Welcome to the new USA. Under a new leader now, they are extremely strict about religion. All religions. In fact, you've been documented on EXACTLY what religion you believe.
And it's on your creditcard. And all of your information.
And there are a lot of police. Everywhere.
The only rule is that you have to keep at the beliefs of your religion -- or lack there of... otherwise you're sent to jail for life!
Every ten years you're allowed to switch religions... if your religion permits it. So, if you're in jail and change your religion 10 years after being there or whatever, and you adhere to your religion, you're set free.
So, state your religion. Would you end up in jail?

I'm a chaos mage. Good luck finding a way for me to break my beliefs! :D

Atheistic. Considering the USA has a Constitution that permits freedom of religion, and that a new leader would have to have extreme, almost dictatorship power, then there would be no way that they could change that. If it ever happened I would leave the country. But you probably don't consider that an option
So of the two choices you give, I would fake it and not go to jail

I am Muslim.
I have a question, though. Given that the different denominations of all the major religions have slightly different belief and practices, and that each person has his or her own understanding of their religion, doesn't that mean that each individual has a very slightly different religion, technically, and that will change over time as the person's perceptions are altered by life?
I do try very hard to follow my religion as I understand it, but my beliefs and practices are not identical to every other Muslim. What are your standards for keeping beliefs? Does keeping beliefs include keeping practices? (In other words, is all sin illegal?)

I probably would. I probably will, someday. If your beliefs aren't strong enough to make a decision like this, then your beliefs are little more than superstitions. I have a relationship with Jesus. I talk to Him everyday and He is always as close as I need Him to be. He will never leave me or ignore me. That is something that no other 'religion' can offer.

I follow the Lord Jesus Christ - that is my "religion." I would never give that up. I have a personal relationship with Him and He is with me no matter where I go or what I do. So to answer your question - I would to to jail for Jesus but never give Him up or stop serving Him.

Baha'i. Probably, since no one but God is perfect. I think I, really, must say I am TRYing to be a Baha'i; because the only perfect example of a Baha'i was the son of the prophet-founder, Baha'u'llah (the Glory of God), 'Abdu'l-Baha (Servant of the Glory). He was our perfect exemplar. The rest of us are just, conscientiously, trying to beCOME Baha'is. Three steps forward, two back, three more steps forward, etc. God knows we're imperfect; He only requires that we spend our lives perfecting ourselves, knowing we'll never reach perfection. If perfect adherence were required, then, yes. I'd probably end up in jail.

Christian, guilty, and will be in for life, or be executed. What you are "pretending" sounds a lot like the end time predictions in the Bible, except you give people 10 years instead of instantly converting.

Religion is man made, I don't believe in religion. I believe in having a personal relationship with God. I would go to jail for my faith anytime.

what would you do with the people who fall between the cracks and have a religious belief system based on Christianity but has elements of other belief systems including the Ancient Ways of their ancestors such as Native American, Celtic, Germanic, Norse, etc. ?
