    Default Which Religion do you follow?

    So, I thought it would be cool to find out what we believe, religion-wise.

    So, which Religion/belief/lack thereof do you have?

    I, am an Agnostic.

    **I am aware we have a poll asking if we believe, but this is about what we may or may not believe.

    Which lack of a religion do I practice? That's difficult to answer.

    Atheism and agnosticism have a large overlap and are often impossible to distinguish. Agnosticism means I have no religious belief because, as in the case of ghosts and other paranormal phenomena, people shouldn't make any definitive statement in the absense of evidence. Atheism means I have no religious belief, period -- the reason for that conclusion may not have been indicated by the speaker. Two people with the same conclusion, one having expressed a particular reason for reaching it, and the other not having expressed that particular reason for reaching it.

    I don't really know which kind of a lack of religion I practice. my various reasons merge together.

    Agnostic atheism.

    Though I chose atheism, I think the Richard Dawkins quote best represents what I'm saying:

    I am an agnostic only to the extent that I am agnostic about fairies at the bottom of the garden.

    I'm pagan but I reckon that religion is something for your mental health (i.e. to keep you from losing your lolly when THE WORLD IS AGAINST YOU). At any rate, I strongly believe that while everyone should have freedom of religion, it and politics should be kept well separate.

    i really dont agree with you on that point.

    i used to believe in god and since i became an atheist i have less troubles to deal with the difficulties of life, mainly beccause you know what you endure is not the fault of some imaginary friend but from exterior factor.

    when i do an error or a good thing, i am fully able to savor them, no god is helping me or are trying to smite me, if i fail its beccause of my incompetence and if i succede its beccause of my answomeness.

    religion is keeping people in a state of infancy, you cant expect adult who believe such fairy tale to actually do rational choice for th future generation.

    I have my reasons. Besides, I have been forcing atheism onto myself for too long, realizing it's not really what I truly believe.

    Atheist. I'm also very sympathetic towards Transhumanism which can be considered a "religion" by some people

    if you tried to force atheism on yourself, you did it all wrong.

    anyway, its just logic man.
    you die, you crap in your pants and your brain die.
    maybe its just too simplistic but that the way it work man.

    the rest can be explained by science: how the world was created, how we became what we are today.


    you dont need fairy tales to explain that.

    if science really point to theism no real scientific evidence so far demonstrate it, otherwise they would teach it in school.

    They teach big bang theory in school.
    And last I checked they didn't teach atheism.
    Also, in some states they teach that evolution is a false theory, so I really wouldn't go by such a ridiculous measure "only what my teacher says is true!"
