I have no religion. I'm an atheist, and no, that's not a religion. I can explain it if you'd like, but that'll take a while.

How does it affect ur spirituality, life, friends, family & ur goals?

(1) I don't have a spirituality. I'm an atheist.

(2) My life is effected positively. I can evaluate the merit in behaviors and ideas without being bogged down by the irrational dictates of an outdated mythology.

(3) Most of my friends are non-theists and atheist. Those who are not accept that I'm a good person and that people are allowed their differing positions. In fact, a friend once told me that I'm one of the best Christians he knows of despite the fact that I'm an atheist.

(4) My family knows I'm an atheist and they don't bother me about it. In fact, I think they just don't think about it most of the time. I know my mother isn't worried because, despite being a devout Catholic, she's told me that if I'm a good person and lead a decent life, I'll join her in heaven.

(5) Atheism effects my goals in that I don't do everything to glorify any deity. I do things for the good of my life, for the good of my marriage, for the good of my son, for the good of my job, for the good of mankind, but not for something that doesn't exist.

I am a Baptist, but I don't consider that the important thing. Having a relationship with Christ is the most important. I would leave the Baptist Church if I didn't feel they were preaching the true word of God. My walk with Christ has grown immensely since I began going to this Church. My life has changed for the better. I have better friends and my Mother just recently got saved. I have been very interested in spreading the Gospel like never before Is.6:8-Whom shall I send and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I, Send me!

1. My religion is the path of truth.

It is not easy but it is my aim to live this religion till the day I leave this world. I get told off several times, and I get upset. But I wake up the next morning and start again. This is what I will do every day of my life no matter who tries to stop me.

2. My religion is seeking justice for the weak and the meek.

Does anyone in this world really know how many voices have been subdued by the powerful and the merciless fanatics?
To be the voice of the victims is a reward in itself and it brings me a lot of strength that I may have the ability to be there for them. Can anyone ever analyse what has been done to a voice that speaks no words or sound and yet screams and screams?

3. I am a hindu.

I follow a Celtic path.
My religion is the framework that I use to increase my spirituality.
It is my way of life rather than a part of my life.
It affects the way that I treat my friends and family--and all other living things.
My religion provides me a way of understanding life and my place in it so that I am able to distinguish my priorities. My goals are based on these priorities.

Im a Christian. Because of that I pray a lot (I just like to talk to God) and try to keep my trust in God. My life is totally different from it. It makes me what to be a better person. I also try to be a better example and do good things for people in need so that they can feel hope and love from God. My relationships are taken to a deeper level. We all try to bring out the best in each other and always be there. My goals are ultimately Gods goals (He always knows best) to affect someones life, to have a great Christian family, to raise good children, and to find the right guy for me (im also saving myself for marriage in case you were wondering because thats one of the greatest tests of love...waiting)

Wiccan. I'm extremely spiritual and at peace. My life is more fulfilled than ever. Didn't really affect my friends that I already had, but some people that have met me over the years and discovered it have decided I wasn't their best choice in friends (they were Chrisitan and didn't agree with it.) My family accepts it and they are Christian. They actually send me cards celebrating my holidays and have bought books to learn more about it. It has helped me reach my goals because it empowers me and makes me feel strong and independent.

Roman Catholic, as opposed to the media contrived thing they call "American Catholicism", which is non-existent when you look at the origin of THE Catholic Church. How does it affect my spirituality, life, friends, etc.? It effects it so completely and so wonderfully that I am often contrite for the years in my adolescence and early adulthood that I forsook it, and God. And to have returned to the Church when the late Pope John Paul II became Pope on my birthday in 1978 was the greatest thing I could imagine. And now to have his very close friend and now Pope, Benedict XVI as Pope, continues the blessings God gives me in His Church. Thanks for asking. My answering your question is a way of celebrating my relationship with Jesus our Christ and the Roman Catholic Church. God Bless you.

Music is my religion.
It's universally uplifting.
My relationship with God is personal and spiritual.
He gives me the inspiration and strength to share music with the world. Every time I do that I leave the world a bit better than it was before I started playing.
