I follow a Celtic Reconstructionist (neo-pagan) path.
I worship some of the deities that were once worshiped in Celtic-speaking areas during the Iron Age. Honor and hospitality are very important virtues to me. I believe that deities have both positive and negative traits just like anyone else. I do not believe that any deity is all-knowing or all-powerful. I also believe in land and water spirits/deities. After death, I believe that I will go to the Otherworld to feast before reincarnating again to learn more. I honor my ancestors. I celebrate four agricultural holidays a year. I believe that there is an upper realm, a middle realm, and a lower realm---and that none of these is all-positive or all-negative, nor is one more important than the others. I respect the beliefs and deities of others and do not believe that there is only one "true" way to worship.

I believe everything is possible. Every culture in the world has a story about a cataclysmic flood. Was there one? Maybe. Is there a God or Gods? I dunno. Until I see proof, I think the best thing to do is try to be a good person. After all, if I made my own little critters, I'd just want them to be excellent to each other. I'm not perfect, I make mistakes, but the important thing is to learn from them and move on. I just try to make the most out of my life and do what's right. If there is a deity or there are deities that take offense, he/she/it/they can argue over who gets to punish me. But I know that my friends care, and my family, and as long as I have that love and know that I'm actively trying to be good, I feel good about my life.

I do not believe in supernatural beings. I believe that we are all on this planet together and we should make it the best place it can possibly be. We should be kind to each other and help each other. We should take care of our environment. We should educate our children.
Does this all sound strange, coming from an atheist? A study shows that we are the least trusted minority in America. Sad, isn't it.

I am a Jew-----by choice. I converted from Christianity a long time ago. My reasoning? G-d, Jesus, etc., does not make any sense at all. My G-d would not come to earth in human form. THERE IS NO G-D BUT G-D. He was, and is, and forevermore will be. From believing this, all else is easy and just falls into place. Try to treat all people as you would want to be treated, and you have it made.

I am Pagan. I believe that if you seek to know about how human nature and the world around us works, you need to ask other humans and look at the world around us. I believe in science and multiple Gods. I don't believe that just one God could create the diversity of humans, animals, plants, and climates in our world; I also believe that creation by committee accounts for some of the messes in this world. I don't believe this world could have just created itself, because many things work too well for that.

I have no idea what I am... All I know is that when it comes down to it... A good person is a good person, and I know a lot of religious people who are not good people (from all types of religions) and I know many non-religious people who are not good people. If there IS a god, then I am SURE that he/she is NOT EGOTISTICAL he/she will know the difference between good and bad people and he will not turn people away just because we did not honor him specifically. Just live a good wholesome life, value the lives of others and you should be fine.

I am Druid, following traditional Celtic Druid beliefs, practices and pantheon (god-set). I believe in the Father god and Mother goddess, that all things in nature are balanced. Too much info to sum up here, but see http://www.aoda.org for more info on semi-traditional Druidry in America.

the only fact i know is that i exist. I stopped searching why and who made us, what will happen after we die, because it doesn't matter anymore. The true answer in my lufe was to stop asking! what a relief. I reached this after I lost my baby and it helps me to handle the situation: to stop asking because there r no definate answers..Hope everyone gets this kind of relief.
P.S. Born into a muslim society, lost belief in Islam at 12

spiritual not religious, religion was created by man, man is corrupt and evil, spirituality is a feeling, a confidence that a higher power has my back no matter what happens. I know that if I do right I will be ok, if I do wrong, the hammer is gonna be dropped on me. Karma is a MF.
