so who believes in what religiosity or morally

Pseudojim · 25th Mar 2011, 06:45 AM

Logic is not a religious belief.

I identify as ignostic, or strong agnostic if pressed to go past the (pointless) assumption that the concept of a god can even be defined in terms of human thought and language.

NickT · 25th Mar 2011, 06:46 AM

"Athiestism?" :P

25th Mar 2011, 06:58 AM

On Richard Dawkins' 1-7 scale (1=I know there is a god, 7=I know there is no god) I would say I am a six. I am almost certain there is no god. Or, as Dawkins puts it, "I am agnostic only to the extent that I am agnostic about fairies at the bottom of the garden."

If it is of any interest to the original poster, I was raised Catholic and held those beliefs until this year.

British Lad · 25th Mar 2011, 06:59 AM

logic was more of a fun thing I put it.

aidan · 25th Mar 2011, 07:05 AM

i believe what can be demonstrated to be evidently true. since god can't be i'm an "atheismist".

Stuie · 25th Mar 2011, 07:07 AM

Just a word of warning, anything to do with religion on this site often gets ugly very quickly. :/

Personally, I'm an atheist though.

MusicIsLife · 25th Mar 2011, 07:13 AM

My beliefs are of the Pagan/Wicca persuasion

Though I prefer calling myself a Witch.

ps i don't want to sound like a jerk but it's "Buddhist" not "Budist"

**lostinthought9** · 25th Mar 2011, 07:44 AM

Christian. Former Catholic, but now I'm just "Non-denominational."

British Lad · 25th Mar 2011, 08:37 AM

Just Like to add this is not a discussion on which is best or mine is the best i just want you to state what you believe thats it.

TheDarkerPoet · 25th Mar 2011, 08:50 AM

Agnostic. I'm more in the process of finding my own religion right now. Former Atheist, and former former Christian Catholic.

Rikudo · 25th Mar 2011, 09:02 AM

Not a believer in any religion however I do like and identify with many Buddhist beliefs.

Zontar · 25th Mar 2011, 09:17 AM

I want to say my "believes" are "Athiestismist", but it's more accurate to say that religion is just not as important to me as other things, so I've just given up on picking one.

TraceElement · 25th Mar 2011, 09:20 AM

I was raised in a United Methodist and a Lutheran (LCMS) church, but now I find myself believing, from my experiences alone, don't like church, and don't really believing that God really exists, but not discrediting that he exists either.

adam88 · 25th Mar 2011, 09:44 AM

Deist verging on universalist.

partietraumatic · 25th Mar 2011, 10:53 AM

I do believe in a creator and deistic type being, but not in organised religion. I think religion as a principle is good, but is often corrupted by those in power to do things/instruct their followers to do things which I'm sure the deity they are purporting to represent would not want.

I suppose thinking about it I'm essentially a deist.

However, I'm preapred to accept that there is no god, if science ever proves that to be the case (tho i do doubt that will ever be the case). But, at this time, to me the existence of a deity seems the most rational explanation for the world/universe I see.

Morphim · 25th Mar 2011, 02:34 PM

I'm technically a Muslim (my father, and hence my family, is Muslim) but I've always questioned the existence of a higher being, though I do remember thinking that it would be interesting if there was a puppet master, God, whose puppets we would all be.
I'm really an agnostic. I don't think there is a higher being, but it is possible.

roborama · 25th Mar 2011, 02:41 PM

im not really religious but i do believe in God. trying to figure out if i believe in anything else so i guess udecided fits best but i guess ill go other

JB1986 · 26th Mar 2011, 12:02 AM

I voted for Logic. I know it's not a religion or anything, but it applies most to me. Honestly, I don't call myself anything. I no longer believe in god in any way, shape, or form. But I also do not call myself an Atheist.

Random Dent · 26th Mar 2011, 12:28 AM

Religion is evil and there is no god.

I choose logic and evolution.
