What faith would a person be if they believe there is a god, a heaven and hell, but does not want to go to chruch?? They believe there is no reason to worship in one building. But they also believe in evolution and big bang theory.

I think they would be called a spiritualist with an open mind. There seems to be a growing trend of blending science and spirituality (see the movie "What the Bleep"). Einstein was said to develop most of his theories while trying to prove the existence of God.
Most spiritualists believe that since we are all connected (all one) that you will attract like minded people to you.
Also remember, "One journey, many paths;one light, many lanterns!"

It depends how far into evolution and big bang theory you go, and what you have against getting the support of other like minded people on a weekly basis.

I personally believe that micro-evolution and big bang are/were ways in which God created the universe. However, I also get great comfort and peace from going to church every week. I get to be around like minded individuals and where we can discuss our beliefs and be spiritually fed. I find it helps protect me and give me the strength I need for the upcoming week.

Jesus told the woman at the well that the time has come that we don't have to worship God on the mountain or in the temple. We must worship in spirit and truth.

However, we are asked to gather with fellow believers - you can do that in your home. We need someone else to help pick us up when we fall.

Christian. Many Christians accept evolution and the Big Bang as scientific fact, citing them as God's divine will. I also know several Christians who do not rely on a middle man to tell them what they know to be true in their hearts.

When I was a member of the Christian faith, I considered church to be little more than a popularity contest. Every week, people would get together and each try to prove themselves to be somehow better or holier than everyone else there.

It's all religious superstition. There is no correct answer, because everybody who believes in a god has their own idea about what that god is. This is because there is no real evidence to support any particular god. If there really were a god, and that god made his opinion known, there wouldn't be so many religions.

If they believe in Jesus then they would still call themself a Christian. Perhaps an unaffiliated Christian.

I like the parable of the embers for this though. Pull an ember out of a fire. Leave it there on the hearth. Within minutes, unsupported by it's community (that's what religion is - community) it goes out.

I think you are undecided. If you believe there is a god then by definition you are not Agnostic or Athiest. If you believe in Christianity then there would be no big bang theory.
But - who said you need a category or title. Just believe what you believe.

Does that person believe in the love and mercy of the one true God? Has that person opened his/her heart and mind to God and accepted salvation thru His Son, Jesus? If so, then it's Christianisty.

If not, it isn't.

A heinz 57 Christian I would imagine. That is an interesting mix. Power to anyone who can follow that many faiths.

Hindu's because they go to temples instead of church. And they believe in worshiping in one building.
