Roman Catholic. It's hard to sum up a religion in a few words, but the Nicene Creed that we recite at church every week gives you a thumbnail sketch:
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty
maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God, begotten, not made,
one in Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us [men] and for our salvation
he came down from heaven
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered, died, and was buried.
On the third day he rose again in fulfilment of the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of Life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come
Amen.

I'm a Piegan. We worship delicious baked good and all confectionery derivatives form these fine treats! Keep it simple is our motto, Hey every one has to eat right? It's the worlds oldest religion and the fastest growing religion on the planet, well not this planet but a planet somewhere. Right now the leader of our church is Chad the High Baker ( He calls Himself the fourth but that just because He's so freaking gay! ) who has no real authority over the rest of us because Pieganism isn't about bossing other People around; it's about Yummy treats! Have a nice thanks giving if Your an Americano and make sure You get some Pie!!!!

Used to be Roman Catholic. Now I am an Agnostic(its not a religion). I believe there is no proof for the existence of God. To me Science and logic contradict religion. Also for mankind to claim to know the will of God is Ridiculous. come on......

I am LDS (Mormon).
We Beilieve in God , the Eternal Father and in his Son Jesus Christ and in the Holy Ghost.
We believe that man will be punished for his own sins and not for Adam's trangression.
We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
We believe that the First four Principles of the Gospel are:
First Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ,
Second Repentance
Third Baptism by Immersion for the remmision of sins
Fourth the Laying on of Hands for the Gift of the Holy Ghost
We believe that a man must be called of God, by prophecy, and by the laying on of hands by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
We believe in the same organization that existed in the Primitive Church, namely, apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists, and so forth.
We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.
We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
We believe in the literal agathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth; and, that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory.
We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our own cconscience, and allow all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may
We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.
These are just a few of our basic beliefs, You can find out more at: http://www.Mormon.org or http://www.LDS.org
By the way great question.

I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We believe in the God head, Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. We believe that by following all of God's commandments, that we will ascend to the Celestial Kingdom. We believe that Joseph Smith restored the gospel to the world, and that Gordon B Hinckley, who is the 1st President of the church, is a living prophet, and that the church, and the gospel are true.

Im an atheist. I thinking it is not a religion since people in our origins are atheists. Animals are also atheists since they dont believe in anything. Our ancestors(evolution) were atheists. Babies are born agnostic until society inputs religion.I guess Im trying to say religions are basically man-made.

My religion is the religion of confusion.
I'm young and still unsure of myself, but I lean more towards the Christian religion than anything else.

Religion as an organization is not important to me any more.
It is more important to BE religious.
By that I mean to see the mystery and beauty of all that is and to experience gratitude for being supported each second.

Buddhism =)
Buddhism may not be a religion per se, some view it as a philosophy. I see it as the path to enlightenment. I meditate to attempt to be in the moment and to eliminate the causes of suffering.
