If you have a faith how important is it to you and how large a part of your life? Do you take it out of a box or do you carry it with you where ever you go? {Sorry atheists and agnostics I don't know how to word this to you.}No offense intended.

My faith is central to my life. I try to remember the Lady and Lord in all my activities and have rituals I do through out the day. For instance I always (unless I’m sick or there is another issue like sick children etc) wake up before the sun rise so that I can watch it and remember that each day is a gift. I use herbs that I harvest from my garden in nearly all my cooking. I have a ritual way of harvesting these herbs. When I cook for my family I stir deiseal and meditate on my love for my family. When I look up at the sky I think of Nut. When I see the Flatirons as I drive into Boulder most mornings I’m reminded of Geb. If I see a cat I think of Bast. As I watch hawks circle over the fields near my house I think of Heru. The world is a beautiful and magickal place. All you have to do is be open to it.

I have no faith - so not important to me at all. I'm an agnostic athiest - as in I see NO evidence what so ever of any God, however I have an openmind, anything is possible.
I appreciate the "no offense" part - sadly many religious people become very upset at me when I express my view of the Bible/God being unproven. Keep in mind I don't knock door to door trying to spread my non-belief. I ony answer when someone attempts to convert me :)
It's very ironic that people of 'faith' get mad when I say none of it has been proven. Why is it ironic?
Because the definition of "faith" = " b (1) : firm belief in something for which there is no proof"!
I'm a seeker of the truth - found throught evidence.
I do find the paranormal, science, and religious theories interesting - see my below source links for some very thought provoking websites. I promise they are not all athiest - they're a good mix of religion & athiest :)

Have you ever seen a real Christian? Not one of those people that talks about it but someone who also lives it. There's few of these and, you know, it's a real shame. Christians, in general, think it's fine to just talk about it amongst themselves and go to Church. Yet, that's not what Christianity is. It's not just another religion, it's a faith. And do I walk by faith...? Sometimes, but I'm not perfect, so I can't say I aways walk faithfully.
And, the only time we do is when we trust in God to work through us and we do it for His glory. Then, whatever God alouds will still bring glory to His name, and that is what it's all about. God's glory, not our glory. Faith that He will get it done, not that we will get it done, it's His work, His timing, and His plan. So, do I take my faith with me...yes, I guess, I do.

I'm atheist. My beliefs are pretty important to me but I don't feel the need to bash people over the head with my ideas. If I'm asked, I'll give my opinion, otherwise I keep it to myself. I try to be respectful of everyone's beliefs and faiths so I expect the same.

Faith is a strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny. My faith is my spirit and it surrounds me. It is with me all the time, wherever I go. Although, my faith is important to me, I will not blow myself up in the name of it, because I consider killing ones self a sin. Since, faith is a belief it is not in a box, it is apart of one's spirit and soul.

Embracing Islam is the sole means to fulfilling the purpose of our existence, which in turns leads to the attainment of true inner peace and eternal salvation.
Islam gives our lives order, meaning, balance, purpose, and direction. We have hope founded on clear facts and dependable revelation from God
In Islam you will return to the pure, original, sinless state in which God created you. You will experience true freedom - the pure, direct, and exclusive worship of the One True God, free of any intermediaries between you and Him.
. You will find that you have entered a religion pure and clear, free of confusion and contradiction, with a preserved Book and a beautiful way of life. And in the hereafter, you will abide forever in peace, in gardens beneath which rivers flow

My faith is very important to me. I do take it with me wherever I go. However, I'm not showy with it. I try to be an example to people around me.

My faith is everything to me! I carry it with me everywhere I go! It is my whole life! Without it, nothing would have meaning or purpose for me!

My faith is very important to me. It is my way of life and my relationships to my deities.
