personal weakness, shortcomings, biases, and becoming as balanced, whole, and compassionate person as you can be. It is about learning to care for yourself and others. If I run into evidence that doesn't support my beliefs or refutes them, I simply REVISE them, grow, and move on.

    Wicca borrows heavily from Hindu and Buddhist religious philosophy; however, we blend from many faiths those aspects that work well, and leave the rest. I follow the Egyptian pantheon, but am not an Egyptian reconstructionalist. Wicca works better for me because also allows me to incorporate newer knowledge in a way that is spiritually meaningful while also allowing me to drop certain things that do not work (caste system, flat earth, etc).

    "If you take [a copy of] the Christian Bible and put it out in the wind and the rain, soon the paper on which the words are printed will disintegrate and the words will be gone. Our bible IS the wind and the rain." Herbalist Carol McGrath as told to her by a Native-American woman.

    ***For anyone rating me down because of my beliefs (as has happened to ALL of the answers out here)...I guess you believe your Deity/God failed at sufficiently punishing me for my beliefs, so you have to do it yourself and correct His/Her mistakes. (And, apparently, someone still thinks he/she knows better than I do what my religion is and why.)***

    I'm an atheist. But I like the term "compassionate atheist" seeing as so many people seem to confuse the term "atheist" with the term "nihilist" (when they have nothing to do with each other)

    In a sense I accept that there is some remote possibility that there could be a God or gods of some description, but only in the sense that I accept that anything is a possibility. I mean, maybe there's a god, maybe there's a big blue monkey, maybe there's a small supernatural hooversucking up souls, we don't know do we? Why should there especially be a God any more than anything else?

    In practice it makes more sense to me, seeing as we don't know, to live as if there isn't a God, seeing as I've no reason to suspect that there is one, and even if there was, I'd have no way of comprehending him/her/it/gfkl.

    I do have a strong moral code, and to an extent I consider myself a humanist, because I have a lot of faith in the worth of humanity and the importance of compassion and that we should do everything possible to relieve suffering.

    I guess I like to believe in goodness for its own sake, and not as part of some deal with a creator that paves our way to an afterlife. If you're doing good for the sake of your own soul- how good is that, really?

    So here's a late response (I was off the grid, sorry): I think religion gets a bad rap. The root of the word (Latin "religio") means "to bind together", and the best definition I like is "that which joins the parts with the whole".

    Religion is about wholeness: its about realizing and expressing wholeness in life. None of us is separate from humanity, none of us is separate from the environment, from the ecosystem, from the infinitely interwoven complexity of life and natural process. And if there is a God in the traditional sense, we aren't separate from him/her/it either.

    But there's a problem with humans: we keep getting caught up in believing that we are separate little isolated packages of "self", and that makes us behave in selfish, unhealthy, and destructive ways.

    Religion is about undoing this nuttiness and awakening to our relationship with the whole. Different religions have different ways of talking about this "redemption": the reclamation of the part by the whole. Ultimately, true religion isn't about accepting a lot of superstitions or standing up for a complex set of ideology, its about being yourself in the truest sense -- which is connected to everyone else and everything else.

    I think you can be an atheist and still be religious: if you have an intuition of the interconnectedness of everything, or even just a conceptual understanding of the connections that science discovers, that's a kind of "religio". (Carl Sagan is an example of such a religious atheist. Maybe I'll come up with a live example after closing the browser :-)

    Just don't use it to beat people up with, please.

    Firstly, I would like to thank all of you who have answered and will answer....

    Secondly, as for me...Athiest. Why? Hell, why not? I spent years believing in God but the problem was I had no idea what I actually believed in. That was the worst part about it, no one could actually tell me anything about. Sure they could say, "It is about excepting God into your heart"...What the hell does that mean. So as I actually matured I came to realize that I really didn't have faith. I became very interested in History and started to actually explore religions. I came to the conclusion they were all pretty closely related. They all similar views and they all had the same evidence...none. I am sorry but I am just a person who likes proof. Another thing I hated about religion, more specifically christianity, was the fact that everyone was fake(or at least the majority.) Most of the congregation were just there to secure their spot in the mythical everlasting paradice that is heaven. A man was explained faith to me with an analogy involving a tight rope walker...

