Buddhism
It is founded on logic and offers benefits not in the next life but in this one.
This quote inspired me to choose Buddhism after I gave up Christianity, it showed me that blind faith was not required
"Believe nothing.
No matter where you read it,
Or who said it,
Even if I have said it,
Unless it agrees with your own reason
And your own common sense"
- Buddha -

I am a Christian. Period. Not a Catholic or a Protestant. Just a Christian. I worship God. I'm not interested in the doctrinal arguments between the different denominations or the focus on money. I was raised Catholic. My Dad was a wonderful man who read the Bible several times. In the Catholic church the only place you'll find a Bible is on the altar. If not for my Dad I wouldn't have known much about the Bible. God lifts me up, giving me His strength when I am weak, carries me when I can no longer do it alone, is always there for me, forgives my sins, sent His only Son to die for my sins. I believe that being a Christian means living a life of service to others, people I know and strangers, alike. I pray to live my life as close to Christ as I possibly can. Jesus inspires me every day.

Well, I used to be Unitarian, I went cuz I was forced to go. Then from 12 to 15 or so, I complained so much about it that I didn't have go, from 16 to 18 or so I want back to it, mostly cuz of cuties and drugs and fun times at LRY. Mostly the advisors stole the cuties. I became sort of a spiritual atheist. I try to be a good person and treat people as I would want to be treated.

Im A human who believes in God and that God speaks to his children in langueges they can understand. God is not an idiot and speaks pygmy as well as greek. I joined a christian church because its the language I understand. WHat inspired me to be a part of the church in my town is. WE feed the poor. We collect clothes for the poor. We help Orphans.THe list goes on and on. We have a big old solar panel on the roof and spread the word to take care of our planet. We accept everyone uncondiotionally we judge no one. We work on our own sins inwardly and try and spread Love to the world.
I cant tell you what language you speek. It may be islam or judaism or hinduism. Whatever it is spread love. Its Love that I love. IT is Love that inspires and seeing people who dont talk about love. But act in Loving ways. Wanted me to be apart of it.

I am a Christian, i like it because i love the Lord, my Savior. Its not about being inspired by any particular religion. Its about wanting to be blessed and loved every day by my creator. Just being blessed to wake up every morning and knowing the Lord my God loves me, is enough.

Religion is a pre-packaged shrink wrapped and shelved attempt at spirituality......If one really places spirituality as like #1 on the list of things that matter..wouldn't you want it to start from your heart....whats inside of you not what someone has spoonfed you? I take free thought as a birthright and I am more spiritually content today because of that.

I don't just practice a religion, I have a way of life. I love it because it's true and beneficial. What inspired me is the Bible, God, and other faithful ones.

Wiccan. What I love most about it is that it fits me. I don't need to adjust my life to someone else's beliefs. We all choose a path. That past should feel totally comfortable. I applaud all religions that do not believe in harming others.

I don't have a Religion. I am a believer in Jesus Christ, as my Lord and Savior. He wasn't religious, and the Pharisees wanted to kill him for breaking the law on the Sabbath. He made the Sabbath for man, not for Himself.
