I wasnt bought up christian but wasnt made to believe there wasnt a god. i had associations with the salvation army when younger and was baptised with one religion. i now follow the salvation army views in a sense and somewhere deep inside simply feel there is a god but people who worship god and speak of him in every day conversation annoy me! is this just my belief system and everyone cherishes god in a different way than others? what religion am i if i don't go to church, pray sometimes for assistance and for the people close to me who i love, am interested in learning about the bible and have read some of it and just generally believe there is a god watching over us, assisting us with our life paths and feel in my heart he is there

Religion is for people who want to belive in god and require a ritualistic approach in life. By this I mean that they feel they are close to god if they go to church or a mosque or a temple. They take part in rituals unique to their own religions.

If you can remember god once a day and go about earning an honest living, you have achieved as much as any saint would have.

God is there and he does not need any one to prove his presence.

Hmm...hard to say. I think the best term to describe yourself is Agnostic Theist. That's a person who doesn't really put attributes on God (like where s/he lives, what s/he looks like, etc...) but still believes.

You might want to check out Hinduism or Buddhism -- both have very interesting conceptions of god that may be more along the lines of what you're looking for.

Or don't -- there's nothing wrong with just believing and praying to the God you feel is right. A lot of organized religions can really muck up an idea of God because of corruption or other pressures from within.

1. Allah (SWT) 'God' is only 'One', has no partner or son, and neither gives birth, nor is He born. He is eternally besought by all and has no beginning or end, and none is equal to Him (Holy Quran example)
2. He is the Merciful and the Compassionate, the Guardian and the True Guide, the Just and the Supreme Lord, the Creator and the Watchful, the First and the Last, the Knowing and the Wise, the Hearing, and the Aware, the Witness and the Glorious, the Able and ' the Powerful. (Holy Quran example).
3. He is the Loving and the Provider, the Generous and the Benevolent, the Rich and the Independent, the Forgiving and the Clement, the Patient and the Appreciative, the Unique and the Protector, the Judge and the Peace. (Holy Quran example). The question of Allah's (SWT) 'God' existence has preoccupied men's minds for many centuries. Those who believe in Allah (SWT) 'God' seem to agree that the limited finite human intelligence cannot prove the existence of the infinite boundless of Allah (SWT) 'God'. It can only illustrate or demonstrate his existence to the satisfaction of the curious human mind.
Those who deny Allah's (SWT) 'God' claim to rely on science, philosophy, or special theories of knowledge. Their arguments are sometimes inapplicable, sometimes irrelevant, always complex, and often incomprehensible. However, the developed mind will find its way to Allah (SWT) 'God'. Failure to find the way does not mean that there is no way. Denial of reality does not make it unreal.

No need for any distinct label. Do not worry about others methodology in seeking God. Every body is unique. Routes need not be the same. Enough if you have got faith and belief in God., That will lead you silently. nagarajan.

You don't seem to belong to a religion, though I think technically if you believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ, you're Christian to a degree.

Believing in God is the only religion.

There is no religion as " My religion".

So you are on the track. I belong to your religion.

Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
