<p>I don't want a religious debate but I'm just curious what religion people identify themselves as, what religion they were raised with, and any exploring they did. </p>
<p>I am neo-pagan, not any specific religion though. My beliefs mainly resemble those of wicca. I was raised with no real religion but went to a strict Catholic school. I have explored every major world religion in depth. I personally love Buddhism too. </p>
<p>Anybody?</p>
<p>Jew Pride.</p>
<p>I'm religiously apathetic, really.</p>
<p>I'm reading a bit on Mahayana right now. It's very, very interesting and I identify with alot of it.</p>
<p>I studied Buddhism a long time ago. Could you quickly refresh my memory of the differences between Theravada and Mahayana?</p>
<p>I'm technically jewish, but I really don't believe in god. If I have to fill out a questionnaire, i will circle jewish.</p>
<p>My dad is Buddhist and my mom is Christian. I believe in God but identify with no particular religion.</p>
<p>I was raised in a pretty conservative family with conservative/traditional religious beliefs...well, my dad is conservative, at least. My mom is a little less so. My personal beliefs are a bit more unconventional and I don't think that they fall under the umbrella of any particular religion. Personally, I have gone to church services with Baptist friends, Catholic friends, Jewish friends, Methodist friends, Non-denominational friends, etcetera, and I have really enjoyed the experience of getting a glimpse of others' beliefs.
I believe that there is some sort of greater power at work in the universe.</p>
<p>My family is Catholic. I became agnostic this past year. If my dad found out, I'd probably be disowned.</p>
<p>Haha, I like those stories ^.
My father was raised Christian [his whole father's family is Irish Catholics], sort of, although his mother was Jewish. My mother was raised, nothing really, but her mother was a "witch" [not the hocus pocus type stuff] and her dad was Roma (gypsy) and of the Pagan religion. I really got a taste of almost every religion.</p>

<p>I'm Hindu.
at least, according to my parents I am. lol.
idk. we're not an extremely religious family, but my parents believe strongly in it. </p>
<p>I kind of believe that there is a higher power, and karma, etc., but not really in all the stories and traditions associated with religion. I kind of feel that it's stupid when people argue over whose religion is "right," because, essentially, they all advocate similar things.</p>
<p>I think agnostic is the term for it? or am I wrong?</p>
<p>I'm completely atheist.
my family is all non-religious.</p>
<p>and alamode, agnostic would be the term.</p>
<p>Complete deist....God doesn't have to be humanoid, although how does one account for the big bang without giving credit to this unknown entity?</p>
<p>scientology ftw!</p>
<p>jk</p>
<p>Hail the almighty spaghetti monster!</p>
<p>Just kidding.</p>
<p>Fundamental baptist, became christian in August 2006, baptism a week ago :)
I prefer not to associate with any denomination very hardly though. I'm Christian :)</p>
<p>i've been agnostic since age 10.</p>
<p>To alamode, agnosticism is the belief that there is no way to tell whether God exists or not. I don't know what just believing in God without the organized religion part is called. Theism, maybe?</p>
<p>Pastafarian.</p>
<p>Hail FSM.</p>
