Are you religious?

Guybrush · 10-06-2009, 01:05 AM

With all these discussions about religions I thought it might be interesting to see how many people here consider themselves religious and what religions they follow. Undoubtedly there's a lot of christians here and I'm guessing atheists may be strong in numbers. We'll see.

Wiccanism is included a bit for fun and since it's the biggest of the neopagan religions.
Self-defined is for those who feel they've developed their own spirituality/religion so far that it should not be recognised as any of the other major established religions - although they may have been a starting point.

By the way, if any options are obviously missing, you could post and let me know and I might include it. However, only do so if it's one you wanna vote for but can't find. Also, if you do suggest a new option you'd like to vote for, please wait with voting until after I've included it.

I see self-defined is already gaining a bit which is something I expected. I would be interested if some of those choosing this option would write a bit about what it is they believe - or at least where their beliefs first came from.

Raised Christian. Went to catholic schools. Went to church every Sunday with my mother. Was even an altar boy when i was in primary school (but then again so were 3 others in my class, im starting to wonder if it was actually voluntary!) and i would have claimed this to be my religion until i was 14 years old. I even got confirmed.

I can't really explain it but it was like one day i woke up and realised what a complete load of shit it all really was, told my mother i wasnt going to church anymore and now i believe in nothing.
