Put me down for Unitarian Universalist. Although the Quakers might be tempting.

Hmmm maybe we'd see eye to eye then. I'm somewhat a Unitarian, and I liked the old Quakers, I can't say as much about the modern ones though.

The less dogmatic, the better. Unitarian Universalism is fine, but that is not Christianity. I once made the Belief-o-Matic test (I give the link) and the result was that my beliefs match Unitarian Universalism 98 % and they match the liberal Quakers 87 %. Quakers are nice, I'd choose Quakers if it had to be somehow Christian.

I'm a sixth generation Universalist (now Unitarian Universalist). Our historical roots mean I wouldn't have to change, so I'd stay where I am.

terrible conditional premise for starters. Christianity, like different religions, is in accordance with a concept device based by others hundreds of years in the past. in case you could not purchase-in to those common tenants (jesus born to a virgin mom, a god that could desire to proudly see his in undemanding terms newborn killed), then do not look for a watery form of allegiance - what's the element? Agnosticism is in all probability a extra gentle path. At very least opt for a "sect" it is least stressful. stable luck!

I'm not sure if you are asking non-believers in any deity (atheist) or non-believers in Christianity.

Any way, if I HAD to change religions to a Christian religion, I like the Amish or Mennonites. I like their tight communities and simple way of life. For them, their religion isn't a separate part of their life but intertwined with it to the point where it is their life. I respect that. I still can't imagine worshiping only one deity, but this is a hypothetical and that's the best I can do. My mother was a Mennonite and my mother-in-law was Amish. In general, I like their families' values, ethical systems, and ways of life.

YOu know monopoly was stolen from the quakers? Random fact, but true. Kind of ironic how a game about capitalization was stolen from them and some one else capitilized on it because their efficacy's.

I'd probably start my own. I am not aware of a single version of christianity that appeals to me. Most of them make stuff up for bizarre reasons. Mine would be a strictly "be like jesus" bunch. We'd be broke hippies dressed in rags, but smart dreamers. They'd probably crucify me.

Pentecostal because I'm a risk-taker...drinking cyanide and doing some crazy dance while taunting a venomous snake would be a milestone for me, lol!

Unitarian Univeralists aren't necessarily Christian. You can be a Christian and be UU, or you can be something else and be UU also. Like me.

One can't MAKE themselves believe in something - even when forced. I can't make myself believe in a god, unicorns, dragons, fairies, etc. I just don't believe. I'm in the default position. I could go to Christian churches, I could pray, I could do all sorts of typical Christian things... that won't make me a believer in a god (the Christian god in this case) so I could never become a "true" Christian (believer).

It's like... I can stand in a garage but that won't make me a car. Same thing really.
