Are you religious?

Yup. Santa Muerte. Normally that's Catholic but I try to incorporate her indigenous origin too because she's a cross between both. Been that for around 14 years. I have an altar and pray, haven't tried petitioning yet but I offer stuff like fruit and drinks occasionally.

Recently since this whole ICE thing started I been wanting to work with both her and Jesus Malverde, not sure why.

I have a very weird view of religion, I define mostly as agnostic but spiritual.

I also am a omnist person which means all paths lead to God in different ways and there's no right or wrong. That path is meant for that person.

If I wanted to go with more of a well known religion that would speak to me more it would be Quakers, I enjoy their community advocacy and silent prayer sessions. A lot of Quakers have campaigned against corrupted banks and I see that as the closest adherent to how I would view Christianity if I was that.

Oxford dictionary defines religion as a pursuit or interest to which someone ascribes supreme importance. So, when people assume that to be religious you have to have something to do with associating with a specific group of people, or have a god, or practice some specific set of rituals they are only narrowing their understanding of what it means to be religious. Probably half of the organized religions are atheistic. Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, whereas others leave it up to the individual, like Scientology and Hinduism. Even with other religions like Judaism, Shinto and Christianity many of the adherents don't believe in a god but attend for social, traditional, or other reasons, including financial. It's about community.

I personally believe that everyone is religious in this sense, so while I consider myself religious in that way I have never and would never belong to any organized religious or political group.

I have VERY strong beliefs. Mainly, I believe in God, and I believe in His love and His capacity for forgiveness. However, I can't seem to find a religion that doesn't annoy the living "F" out of me...🤣🤣🤣

I'm more philosophical than religious.

As I see it, philosophy and religion have one commonality and that's having something to believe in.

One key difference with philosophy is that philosophical beliefs aren't strictly limited to any belief in God.

Yes I am.

Yes.

It is evident when I try to get Christians to focus on the founder of this branch, rather than always quoting someone / something else.

I believe Jesus and trust in the Atonement He secured on the cross..

No not at all

No. Was raised by parents that had faith but have never really had any myself.

I believe Jesus and trust in the Atonement He secured for the fogiveness of my sins..

I can successfully argue that a kind of natural afterlife is real. I don't believe in magic at all.

Nature is my religion

I was religious once - indulged in the Baptist brand of so-called Christianity in my late teens - then I saw through the hypocrisy of religion and escaped from the cult. That was 30+ years ago and I've been bible-tox-free ever since.

Spiritual but not religious

Not superstitious at all.

Raised religious.. am not entirely strict

Don't hurt other people,

By practice, but the way I see what matters about it transcends religion

To the extent that I am, I lean towards Pastafarianism AKA the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Nope. I don't believe in any of that.

Too many religions and not enough faith

No, I'm not religious

No
