The Religion Thread

I'm Pantheist, but I feel that my views can come from a lot of religions.

My beliefs? My specific beliefs are that...
God and nature are one in the same and that "God" is more-so an internal / somewhat external force than deity.
I believe in reincarnation, but not of which is a reincarnation of a deity (since I don't believe in a deity). I believe reincarnation occurs immediately after one's death.
I believe that reincarnation is not something that occurs entirely on it's own, and that once a soul has reached the point where it is enlightened enough and spiritually developed, it retreats somewhere above the cosmos.
I don't believe in Hell, thus don't believe in a Satan.
I don't believe in evil, so much as I believe in ignorance and human emotions conflicting with logical and better judgement.
Despite being baptized as a Roman Catholic, I don't believe baptism does anything or means anything at all.
I believe it's healthy to have some sort of confession of wrongdoings, but not necessarily towards a deity so much as a self-realization admission. I also believe that doing good deeds is something that should be done, not for fear of being punished after death (since I don't believe in a punishment or judgement), but for a healthy soul.
I don't believe all should be forgiven, though I've yet to forgive someone for what they've done to me.
I believe life lessons are learned through rebirths, and rebirths often give the spirit a state of amnesia, after it leaves the previous body. Though I believe it picks up on lessons that it's learned in a past life immediately. That being said, maturity is something I don't believe to be related to a spirit.
I believe that a soul can separate itself before rebirth and become earthbound, which reinforces my beliefs in paranormal happenings (such as ghosts).
I believe that the soul is the life force of the human.
I believe revering the environment is important, spiritually.

I'm a Christian. I was also raised to believe in God.
 
I am atheist-secular, which means I don't believe in the existence of deities and I prefer the separation of religious ideas from nonreligious.
 
I'm an atheist, and I tend to follow the philosophy of Secular Humanism.

I'm not going to say "I believe in science", because that's just silly. I don't believe in science. Science exists whether or not you believe in it. I accept scientific conclusions as fact, and am open to those conclusions changing in the face of new evidence.

I don't believe in any god because it violates logic and reason. There is no evidence of a god, and taking it on "faith" doesn't cut it. If at some point in the future, evidence of a god shows up, then I'll have to change my position. Until then, nope.
 
we don't really have a name for it so we name it after our ethnicity.
my religion is hmong religion.
& those who are a bit educated about hmong/miao, shaman or shamanism isn't our religion. it's a ritual.

+ animist, i guess you could say is pretty close to shamanism?
 
I'm a Reform Jew.

It's nice because in a way it really connects with science and its more of a symbolic meaning than a literal one, so I can believe in science and religion.

If only more people were like this... not Jews but more willing to see religion in a symbolic view... I think people would be more open then.
 
Animistic apatheist.

That only describes my beliefs, of course. I may be somewhat spiritual but I'm not really religious.
 
I'm an atheist, I do not believe in anything whatsoever because I feel that it is retarded.

I just don't care. 14 years of Catholic education has just reinforced my belief that the notion of God is not worth getting bothered over. I'm not one of those militarist atheists who go around proclaiming the dangers of religion; nor am I a Bible/Torah/Qu'aran/Whatever-basher and trying to convert. Religion (or a lack thereof) plays no part in my life.
 
I consider myself a non-denominational Christian. I say this because I have not found a branch of Christianity that I 100% agree with. I do believe in God, Jesus, and all that. But, I don't believe every word the Bible says. I also respect everybody's right to practice whatever religion they choose.
 
I'm a Christian. Not a good one, as I've stated in every other thread like this. But I believe in God and Jesus Christ, and I follow most of the morals I was taught in my Christian upbringing. Don't like going to church though, because I feel uncomfortable and most people my age pretend to be something they're not, which I don't agree with. I also enjoy mission trips, even though I haven't been on one in a good while. And that's my religious stance in a nutshell.
