Assalamualaikum (may peace be upon you)

I'm a Muslim. Born, raised and live as a Muslim.

There are many misunderstandings and misconceptions about Islam out there. So, if you have any questions, feel free to ask and I will try to answer to the best of my ability InsyaAllah (God willing).

Agnostic Unitarian Universalist

>> Because Unitarian Universalism has no dogma nor adamant thoughts on a "creator" (which is what I love about it), I feel the need to tack on agnostic to show my personal beliefs in "god(s)." I interpret Unitarian Universalism more as a philosophy.

I am Agnostic I guess...
I believe there is a higher being but am openminded to different ideas.
I think the bible was written purely for hypothetical and moral reasons and shouldn't be taken literally.
I think that if everyone believes what they want to believe and have true faith in then they will have a happy life and will find enlightenment through that. Simple as. :)

Pagan/Wiccan in Spiritual terms.
Apanideaist/Agnostic in Religious terms.

Apanideaism is my own personal philosophy that is very inspired by Universalism and Cosmology.

I'm atheist because I there is no reason to believe there is a god, and it is more logical to assume that no god exists. That's about it.

Catholics, how can you be Catholic and not believe absolutely everything the pope says? If you don't believe everything he says, you are by default not Catholic. Christian, maybe, but not catholic. It seems like you are just claiming the religion you were born with (some even if you might have conflicting views?).

I would just like to comment on how refreshing it is to see "Undecided" as a choice. I usually hit "Agnostic" because I personally cannot see it as a certain fact as of right now.
That said, the idea of faith is very attractive to me. I wish I had faith, but I don't. I believe in a higher authority, I believe in life after death, and I believe that there is something out there.
Besides, look at a picture of thousands of people praying at the same time. I don't think millions of people can all be wrong. I just don't.

Atheist. I knew there was no god since I first heard of the concept. My parents are indiffrent so I was never forced either way; I just knew. I have tried a couple times to believe in a god and it just makes me feel silly. The idea that there is one person that created everything and basically controls our world just dosen't make sense and honestly it makes me uncomfortable. I believe that a person's soul and conciousness are the only guidance they need. But I believe that it is an individual, personal thing. I don't need an omnipototent force telling me the correct way to live my life. It's our own job to figure that out and in that respect the individual atheist has more power in their own hands and I think thats uplifting. As for the idea of afterlife I think that our souls die with our bodies beacuse what our soul is, is the complexities of our mind that make up who we are. Science. I love being an Atheist.

I am a evangelical covenant Christian. I know really long. I do go to a covenant church right now, but I think I am going to switch churches. Lately I am thinking on just being a Christian. No denomination, just pure I love God.

My beliefs are kind of mixed up from a lot of different religions. I like the philosophies of LeVayan Satanism but I also believe in reincarnation. Although I believe in reincarnation I do believe that everyone only has a certain number of 'lives' and once their lives have all been 'used up' then their soul stops living.

I guess you could called me a Satanist-Buddhist type person.

Atheism is the LACK of a belief in God. If you classify yourself as agnostic, you are probably atheist. Let's not have a knee-jerk reaction to the word "atheist."

Re: Your Religious and/or Spiritual Beliefs Version III
 
Friend of God, Christian, whatever you want to classify it as. I don't really like to go in to denominations or anything like that. And no, Festi. Athiesm is the lack of belief in a God, being agnostic is to say you think there might be something out there, you just don't know what. Nowhere near the same thing.

I'm mainly Christian. Nothing wrong with homos and there's no such thing as hell, just a lack of friendship with God.

Forget my other post up there, I've completely found a new path.

Faery Wicca seems the right path for me. I don't believe in the god or goddess like most other wiccans seem to but I do believe in faeries and when the winter and summer solstice are here I'll celebrate the winter and summer faeries who bought the change of seasons around and for the other sabbats I'll celebrate them but not really because of the god and goddess. I don't know if this makes sense but that's how I feel right now. I may decide in the future that this isn't right for me but for right now I'm choosing it since I want some belief in my life.

It's essentially the same for me. My parents were both raised religious, mom catholic dad I don't know what and they both hated it so I've only been to church a few times in my life and I didn't really understand any of it. I asked my mom and she says she's agnostic because no one can know for sure.

I on the other hand have had things happen to me that I can't explain without the existance of God, but I disagree that suicide and being gay are sins so I technically can't be Christian. I've also never read the Bible because I wouldn't understand any of it anyway. When forced to choose one I either say agnostic (even though I'm really not) or Roman catholic (non-practicing)

I was born and raised Catholic, but then I met someone who was...well believed she was a witch. I later realised there was way too much I didn't agree with in Catholicism and moved to Wicca. I have another 2/3 friends who believe the same as me. I love it.
In short, if my family ask, I'm catholic, anyone else who WON'T tell my family, I'm Wiccan.
(Long way for a shortcut, I know)

I am a Unitarian Universalist.

I believe in parts of christian theology, parts of pagan beliefs, I agree with the pilars of buddhist beliefs, and I am very curious about Wicca. I believe in a God most days, while others I fully believe there is no God. I am still searching and thouroughly enjoy the journey to find what it is that I believe.

I was born as a Roman-Catholic, but not really raised so; here there are really nearly no people, certainly young people who believe in something. It's really rare to be practising a religion in Belgium. Except of the immigrant-community, the chassidim-jewish-community and communities like 'the children of god' and 'jehovah's witnesses' and 'scientology'.
But honestly, I believe in Allah as God. I'm not raised a one, but I'm a muslim girl. No many people know it, but I really believe in it.
Here it nearly doesn't exist: it's like something unreal to be Belgian and to become a muslim. Muslims are 'supposed to be' Arabic people.
But I don't think I'm less free because of my religion.

Re: Your Religious and/or Spiritual Beliefs Version III
 
I checked Agnostic, undecided and other. Because personally I think there's a god of some sort, but I admit I have know idea whether or not this is true. So, yeah, mostly when people ask I say agnostic. (Even though a good amount of people don't know what that is either... I find I must explain it a lot)

I picked other. My "belief"- if that's what you can call it- is just a mix of my views on life. It's kind of like a blend of many religions all in one. Though I am interested in entering a religion, I just haven't found the right one yet. I respect other peoples beliefs though, and am very interested in learning about other religions.

I'm technically,and was born to a Jewish family(although we have some people who are christians in the family),I believe in God a lot,and I also believe in what I saw from life,what I've learned and mostly,what I can't help but believe in.
(Karma,etc.etc.)

We're only seven people hereXD~~That are JewishXD~~
Nice:)

I don't like any god. anyone that would make a world like this, or set the world in this motion, is not anyone worth my praise.

but that doesn't mean there is no god.

And guys, I don't think your allowed to bend a religion to what you want. That destroys the religion you say you follow.

I'm a christian.... Non-denomonational. I really like non denominational churches; they aren't as strict about their beliefs and aren't as organized. They get the message of the gospel across.
