I am a Deist. We believe God created the universe, but does not interfere with it. Thus we do not believe in prophets, messiahs, holy books, etc. God has no reason to interfere with the world (if he is truly omnipotent, the universe should be able to run without interference). We believe that every person must find God in their own way (and if people decide to follow Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, etc., then so be it). We find God by looking around us and observing. We use reason and logic to find our answers. Many of the founding fathers were Deists, and they were responsible for the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of religion.

Spiritualism is a rational religion based on the proven knowledge that man's spirit survives physical death. This has led to a philosophical and scientific approach new to traditional religious faith.
Spiritualist philosophy contains neither dogma nor creed and it is discussed rather than preached. There is an increasing tendency in these times to think and act collectively and Spiritualism is a religion matching this trend.
It is a Religion of Reason for all those who see this as an Age of Reason.
At some time in their lives all men ask themselves the question "What happens to me when I die?"
Spiritualism claims to give the definite answer to this question.

Well, I'm a catholic, but I guess I take religion with a grain of salt. I mean, while I still believe in God, I'm not irrational enough to take the Bible WORD for WORD and critisize others for not following God the same way I do. I mainly try to live a good life and help others, instead of merely claiming to be Christian. Oh, and not all priests are pedophiles.

I am a mormon from 'The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' and we believe in one God. I was born into this religion and I love it. To see what our beliefs are go to our official site as there is just too much to write as we believe in many things. =)

Unity of Humankind, the truth of God is one, the religious truth is one, there is not a profound difference among the different religions, the whole world will became one single country as an inevitable humankind's maturity process.
The baha'i faith.

my religion is Lutheran
and this is a synopsis of what we believe
We proudly call ourselves "Risen Savior" because Jesus died for our sins and rose again that we might live with him. We joyfully bear the name "Evangelical" (meaning "good news") because the good news of Jesus is central to all we teach. We are a "Lutheran Church" because we believe, teach and confess the ancient truths of the Christian church that Luther rediscovered in the Reformation - "by faith alone," "by grace alone" and "by Scripture alone."

Christianity is not just another religion. It is the life of God abiding within and flowing out of the believer. Other religions leave you the same as you were before. But the wonderful thing about the Christian life is that it will completely transform you.
When you are born again, your spirit is instantly transformed into the image of God. The spirit is that part of you which takes on the nature of God. According to the Word, once that happens you should immediately start the process of changing your soul. The Bible calls it "renewing the mind."
Your soul is your mind, your will and your emotions. Spiritual growth is determined by how much your soul has been changed by the Word of God. Nothing is wrong with your spirit if you are born again; the life of God is in there. You are indwelt by the Holy Ghost. But you are hindered from living a spiritual life by a soul (mind) that thinks like the world instead of like God. This is true because your soul (will) also determines your actions.
Once you have been born again, the Bible instructs you to "put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness" (Ephesians 4:24). This means your soul and body are to take on the same image as your spirit. This happens through the process of changing your mind, your will and your emotions to understand and walk in the ways of God.
To live in God's perfect will you must renew your mind. You must learn to live from the inside out. There is no other way to live victoriously.
When we are born of the Spirit, we are to conform to the image of God's Son (Romans 8:29). You and I ought to act just like Jesus. The only thing that stands in the way is our soul. Without a renewed mind we would not dare to walk and act like Jesus.

I am a Christian. I worship Jesus, the true God who proved that he was God when he rose from the dead. Only God has the power over life and death. No other religion has a LIVING SAVIOR. They are praying to dead prophets who are buried in their graves.
