What religion are you?

Agnostic. Although I practice a religion for family tradition's sake.

Wait , catholic and christian are 2 different religions ?

I don't really have one but I flirt with animism and Taoism. For the record, they don't flirt back.

Religion is a lie

Atheist

im atheist

You listed very little religions, that is why so many clicked Other.

fuck religion, the world would be a better place without it..

Abrahamic religion is false and a cancer (yes this includes Islam)

My religion is investments, money, and prosperous economic activity. God is wealth.

None, religion and gods are mental chains, products made up by primitive minds, free yourself from it and enjoy life!

I'm a non-theistic Christian from a Catholic background.

Atheist. Religion is a plague!

im an apathiest i honestly dont care how we where created i just think its a waste of time and we need to worry on more important things than if we have a sky daddy or not

I am a Shaivite Hindu.

I think we were the product of creation as i dont see rocks popping in and out of existence. some people will claim the big bang gives us matter. sure nothing explodes into everything , that take real faith to believe. science is religion.

I'm aware that I'm treading on sensitive ground, but if it helps... maybe it signals that the OP-er was interested in what religions people are, and not what religions people aren't. If atheism is an absence of any belief in God, not being included in a survey of this kind would be a natural consequence... There's a very dry, perhaps unsympathetic logic about it, if one thinks on: if you consider yourself as not having a religion, then a survey called 'What religion are you' just wouldn't apply to you. I have met many atheists adamant that their atheism is not be classed as an additional worldview with the status of a religion - I come from a family of them! It is frustrating to feel that one is not being represented, that one's voice is not being heard, I do understand that. But as much as everyone of wants to have their cake and eat it (and not just atheists!), it is not possible to exclude oneself and include oneself at the same time. Either atheism is represented as an option on the same level as the religions, or it isn't. Personally, I would include it, because I think it's more helpful from a sociological perspective to consider 'ideologies' or 'worldviews' rather than religions. For example, there are some atheists who believe more passionately in the philosophy and ideals of Karl Marx than many self-professed Christians do in those of Christ. They believe that once they have gathered enough recruits, they and like-minded folk can use their beliefs and ideals to transform the world - and they actively set about trying to do it! I have seen parodies of them comparing them to Christian street evangelists. Then there are passionate Buddhists who do not believe in any God or spirit beings. There are atheists who self-identify as Humanists and go to a Humanist assembly regularly, as one might go to a church. There are atheists (usually teenagers or people not accustomed to intellectual pursuits who are dazzled by the scientism as much as the science of the New Atheism movement) who quote Dawkins or Hitchens chapter and verse with greater devotion than many God-fearing folk can quote their holy books. They seem to trust these writers to the point that their default position is to believe everything that they write and read little that does not confirm the presuppositions of that movement. I have seen the same in some Christian readers. For example, I talked God with one atheist who was adamant that God was an 'unfalsifiable hypothesis', without knowing what an unfalsifiable hypothesis even was. Then there are atheists who adopt no particular ideology - but there is still one thing that they love, and that they trust above all else, and their behaviour around that thing can sometimes be compared to a devotion or a trust of religious proportions. Many Christians place other objects of devotion above their God, which makes one ask whether they really treat their God as a God at all, and devote themselves to some material thing or human relationship instead, more like an atheist or an agnostic. Basically the more one looks at it from a behavioural perspective, the more the lines become blurry, I think. It seems reasonable to me that when it comes to classifying people, a behavioural perspective (how human beings interact with their ideals and values in general) ought to be of more interest to naturalists, than the theological perspective (the existence or non-existence of a God or gods), anyway.

there are 3 real religions wether u r jewish or Christian or muslim .. And islam is the last religion where god asked both Christians and jewish ppl to follow islam as the one and only religion in the world till the day of judgement

I'm a Christian - converted from atheism/agnosticism when I first heard of then encountered God for myself as a friend and a father. Not even the love I felt in my first long term relationship compared to the love that God makes me feel. Denominationally I'm on a little island in the middle of the Tiber, not really touching either bank - for whom the reference means anything. I don't lose sleep over it any more.

I say though, there's an awful lot of bashing going on. By all means share your conversion story (to whatever you converted to that isn't Christianity); it is good to hear your experiences. But please understand that a person's conception of and relation to God is for many people an identity, on a level with their race or sexuality. I know that for some people there is a lot of pain but there is a difference between criticism and hatred and I'm seeing the two being confounded in this thread... if hatred is unacceptable from some, it is unacceptable from all.

Mirrorist.
We have churches that are just a door that opens to a long corridor and at the end of the corridor is a mirror and above the mirror reads;
"Believe in yourself."

Raised weak Protestant, converted to committed Orthodoxy, then after studying and praying I realised that this god not only cannot respond but is a work of fiction, the compilation of centuries of mythology. Did you know YHWH wasn't even a Canaanite deity? The Israelites borrowed him from outside and attributed qualities to him from their own gods, even giving him a name of one, "El".

The story of the flood is Mesopotamian and appears in various ancient cuneiform texts, including the quite brilliant Epic of Gilgamesh. The background story of Moses, being hidden in a basket in reeds, was stolen (without credit) from Sargon of Akkad, 1,000 years before the events of Moses even supposedly happened (which there is no archaeological evidence for). There is no way the Israelites got lost in the desert for forty years. You can walk from Egypt to Israel in three days. The number forty is actually symbolic of change in Judaic numerology. If the already nomadic Israelites did any soul searching, it was not nearly that long. Certainly not a story to take at face value.

No, I base my beliefs on my own experiences. I am a sceptical animist. I believe in animism but I don't say it is 100% truth I accept it may not be the case but it best reflects my own experiences, it certainly is better than theism handed down and distant, wrapped in stories.

I have nothing against mythology, it's a fascinating subject I love to read about. But let's not pretend these stories are anything but an attempt to explain or justify the unexplainable and unjustifiable.

Agnostic

LUUL Atheist and non-muslims triggered in the comments

I'm not religious at all. I'm spiritual, but that's about it. I don't follow a doctrine, I've read a couple of holy books and I'm respectful to my wife's Christian family. I just don't feel a religion is necessary.

Bad poll. Christianity OR Catholicism? Doesn't make a lot of sense.

I'm guessing other should be listed as atheism then?

Agnostic.

Quran 5:3 - Allah says:

This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.

how can you forget to mention the oldest religion in world....that is Hinduism in the options...although i am an atheist too...

Not too interested sitting in a church for hours on end when I could be doing something else entirely.

The Church of Richard Gere and Hollywood Saints.
