For example, I'm a Christian, but if I wasn't a Christian, I would be a humanist.
What about you?

I have been pagan since childhood and it is hard to imagine anything different. I suppose I would follow Hinduism because it is polytheistic and has some tenets in common with my current faith. Good food for thought.

Wow, so, christianity (in the positive extremest sense, because I do not mean those extremests that kill and what not, but those who continually give, pull communities together, give out hope like its water) is not humanistic? True christianity is humanistic, is it not? And true humanism is an ideal form of christianity.
I believe all religion is correct in a way or few, but I do not think anyone can really describe what is going on. And if I had the opposite view, in which case I do know what is going on, would it still be religion, or would it be something more tangible like "fact" I guess?

I would believe in the beliefs of people I trust.
I am supposed to be christian, but I don't trust christians anymore.
I am therefore a free thinker, taking the best from the people I trust the most (historically speaking, that is)

I"m a Lutheran, my best friends parents are pastors, most of my other friends parents work in the church as well, and my parents are the youth leaders at my church. If I wasn't Lutheran, I think in the end I would end up back as a Lutheran but...probably a Baptist before I found my way back.

am an Atheist and I cannot imagine being anything else unless I start a new religion. It would stress love for everyone and taking care of the needy. It would make peace mandatory and Money or the love of it would get you kicked out immediately.

If I wasn't Christian I would be a monotheist agnostic (still wondering how to understand the one God).

I am a Latter Day Saint, ( mormon)
I would probably be a Lutheran, if not a LDS.
They are very well read in the scriptures and
believe in agency like we do.

Tim, if I am not a Christian, I would going to be a 'Free Thinker' and perhaps to become false god myself. Bless my soul!

If I wasn't Christian I would probably be aetheist. I'm insecure about my belief as it is.

I believe what I want to believe not what others want me to believe.