    "Once there was a tight rope walker who was going to preform a most dangerous stunt by walking on a thin wire between two of the highest buildings in the city. Everyone was cheering and said they believed in him. The man walked across and was successful. Then the man stated that he was going to do the stunt again but this time he was going to take a wheel barrel with a person in it. Again everyone cheered him on saying he could do it and that they believed in him; however, when he asked for a volunteer no one stepped up."

    In a nut shell this is the majority of, so called, people of "faith." They loved to cheer on their religion but when it comes down to it, none of them have enough faith to take a chance based on faith....Athieism suits me..it is me. Religion and the thought of these mythical super beings which everyone believes in as a security blanket is definately not for me.

    P.S. If I offended anyone it was not my intetion and I apologize.

    I am spiritual first, born Hindu converted to Christianity second.

    It took me 20 yrs to make this informed decision and found out for me the religion is nothing else than having personal relationship with God. Why did I choose Christainity when I as a Hindu believed in Mesiah, Lord Buddha, Prophet Mohd, Gurunanak Sahib, and many others?

    Here is my reasoning:

    Hindu believes it is your Dharma (duty) and Karma (deeds) can save you and bring you salvation. As Hindu I followed all I could do and still lived in pain. I questioned if God is the God is claims to be then why am I suffering? did not find answer to my quest...

    Looked for answers in Islam: which said I was the slave of God and I must hate anyone who does not believe in Allah... could not hate ppl those did not believe in God... coz I still loved them regardless..

    Looked for answers in Buddhism: it said Nirvana is possible by controlling your desires... deny your needs and you will be happy.... could not live without desires...

    Thus came to church:

    Jesus said:

    -Love one another as I loved you
    -I am the God not only of believers, but also of pagans
    -Hate the sin, not the sinner
    -It is not my Karmas or Dharmas that will save me, but His mercy alone (if I have to be judged by my Karmas, than I have fallen short of His expectations)
    -I am Child of God, not His slave (I will sit next to Him, not on His feet in heaven)
    -Love your enemies, pray for them and bless for them, coz it is not my friends, but my enemies those have brought me closer to my relationship with God.
    -Have desires, but in moderation.. live modestly and enjoy life...

    As of now, I cannot pray like Christians do, but I sit in awe in His presence and have a wonderful talk with Him daily... that is the only religion I follow....

    I am a 'born again' Methodist. I can honestly say that because these answers were of our personal beliefs I did not rate any down. But notice that the 'non-believers' rate my answers down all the time and they complain more than anybody about the practice against them. I thank God everyday that He wanted us to be individuals and not robots, otherwise we would all have the same beliefs, feelings, and such. I believe in the Bible, it is the Word of God. Yes, it has been interpreted by man but it is God Breathed. I have faith, and have asked many questions and thankfully never been rebuked about them. I'm sorry for those who have been told not to ask questions, how else can one learn if questions cannot be asked? God Bless all out there, I do love Answerbag.com!! <:))))<><

    I suspect that I'm an atheist, but officially I call myself an agnostic because what do I know?

    I am a Christian. I do not "thump bibles over people's heads," though.

    I am an elephant. Elephants are too intelligent to have religions. We just eat stuff and chill, like all intelligent critters do. We don't worry about lofty, unnecessary ideas. We dig God in the trees, the waterhole, in each other. You get the picture.

    I am really unsure about religion right now, I use to believe in God, because I did not have the greatest life and believed somehting had to protect me when i was little to be still alive, but then now I am at the stage of why, why is the world like this if there is a god? so i am religiously confused right now

    I was raised Methodist, but I don't ascribe to any particular religion now. I don't think I really need anybody's help interpreting my relationship with God. He and I are just fine.

    i have an interest in all religions. right now i am studying the jehoviah's witness. i'm originally catholic turned lutherin. i never thought i'd ever let a j.w. in my house but they are really nice people and they have some good points. my brother once let them into the house while a party was going on and there were naked people running around and people smoking pot and drinking and what have you and they just sat there and talked with my brothers friend for like an hour. it was really funny, i thought. we were in high school then and now we're all in our 30's. so i don't feel bad or anything.

    I practice Zen Buddhism. This choice was the result of years of study and exploration of world religions, talking to many people, and annoying all of my friends and family by turning every conversation to the topic of religion for about 2 years.

    I've gotten over that obsession, fortunately.

    I am both Jewish and atheist. I am Jewish because my mother is Jewish. I am atheist because I do not believe in the existance of a god.
