Not religious. Raised catholic. Had too many questions about the basics and rejected it. I like aspects of other religions like reincarnation, but I do not practice anything and do not want to start.

No.
Atheist born and raised. I've never seen anything to make me believe in any gods, and let's be honest, organised religion was developed as a way to control the populace.
Most religious people I meet tend to be highly bigoted.
Yes at first I was Christian cause my family was but I spent a month to question why I believe in God if he is real and how I should strengthen my relationship with jesus
"Or" I don't agree with everything the bible say but I do love God's wise words.

I'm a proud muslim, i dont know how you can't believe there is a god, a god that created the universe, do you honestly believe everything created it self?
religiosity is difficult to pinpoint to what it actually is... not easy to define or to establish
there is the nature and essence of it, like devotion and belief, faith... and then there is the personification of it, which is kindness and being humane to one another
then you have the concept of spirituality but also the social aspect of belonging to a religious group and to abide by certain sets of rules
I very often find myself (especially on this site) being asked if I am religious and I say no, I do not subscribe to any religion in particular, and then they are very quick to say "damn you, you are going to hell you heathen"
but then I also find other people who tell me what religion is about, and what God actually wants from you, you know be genuinely kind to yourself and especially to others, and this is when I realize that I am in fact more of a person that lives as God would want it, and lot less like all those "religious people" who are constantly bashing others like "fuck you, you sinner you will burn in hell" and which they very clearly do out of the hatred they foster inside, and of which I have none

I want to avoid this topic because discussing it is depressing.. how fucking brainwashed and ignorant we all are.
Only perfunctorily as in - I go to Mass every Sunday but it's more out of habit and social obligation than anything else.

Yes, it's just part of my culture and upbringing I guess, brings comfort too
I am religious.
I once had an accident when I could have lost my eye, but thankfully nothing serious happened. I believe it wasn't just luck.
I am not. I tried a few times. Religion just doesn't work for me. I have the Bible and I believe. That's good enough.

Take that back im not religious but very spiritual I undoubtedly believe in GOD but dont practice any religion. Religion is for saps
I am to the extent I have one, but I am infinitely more spiritual than religious.
Yes. I just love God and the Jesus Christ and the Bible with all my heart.

Religion is for people who can’t accept this life is all they have. No you’re not going to some shiny happy place when you die.
I was born and raised a Christian, which is why I have been an atheist since the age of 12.
I know for a fact God exist and I know for a fact his Son is Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior.
How do you define "being religious"?
No, i have no time nor motivation, I barely have time to breathe and I don't want to breathe anymore
Not religious, more agnostic.
