Just want to know what faith/religion to you currently follow or practice. If your agnostic or atheist please let me know as well!
Try to be detailed about what exact sect or branch of that faith you are if possible. For example don't say Catholic say Roman Catholic, don't say Protestant say Lutheran, Baptist, Methodist, Evangelical, or don't just say Muslim say Sunni or Shiite. Personally I was originally raised a Roman Catholic but gave up my faith (for numerous reasons) to practice Wicca and I'm so satisfied with my new religion! Either way I respect all religions or no religion at all but I just want to know your faith for my own curiosity. Thanks for any answers I get!

Wow, it's nice to see such a great diversity of answers here :)
I am a pagan and an experimental magician. I was raised Roman Catholic, but discovered nature-based neopagan religions in my late teens, about a decade ago. My primary focus has always been totemism and other forms of animal magic, but I've explored a number of different realms.
A couple of years ago I started working with Chaos magic; this isn't about disorder, but rather a system of magic that's based on practicality and results (to put it very, very, very simply). It made my path a lot more magic-based, though I'm wandering back towards the spiritual side of things as of late.
These days I label myself a pagan because it's a nicely generic term that covers the pantheistic, animistic, totemistic beliefs I have. I am an experimental magician and I enjoy seeing what sorts of fun things I can do with magic that haven't really been done before. I enjoy writing about the topic and have one book out with a couple more on the way, as well as a bunch of articles.

I'm Lutheran. We simply believe that the Bible was written by God through man and should be followed without anything being added or removed. The Old Testament is a history book. Everything changed when Jesus Christ came to earth and died on the cross for our sins. The two commandments in the New Testament are how we should live our lives today.
Good Luck and God Bless!

Is it curiosity or are you writing a paper?
I'm currently since 1991 an eclectic pagan. I study and believe in Thelema. I currently belong to an OTO(Ordo Templi Orientis) oasis. I was in a Golden Dawn/Wiccan Coven before I moved to Arizona. Since I'm eclectic I also study other things like Gnosticism, Hindu, Buddhism, Voodoo/Santeria and so many other things here and there. Since I am Italian I also study Stregheria(Italian Magick).Thelema is eclectic in itself and allows you to study other things besides its teachings of doing your WILL in life while trying to "Love" (its a bit different from the Wiccan Rede though).
I was born and raised Roman Catholic and wasnt really religious then. I was later a born again Pentecostal Christian for 4 years.
I need to say that even though I no longer am part of the christian churches some of that stuff still lingers within me and helped me learn about what I believe today. Therefore I'm saying that my life experiences was for the good and helped me to grow into who i am today even though not all of it was good then(a lot of it was sad) it was worth it.
I hope this was somewhat what you were looking for to hear.
Happy New Year! :)

I follow the moral philosophy of Humanism, but I'm also a Unitarian Universalist, which is a liberal religious tradition that welcomes people of all faiths, as well as nontheists. Kudos for your respectful attitude toward people of other faiths and moral philosophies. Happy Friday to you, and Happy New Year. I hope you had a joyful Yule.

I was baptized and confirmed in the Episcopal church, but I got my first exposure to meta-physics at the age of 14 when I read my first Edgar Cayce book. It really rang true for me right from the beginning. Later, in my early 20's I found the Jane Roberts/Seth books, and I read most of them. They were (and still are) awesome, but not very easy to explain to other people. There have been many authors on the subject, whose writings I love, but my current favorite is Neale Donald Walsch.
Anyway...I consider myself to be a New Age/Pagan.

New Orleans Voodooist here! I practice at home. I was raised Catholic. My altar at home incorporates symbols of Catholicism and Voodooism, as well as Hoodooism. Marie LaVeau is my inspiration, and I work with the saints during rituals.

I am and will always be Wiccan. I actually think I was born a witch, but being raised Christian it took me a while to discover that and accept it as "okay". More than one reader/spiritualist has told me I have it in my family, and that my mother is very intuitive but very afraid of it, which is an incredibly accurate depiction of my mother. I am intensely happy and at great peace with my "new" path.
Bright blessings!

I wasn't raised into any particular religion,but my Dad was a Presbyterian,though we never went to church ever!My Mom was a Methodist but we never went to church too,ever!When i was growing up my Mom joined the Police Church which is non-denominational i went there for a while even got com-firmed there though i have no idea what i did that for.When i was old enough i joined a charismatic church which i really liked,but i don't attend anymore.Now I'm married to a Jehovah's' Witness and i would like to join his church but he has never taken me there,so I've decided to join another charismatic church.
To be honest i wish i was Muslim.Why?Because they are faithful to their religion,look,praying five times a day.It's incredible.

Who cares approximately this crap. I truly have in simple terms the religion of existence. that's the only one it truly is real looking and counts. faith in simple terms fills a void in someone's existence. faith is mans advent to fulfill a decide on of someone's necessity to be different than-able in mans eyes. that's in simple terms a crutch that every physique leans on. If anybody in simple terms may well be uncomplicated & loving there would not be a reason to have a faith in any respect.
