What Religion Are You? - Goals - 2010-08-19
What's the difference between atheism and no religion?
What Religion Are You? - Chewy - 2010-08-19
Raised as a Buddhist.
Never really got too into it. I still follow some teachings though.
Wouldn't say I'm a religious person at all.

Catholic.

Reminds me, I need to formally defect. I got confirmed before I realized hypocrisy.

Atheism ascribes to a god not existing which is a belief itself. No religion is simply that - no religion, apathy. Just like the absence of hot is cold but cold still contains heat, the absence of god is atheism but atheism is still a belief.

I was confirmed to, but this is how I look at it. God loves every single person no matter what. Then I am relieved. However, the anti-pro choice/other stuff irks the heck out of me.

No religion.
I was raised Roman Catholic but I disagree with a lot of it.

Atheist, raised Christian.
I don't understand people who distance themselves from Atheism and say, "Oh, nobody knows."
Nobody can disprove with absolutely certainty the existence of invisible pink unicorns. I don't know about you, but I don't tell people I'm "unsure" about whether invisible pink unicorns exist.

I was raised Jewish and Christian. But I chose No religion only because I can't really choose 1 or the other.

ImagineAll, can we please not go down that road? I'm already biting my tongue on a few people here.

Figuring out God or Gods is unknowable and cannot be proven by mere mortals, but following the morality of peaceful religions is conducive to a happy and productive life.
^^ This right here ^^
I was raised Christian for my morals for a little bit but never really appealed to me in the end.

There are two overwhelming things that start fighting in our humanity; politics and religion. You can't prove which is correct. It's all a matter on what you personally believe.
What Religion Are You? - Kurtle - 2010-08-19
Roman Catholic and proud.

Atheism
I got asked earlier today why not just be religious and find out your wrong when you die. I look at religion as not what happens after death but how you treat it during life. Frankly when I die I just want to disappear. I don't care for the whole concept of a church either. All I see out of religion is closed minded people who are willing to start a war over being right.

I know but what is the point of just stating your religion? At least give a reason why.
/Done talking
I can't get any further into religious discussion.

I suppose a reason would be nice. However, we should be extra careful while treading on thin ice.
