What religion are you?

Post by Destoroyah of Worlds »

Religion and spirituality is a big part of a lot of people's lives. What religion do you affiliate with? Were you ever something else at another point in your life?

I grew up as a Catholic. After i was pulled from Catholic school and my parents got divorced in 4th grade, I grew distant from the church. I was many things throughout my life. Atheist/agnostic and later non-denominational christian. I bought a Bible last year and have been Catholic ever since.

Christian, though I'm not completely devout.

Do you have a church you go to? My Grandma is a general Christian and she doesn't mind what kind of church it is. Baptist, Mormon, Presbyterian.

I have no religion. I do not accept the label "atheist," however, because I do not endorse of the notion that I must be defined relative to other people's theism.

I hate the idea of organized religion, everything I've seen from its followers they're either the most hateful people I've ever seen or they're basically hypocrites. That being said I don't not believe in a higher power I just don't believe in the rules that organized religion does. So that I guess would make me agnostic.

Somewhere between atheist and antitheist for something like the last thirteen years.

I honestly haven’t been to church in years. I just haven’t found the time for it.

Same, though I do like various religious aesthetics. Which more or less boils down to "occult shit looks cool".

People who won't shut up about being atheist are just as annoying to me as the people who won't shut up about being Christian, Muslim, or Jewish.

This thread is going surprisingly well so far.

I’m a Christian, but kind of an unconventional one. I hold beliefs (such as evolution, various other scientific principles that religious leaders refute) that most orthodox Christians would probably frown upon.

Agnostic atheist, more or less. I don't really care if a God/gods exist or not.

I would say Agnosthic antitheist?

I don't 100% deny the existence of a God, I'm simply skeptical of It. And if God does exist, he's definitely not the God of the Abrahamic faiths, or well, of any human religion.
Those gods are human inventions to explain things they couldn't understand at the time, or propaganda to push a certain people's beliefs and ideas for political or social gain (the whole concept of Hell is because of this)

I most definitely identify as a Christian but I refuse to adhere myself to any specific sect or beliefs. There's simply too much politics in religion these days. Jesus would be appalled at the modern state of his religion.

This.

I fail to see why my lack of religion should in and of itself be classified the same way as any other religion.

I'm gonna be honest, I was raised Christian but this crazy religious lady I know has been slowly driving me away over the years cause she prioritizes her "boyfriend" (God) over her own family, I babysat her son so I feel for the kid. I know not every religious person is like that but emotions aren't always logical.

I'm a Kongisist. I grew up on a prehistoric island ruled by a giant ape we called Kong. I KNOW my God exists because I've seen him. He even destroyed my village looking for some blonde actress once.

Christian, in my case (baptist denomination, technically- but as far as I'm concerned, so long as they take the Bible as guide and don't add to or ignore the theology, the differences in denominations mean nothing to me).
