    I was a faithful Catholic until a few months ago, when I took some classes in it.
    Now I'm teetering between that and Atheism.

    I wish I could go back to being ignorant.

    Agnostic (believes the existence of a god cannot be known). I lean toward atheism, but I definitely don't discount the possibility. Since we can't know, however, I'll take the simple, logical route of ignoring any belief in a god.

    While my family is, by heritage, Jewish, I don't practice, believe in, or participate in any of the Judaistic principles or holidays.

    I would instead classify myself as agnostic, though leaning towards atheistic, like error404.

    oh, don't get me started on religion.

    I'm sure when I'm dead I'll find out...or won't as the case may well be. I think religion is mainly there to give people hope that when they die something happens...rather than an eternal sleep.

    I remember when I was a bit younger, under 10, and was thinking about death as if you were in a comma, it was really scary, similar to the soul eating things in harry potter.

    I'm baptised Catholic, but I practice no religion.

    But I am not agnostic or athiest either.

    I'm Spiritual.

    I 100% accept and acknowledge the existance of some sort of higher power, I also beleive that I am not worthy to know anything about this power. It doesnt have a name, a gender, desire for worship, or preference of practice.

    That little voice in your head telling you something is wrong, the feeling you have when you love someone, the brilliant idea you just got, your desire to help a stranger... Thats it.

    I think no wrong can be done, sure you can upset a person, and sure you should try not to, but if you wrong someone, then someone will do wrong to you, and all involved should learn something from their collective experiences.

    In the end everything works out, and if you ask me, thats proof of some sort of higher power, whatever name you choose to call it.

    I'd call myself agnostic as well. I was born Jewish, went to Jewish school for 12+ years, but every year increased my doubts. Now I don't know what god is or isn't. I just am a "live my life the best I can"-arian.

    I definitely do NOT believe in god. The day I believe in god is the same day I will start believing in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy

    I prefer not to be labeled anything... I believe strictly in science.

    I believe in chrisitanity and that there is a god somewhere.
    I mean if there is a god in the afterlife it could hurt, but I don't think it hurts if you believe in it because i'd rather believe in one when my time comes and being proven wrong when i'm dead.

    baptised a baptist, raised as a methodist.

    current religion: none

    i tend to see religion as an escape from reality or simply a moral beliefs system. some people are so blinded by their faith and/or its hypocrisy its just insane, like those christian scientist folk who don't believe in medicine. they'd let their kids die of a bee sting rather than give them antihistamines. it seems they are so desperate to see the work of god that they'll risk the lives of loved ones to see it.

    i never want to be like that. i have my own set of morals and i don't believe anything unless i've seen it with my own eyes or if it has been proved by some other means. i believe people, not the divine, are in control of their lives. the human mind is an amazing thing and i suspect it has more divine power than most people think. i believe having faith in oneself is all the guidance one needs.

    I too have, in the past, been scared by the mere thought of death, of the lack of life. There is just something about the idea of not existing on this Earth that still confuses and scares me today. I don't know what it is, exactly, and it's probably supposed to be there as a sort of survival instinct, perhaps an incentive not to end your own life. I have no idea of the cause of this feeling, but it is not the idea of the process of death itself that scares me, it is the thought of not existing that does.

    I remember you talking about how you don't like to label yourself Christian due to some people who abuse the name of Christianity or Christ or anything related, but I think at this point it is rather silly and pointless to substitute the phrase "follower of Jesus" for Christian, because indeed, you are a Christian.
