Oh buddy. You are so going to get nailed on here. The religious people are a little bit...fanatical on here for some reason. In my opinion, God is love. Period. And he doesn't care if you are a bottom or a top. He still loves ya.

The short answer is "Which religion".
The slightly longer is that it doesn't really matter. You'll get flack from all sides, because you made the wrong choice.
From the perspective of Rabbinical Judaism, a bisexual women is _barely_ acceptable. A bisexual male is not acceptable.
From the perspective of Reform Judaism, the only thing that matters is whether or not your understanding of the Tanakh, and Talmud permit it.
From the standpoint of Christianity, if you are having sex outside of marriage, you are committing a sin. Theologically, the gender of the person is irrelevant. As a practical matter, most churches pay more attention to the sin of homosexuality/lesbianism, than they do to that of adultery.
From the standpoint of Islam, male homosexuality is prohibited. Female lesbianism is barely tolerated. [As a practical matter, the data from Islamic countries indicates a higher incidence of homosexuality / Male bisexuality, than in the western countries.]
Buddhism tends to promote celibacy over either homosexuality, or heterosexuality. In all instances, if your sexual activity, or lack thereof, gets in the way of attainment, it is a sin.
Daoism doesn't care about your sexual orientation --- only your practices. It discourages male ejaculation. It also discourages anal intercourse. The rational for the first, is that a man has a limited amount of seed, and that seed must be recycled within the body. The rational for the second, is that body openings are designed for matter to go one way --- either in, or out. The anus is for matter to leave the body, not enter the body. [This is also why vomiting is frowned upon, within Daoism. Food enters the mouth, not leaves the mouth.]
Hindu attitudes about bisexuality are complicated. On the one hand, it is acceptable. On the other hand it is prohibited. Each of those finds its rational in the Rig Veda. The one thing it does claim, is that celibacy is the better choice.

I think bisexuals are somewhere right in the middle spectrum of the range of human sexuality, I was bi early on but later I decided it was best not to spread myself about too thinly, I'm now just as happily in a monogamous gay relationship. I'm not religious.
Bisexuality is just a normal human variation like height or IQ, I think often however we are usually slightly more attracted to either males or females, sexually I'm slightly more attracted to males.
Attraction to people as people not merely as sets of genitals... if you find someone attractive and the feeling is mutual what does it matter what sex they are. You find something beautiful you should chase it!
PS: (In reply to dimwit's answer below)...
Fictional towns Sodom & Gomorrah destroyed for the sin of failing to provide safe hospitality to visiting strangers plus general sinfulness unspecified...the towns were already due to be destroyed anyway but there was an attempted rape of the angels who brought this news to Lot...hardly homosexuality as we know it, not even same-species let alone same-sex attempted rape and anyway not the reason for the town's annihilation, it was already scheduled for destruction.

I'm not religious now but was raised in a Presbyterian church. That particular church's perspective is that it's not right but that they should be allowed to be members of the church..but not leaders, which really upset one of my church friends who was a closeted homosexual at the time.
my 2cents: It's natural, you should be proud of who you are.
