I am none of these. I am Deist. But if I had to choose one, I would say Buddhist. After all, I believe in Karma, reincarnation, the middle way, etc. I believe in almost everything the Buddha taught, except for one thing. The first Noble Truth is "Life IS suffering." I do not believe Life is suffering, although it contains suffering.
Some have classified me as a Buddhist-Deist, though!
Be blessed,
Byron
