1) Afterlife in Heaven
2) Personal happiness on Earth
3) Helping others
4) I was born into this religion
Any other reasons? Please explain.

#2 is probably the most important. I am Kemetic Wiccan.
Other reasons would probably include:
1. My relationship with the Goddess and God is much more personal than a realtionship with an invisible omnipotent creator deity.
2. This path feels right for me, and has been what I was seeking for most of my life.
3. This particular path takes into account the duality of nature and helps to explain and put into perspective some of the injustices in the world.
4. I have personal ability to change my destiny through my will.

I do not worry about an afterlife. I do think about the lives of those who come after me.
This religion gives me a faith in G-d and mankind, and gives me a community that encompasses history and dreams.
I was born a Christian. I am now a Jew, which fulfills all I need in a religion.

Judaism is Christianity without the magic and miracles. It's a way of life and a "community" working together to make the world a better place for ALL humanity! It's about LIFE today and how we live it. Whatever happened before creation and after death will take care of itself.
Shalom

the Church I attend happens to be nondenominational and this fits in closely with my personal Belief System although I still practice in private a few of my pagan or unconventional idiosyncrasies in private.

All the above +Jesus has filled me with His inner joy and peace.
That doesn't mean I haven't any trials and temptations,but through God's grace I'm able to overcome them.

None of the above, because it fits my personal beliefs.

Mine is the only religion with God's name attached!

I didn't pick it God picked me first,..he loved me first before I was born,when I was in his thoughts.Thus Christianity is my faith.
God Bless!

Atheism is what I was born into, and it is the only conclusion that is logical.
