All religious denominations are man-made, whether they belong to Christianity or other! Religions are designed to appease human intellect, personality, and social opinion of what mortal man determines is upright and holy behavior.
The persistent debate between those in legalized religions, has nothing to do with the Lord. They are defending the teachings of their religion, above that of God. This is why each denomination has some truth and some error.
There is ONE God, ONE Faith, and ONE Truth!! Thus, all who follow Christ will have one interpretation and discernment of scripture, revealed by the Holy Spirit.
To answer your question, I am a Child of God, a Christian, who only follows the Lord, and the Holy Spirit is my teacher, guide, and discerner of all. I do not depend upon human constructs, whether social or religious in these matters.

1 Corinthians 2:14 - But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

I am a Taoist. It is a philosophy of though and balance. Taoists look for a balance in all things, the masculine and the feminine, the positive and the negative. two things that when combined make something greater than the sum of its parts. It, of all the religions i have looked at, appealed to me the most. I have read and researched several from Christianity to Wicca to Shamanism, but the Tao felt the most right for me. Religion is too structured and unyielding and most everyone of them have the rock solid belief that they are the only "right" way to believe. The funny thing is the further you get away from the various Christian/Judaism/islam septs the more accepting they become...

none.
I don't need manmade rules and rituals to tell me how to be connected to God. We are here to think for ourselves
Yes I believe that there is more out there, Yes I believe in a Higher spiritual being. No it's not a man/No- If you follow this religion or that religion will God somehow accept or discriminate against you/NO there is no "right" way to believe, No, God is not your personal genie to grant wishes/solve problems when you need help

I don't follow any organized religion. It's not necessary to have religion to be spiritual.

I call myself an agnostic. I know God exists and human beings have something that I would call a soul that exists after the death of the body, but have never been brought up or indoctrinated into a religion.

I am a Pentacostal Chiristian.

I seek truth and knowledge from the word of God. Thru prayer I have relationship. I don't classify myself as religious, as a believer. I believe that God is supreme. I believe on Jesus as the Son, sacrificed so that the Holy Ghost might come unto us.

Wicca. Specifically UEW, http://www.cuew.org I had a religious experience that made me an atheism no longer compatible. It was personal, and for me, so I'm not going to share it.
As for UEW... luck, I guess. They were who I met first. If I'd met other groups first I probably would've written Wicca off entirely.
