I'm atheist. However, I've never read any sort of Holy Scripture, so I figure I'm sort of like theTwilight haters who have never read the book. My goal for 2010 is to read as many Scriptures as I can.

Anglican Christian, ruled be a scientific mind, I would like to get back in touch with some Christian teachings but that's not easy to do in my current situation.

I was raised as a Christian, but over the past few years I have come second-guess my faith. I somewhat believe that I have lived before, like that I have a spirit from before my time. I have come to question maybe Hinduism, or some religion that believes in reincarnation. Typically, though, I push religion to the side because the thought of the world or my soul going on forever gives me a headache (literally.)

I call myself an agnostic, but that's not quite true. I have my own set of beliefs about a higher being and life after death, but they're not that of any religion, and I do think that there is no way we can really tell.

I'm Catholic. But I don't follow it extremely closely. There are some things that I don't completely agree with.
I do love my faith though. Very much so.

Atheist- Agnostic.
I believe that there's something-someone higher...
but i dont believe in anything dealing with the bible,
or that higher someone is protecting you and guiding you in anyway..
your life is yours, not made step by step. . .
maybe the bible is a quideline of "perfection"
but i dont believe that theres someone listening to your prays
or making your life something to make you stronger.
you make the choices,
you make the steps,
you learn from what you witness
you learn from what you go through,
you make the outcome,
you deal with the outcome,
you deal with it alone
you come into the world alone,
and you die alone,
no happy endings,
no shining place up above,
no pretty little girl with wings
or a man with a body sculptured perfectly
this is the life you live, and you die
becoming the next piece of dirt. . .
we create a cycle. . . until it comes to an end. . .

I really don't know, I wouldn't fall under any category really I like certain things from certain religions, but I think it's really impossible to know what's right and what's wrong. I might have found my "God" but as I said, I don't think I'll ever know. It really amazes me how people can be so certain and positive that one religion is right, and they don't even question it.

I don't know, I couldn't vote. Growing up my parents didn't really forced anything on me growing up. My dad's muslim and my mum's a jew, I think I'm getting in touch with my jewish self more and more. But I also have an interest in Krishnaism.

I am one of the five mormons on th haha. I believe in everything my church is... I just can't live with myself when I live it right. I like girls and am vaguely transgendered and that really doesn't work with my church... :\

I am muslim and very glad to be one. Many people think that Muslims are terrorists but we are not actually it is a very peaceful religion. I believe in God and prophet Muhammed(pbuh) and all the prophets before him. I believe in the Quran the holy book. And a lot of ppl I know seem to not know this but Islam is actually the continuation of Christianity and judaism, but in the year where GOd had said that prophet Muhammed was a prophet the christians and Jewish didn't accept him even though they knew he was a very honest man and had not once lied. Oh I really do love God and prophet Muhammed and I love you peoples too so I'll pray u guys go to heaven and pray for me too

I'm Christian, ND. I believe that being a Christian is about a relationship with Jesus Christ, not about fitting into a certain church.

Maybe that will help.” Harvey Milk, 1978

Roman Catholic. I was agnostic for a while during my teens and probably atheist in all but name on a few occasions, but I've ended up back at Catholicism and it looks like I'm staying there.

However bleak things seem, however insurmountable the darkness appears, remember that you have worth and nothing can take that away.

100% Catholic. I believe everything the bible and the Pope say, no matter what. My faith has wavered a little bit in the past until I learned how important it is.
I was raised Catholic. Ill pass it on to my kids.
I went to Catholic school, now a Catholic high school. My kids will do the same.
I have no intention of having sex before marriage, and I will never use a condom or abortion. I masturbate a lot, but I'm working to stop it...
My priorities are: God first, (family should be second, but not me... oh well), friends, and sports.
I believe that God is science. he causes everything scientific. After all, he made it.
I believe that someday, everyone will be Catholic!

After lots of thinking and such I changed my vote to Deist.
Mostly because right now it's a combination of that and undecided.
I believe there is a Higher Power somewhere. Like my mother, I also believe that there is one and only one but that different religions see it/her/him differently and worship them in different ways.
I'm fascinated by Wicca but I don't practise it, right now I just like learning about the spiritual properties of crystals/gemstones.
