And why?

Catholic, I grew up without any religion. I felt God was calling me and after a lot of soul searching and study I found out that the Catholic Church was the one true church that Jesus founded.

I am very spiritual, more so than most people I know. However, I wouldn't consider myself a "member" of any particular religion. I believe that all religions have valid & useful aspects. I enjoy learning about other religions & spiritual beliefs & studying the religious beliefs & practices of ancient religious traditions.
If I had to categorize myself I'd say I'm a Gnostic/Pagan. BTW- I was raised Catholic.

I am hindu. As for why, I was born and raised to understand my religion. I am a big believer in Karma, and that's what hinduism involves. Their is only one God, and every religion has it's own fabrication and myths. That's why I believe in doing good to receive good. It doesnt work out that way all the time, but at least I have a good heart and mind towards life.

Jehovah's Witnesses.
In my extensive search of numerous religions, they are the only one's that I have ever found the truly believe this...
2 Timothy 3:16 “All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness.”
And live this...
John 13:35 “By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.”
There are numerous, and I mean numerous, other reasons as well. One particular noteworthy reason is that the New World Translation is the most accurate english translation that exists (although there are some things I would translate differently, the NWT is not perfect, but very close).

I was a christian growing up. when I was 18 I became a fundamental christian when I was 21 I became a universalist and then shortly after that at 23 I lost my faith and became an agnostic. I spent the next sevral years studying different idea's from all different angles in hopes of having a clearer knowledge of that which is by it's very nature unknowable. I still hold to my agnostic approch to idea's and thoughts(meaning I have no concrete beliefs my beliefs are rather fluid in nature) and my curent line of thinking falls along what is called New Thought Philosaphy

My religion is the same as that of Adam & Eve, Noah, Abrham, Ismaeel, Issac, Jacob, Moses, Mary, Jesus and Muhammad (PBUT). Muhammad was the not the founder of Islam. The Book Quran is authored by the God. It is the only book which is preserved letter by letter, word by word in its original language and that language if fresh frozen. So Quran is not dusted or rusted. Allah has taken an oath on Himself.to guard and protectQuan for last 1425 years.

I am a Baha'i not because my family were Bahai or not because I raise in a Bahai family.
I am a Bahai as I found it the religion of our age.

I love the fact of equality of men and women which I did not find in any other religion as clear as this one

I am Baha'i and I chose to be Baha'i in this faith you have to go for the truth and you are not going to fallow your parents religion with out doing your own research and make sure that is your Truth. Men and women has to be equal and because:
The Baha'i Faith is the youngest of the world's independent religions. It is based on the teachings of Baha'u'llah (1817-1892), Who is regarded by Baha'is as the most recent in a line of Messengers of God that includes Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Zoroaster, Christ, and Muhammad.
Baha'u'llah taught that there is only one God and one human family, that all religions represent progressive stages in the revelation of God's Will, and that humanity is reaching its long-awaited stage of maturity, when a peaceful and just world order can finally be realized.
The worldwide Baha'i community, composed of people from virtually every racial, ethnic and religious background, is working to give practical expression to Baha'u'llah’s vision of world unity. We invite everyone, regardless of race, religion or ethnicity, to study, worship and work with us to bring into reality the vision of humanity as one global family and the earth as one home.
