Atheist.

EDIT: Seeing that *right* above the first line in the lyrics in my sig made me giggle. Thus, inserting these random sentences just to serve as a more efficient divider than the default line above the sig.

Bradley James · 23rd Jul 2010, 06:31 AM

Protestant; damn proud of it

**Eric** · 23rd Jul 2010, 06:37 AM

I was born and raised Roman Catholic but at some point I just completely lost any faith in religion, so I consider myself atheist.

And I get the advantage of having all of my sins absolved when I'm on my death bed just in case I was wrong all this time. It's a win-win situation. =D

23rd Jul 2010, 06:39 AM

Atheist here too.

Pseudojim · 23rd Jul 2010, 07:05 AM

Strong agnostic.

Bevo · 23rd Jul 2010, 07:23 AM

I am very much an atheist, though I would still say I belong to a certain religion, in the sense of identity or culture.

Rikudo · 23rd Jul 2010, 08:16 AM

Hmm I'm not atheist but at the same time I don't really identify with any established religion. However Buddhism has been peaking my interest and I've been looking into it. I just wish there was a temple or something that I could ask questions to.

Austin · 23rd Jul 2010, 08:24 AM

I'm an Atheist mostly. I feel that there is so many things that nobody knows though, and I think spirituality is one of those things. So I could be somewhat agnostic. But mostly atheist.

By Zeus, I'm Olympian. I have my occasional communion with Dionysos when I go a binge night of wine. Plus, these are the cool gods, the ones that turn into things and try to have sex with you. And I hear Apollo swings both ways

Even though I know you're kidding, I still have to correct you. There is no, and never was a religion called Olympian. The Gods of Ancient Greece lived on Mount Olympus, which would make their nationality, so to speak, Olympian. Not their religion. The religion itself of Ancient Greece what just be called.. I really don't know what their religion was called..let's just say they called it "Greek Mythology" even though we know they didn't.

Wicca and Catholicism. I'm a Wiccatholic.

Bang Bang · 23rd Jul 2010, 09:16 AM

I'm an atheist. I just joined the Humanist Association of Canada, so I would say, Humanist.

Yup, I perfectly understand that

I do have a Honours degree in Classics so I know that there is no actual name for that religion, so I just gave it one that I deemed appropriate
