i think the main problem in this country is that people are automatically brought up into christianity, i think we should be educated about the different religions with an unbiased view and left to make our own choice. i ws brought up catholic and hated it, i knew it was the wrong path, some people just hate religion altogether because of their experiences with christianity and drop it, but others like me go in search for another path. i'm now a happy spiritualist.

I'm 'CAP'...(Christian and Proud!)
I love being it, because I just feel that it's the right way for me...yes, people say that you can't be gay/bisexual AND Christian, but I am...so, that proves them wrong! I just got done watching a movie about "gays" vs "the church", and it seemed like both sides were not on the right page. "The church" seemed to be upset about this kid going to prom with his boyfriend, and they made too much of a fuss about it! The "gays" wanted to sue, and almost put down the church.
How I see it is that the world should just accept people's beliefs as well as their physical features (skin color, sexual orientation, height, etc...). It just seems as if everyone would be more happy if they lived together...I...Want...Peace! j.

I have been Wiccan now for 3 years, before that I did not belive in any relligion at all even though I was chrisaned (not sure about the spelling of that) I was brought up to be christian util I was 5 but at such a young age I could not understand relligion and thus did not have any actual belife as the consept of relligion at that age just went way over my head. Then when I moved here to France my Gran was no longer draging me off to church evry Sunday as she does not live here so couldnt thus I spent the next 7ish years without a single thought about relligion.
I am very open and intrested to hear what others have to say about their own relligion an dbelive everyone should be entitled to following their own faith and belive whatever they wish to belive. SW

I'm not sure exactly what I am. I think I'm in a transition phase. For most of my life I was a Christian, but after a while I realized I just couldn't take it any more. My folks still consider themselves Christian though, so we don't really discuss religion too often at my house (at the risk of starting a very nasty argument). Anyway, for all intents and purposes, when people ask me what my religion is, I tell them I'm agnostic. It's the closest thing to my situation, I guess, even though I do believe in a lot of things that could classify as "new age" (like astrology, tarot cards, & candle meditation). Oh well, I'll figure it out eventually...___/) (o.O) (>< ) "Speak up!" said Shep, "I've only got one ear!"

Hmm.
I was raised sort of Roman Catholic. Sort of meaning my mother went through religious phases where she'd drag me and my sister to church and then we wouldn't go for five years. Can really screw a kid up. She's been talking about having me confirmed lately and it really FREAKS ME OUT. I just can't believe in the Christians's idea of God anymore and tying myself to a religion I can't support makes me feel a little sick. It's not even about the whole "EVIL! YOU LIKE OTHER GIRLS!" thing.
I am actually just a Wiccan wanna be. I don't take part in the more spell/magik part of the religion (hense the wanna be bit) but I do believe in the Rede, the god and goddess and all of the basic premises of Wiccan as a religion. It just seems so Earthy and calming. No hell, just reincarnation. Now that I can believe in. My room is just full of crazy candles, incense, my very precious runes (orange stones! PRETTY!), herbs (a shelf of them) and these pretty necklaces my friend gave me (all though I more wear them, I guess).
So...Wiccan Catholic? Scary thought, that.

In other words, I don't have a religion. I just believe... Love = Freedom

I'm Catholic, but I don't follow most of the church's teachings. Mainly I'm Catholic for the Social Justice teachings, and the idea of loving your neighbor. I think it's about believing in something, and that something for me is a greater good. The core message of Catholicism is that greater good for me...the vessel (the Church) isn't that great, but what can I do?

Ba'Hai- It focuses on the importance of all the worlds religions, cultures and people. It also allows to pick apart other religions, and take what I want, and leave what i don't.
It also has no ceremonies, or rites. Simply be, and you are. Their HQ is the Lotus Temple. Google it.
