you can be spiritual without being religious. having faith doesn't mean you have to commit yourself the the rules of a labeled religion.

Just as you cannot be defined in the negative (ie, "I'm not a boy, I'm not 18, I'm not a soccer player, I don't like blue"), your beliefs cannot either.
Decide what you believe and see if you really do adhere to a religion or not. While I would argue that there is an ideal way to seek the Truth, I cannot compel that onto you, and would not want you to follow it unless you chose to do so and understood it.

Whatever you believe in. If you don't believe in any religion, but believe there's probably a higher being that we have can never learn about on Earth, then you're agnostic, but that could be considered more of a philosophy than religion. And if you don't believe in a god at all, then you're an atheist.
Or, you could make your own religion.

You're nothing, unless you choose to be. You aren't born into any religion- it can't be inherited like the color of your eyes. Your religion is the set of ideas you choose to accept as true about the nature of the universe and your place in it. Figure out what you think is true, and then you'll know what you are. Not until then.

Whatever you choose to be. You say you are not Christian, but do you believe in a God? If so, you could explore Judaism, Islam, or even Hinduism or Buddhism. I would encourage you to do some research until you find something with which you are comfortable. Good luck, and to your mom, "blessed be."

You are whatever religion that speaks to you...even if there isn't one out there that fits you, that is alright too. You don't have to have a religion to be a person. You are a complete person with or without religion, no matter what anyone else says.

Religion isn't really inherited. You can be Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Wiccan...etc, it's your choice regarding just what you believe in.

Still searching. Take your grandparents bible and read the book of John a few times. Really think about what you are reading and then talk to one of them about it. Let God direct you as you read.
