What religion do you follow if any?

Question

I am genuinely curious what others feel resonates most with them. I am also curious if we have more agnostic/atheists then those who do follow a religion.

There are too many to add a poll, nor would i want to miss any, so I will just read the comments and see who the "winner" is.

So what do you believe in?

Former Christian turned Deist about 10 years ago. Why did I quit Christianity? Two very simple reasons:

1) "God is not a man, nor the Son of Man." Numbers 23:19.

2) There are no true christians. They claim to believe in God, but violate all of Jesus and Moses' commandments every day of their lives anyway.

There is no correct "religion" as people too-often use the term. IN the Bible, the word "Religion" is specifically defined as "giving to widows, orphans, and the maimed," in James' epistle.

It is NOT about "church" and things done at church. IN fact, in Isaiah's book, God said he HATED solemn assemblies and that he was not going to do anything but hide his eyes from you if you lift your hands allegedly trying to worship him. He said again there, in Isaiah chapter 1, that if you wanted to be right with God you need to do good to widows and orphans. Neither Christians nor Jews obey their own prophet.

The average American does not give one cent to Widows and Orphans, but they do give 10% of their paycheck to fake pastors who are millionaires and even billionaires, and yet I only know of ONE church-run home for Widows and Orphans in the entire State of Louisiana, and it's not run by the richest church in town, it's actually run by one of the poorest churches in town.

My beliefs are fairly eclectic and don’t really align with any one, singular belief system above all others. I believe in a great, unseen energy that flows at all times throughout the universe, I believe humanity and everything on earth is a part of that energy. That energy is the same feeling that encourages us to love and be kind to one another despite hierarchal differences. I also believe this energy can be manipulated and changed to bring new things and experiences or even just necessary things into your life. I believe through this energy we are all connected at every stage of existence, including before and after death. This honestly aligns with quite a few religious ideas: christianity, buddhism, witchcraft, etc.

Lliam · Answer

I would describe my spiritual beliefs as a form of animism. I think animals, plants, inanimate objects, natural phenomena, and the universe itself possess a spiritual essence, soul, or consciousness.
Humans and other creatures are the universe observing itself.
I think the universe and everything in it is one infinite, constantly evolving organism, with no beginning or end.
I don't believe in a separate entity called God that controls it all or thinks humans are special.

Animism often focuses on the relationship between humans and the surrounding environment, viewing all things as interconnected.

The term is derived from the Latin anima, meaning "soul" or "life force".

It is often found in indigenous and traditional cultures, emphasizing reverence for the natural world and, at times, ancestral spirits.

It's obvious that animals have emotions but I think plants and even water are influenced by emotional stimulus, so I convey love, appreciation and gratitude to all things, sometimes verbally or with touch.

If you look at all the men or women that are ahead of a religious group church, what have you and you see how much money they have and how they live? And who they are, who they become to me, I can't believe in a person like that. It just keeps taking because they think they're worth it. Somehow , religion has become a business , and that's just not for me But I do have faith, 100% I do, and I am very, very spiritual
 And I believe in gods energy frequency, my energy, your energy, your frequency, and when you understand that, and you become one with that person that's love, and that's the true meaning of Spiritual ality and God.
He goes deeper than that. You know what I mean

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

I’m not religious, per se. I recognize the order in the universe lends credence to the notion of intelligent design and i’m perfectly comfortable accepting even outlandish theories on faith unless and until better reasoned theories supplant them. In my experience and observations, too many people with no theory or lousy theories assume that they should be taken seriously when they’re challenging well established theories and dogmas. They’re often damaged people who think tearing down others’ faith will fulfill them in some way. It never does. I have seen more than a few find the fulfillment they were seeking in the very faith they once opposed. It’s funny, but also heartwarming.
I wish for everyone peace of mind. However they find it.

Christian... Christ, but I really suck at this point. Imagine more someone that ran joyfully towards the ocean to play, but fell in the mud. Spiritual failures... weak... Apostle Peter or worse. He died on the cross upside down... because wasn't worth of going right side up. I can relate.

Jesus is/was right. I'm in awe.

There's ups and downs I guess. I'm more joyful when I'm serving God and responding to people in need in the moment, emotionally. Caring for the emotionally down and connecting.

I think scientifically, that's sound as well as "Godly". Each to their own, we are not all the same and Jesus said that. Jesus makes sense to me... mostly.

I don't really like to say following a religion. To me religion has a legalistic and going through the motions vibe to it (church attendance) with a long checklist of things to do (works) But I am a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ and believe He is the son of God, He is the savior of the world. He was beat and crucified on all of our behalf, He paid the price for the forgiveness of the sins of humanity and believing on Him is the only way you can be forgiven of your sins and avoid spending eternity in hell. That's what I believe in a nutshell

Zack-Bann · Answer

I was born and raised a Christian.
Didn’t get w choice in the matter.

As I grew older I became a lot more agnostic because I saw a lot of hypocrisy tied to all religions and a constant promise of good that only leads to bad.

Now a days I’ve become a lot more balanced about it.
Still a believer but also a free thinker (at my own risk)

AyChingao · Answer

If there is a god it certainly isn't benevolent. Some sort of overseer of an experiment perhaps? Denominations that go about warning others that they will be eternally incinerated in hellfire for having the audacity to have chosen (or had chosen by circumstance of birth) the wrong man imagined deity. Yeah... not for me so I suppose I will claim Agnostic. Can't possibly know whether or not there is a god, or what it's nature is.

None at all. When I was about 9 and learned that there are many religions and they all believe they have the truth and the others are wrong, but there's no evidence for any, I realized that they were all just fairy tales.
