My religion is usually defined as Wicca, although it's really a personally-constructed spiritual pathway that defies description. I worship many gods and goddesses, not just one. The main advantage is that where there are contradictory characteristics, I can assign them to two different gods, or to a god and a goddess, and not have to worry about trying to fit them all into one.
But then, I recognize the gods and goddesses as symbols, metaphors, representing a reality that is too abstract and esoteric for ordinary human use. I don't worship my statue of Isis, but I use it to represent the aspect of reality which is represented by the Goddess Isis. The difference is somewhat hard to explain unless I give you a long lesson in metaphysics.

I am religion-free and god-free.
Nobody can prove any gods, much less a specific god, exist; many people will tell you their god exists but no others, but will never be able to prove it, even if they think so. Some will threaten you with eternal pain or promise eternal joy to get you to believe in their god; these are all stories, created for people who were scared long before we understood the universe. Now we have no more reason for these superstitions.
How terrible the bible in particular is:

Spiritualist
we believe in life after death proven through spirit communications
and yes we do believe in a God energy , although it is more of a respect for that energy than a worship

I am Wiccan, I do not worship the Judeo-Christian God. I do not worship any Gods, as the word worship means to love unquestioningly and uncritically or to excess, because I have questions, and I do not wish to do it in excess. I feel more in-tune with the Universe.

Not that religious, don't worship any one or thing , God and I have a unique understanding. I try to mind my business and do good to others as he or she would want. I have yet to meet a real Christian who follows Christ teachings in every way. I know I don't but I am not even pretending that I do.

I was raised baptist, then God sent me a Siddha Yoga Saint that baptized me in spirit(there are many such Saints now). his name is Swami Muktananda Paramahamsa. Jesus was a Siddha Yoga Guru. They both teach the same truth. Use the same practices. Closet yourself to pray. (enter your heart)
Worship God in spirit & in truth. (Unconditional Love)."God dwells within you as you". (The kingdom of Gopd is in you)Pray unceasingly(do mantra repetition) Remamber God (meditate on God). Do I worship God? I don't know, I do try to live in full time communion with Him.

You cant believe because Satan is telling you lies.
I do believe and if you pray to God asking him to prove himself to you... im sure you will become a believer in no time!
Proud Christian.
I saw God and he is good.

My religion is knitting. I don't have a god, per se, but I do knit a lot as a worship activity.
It produces serenity, great sweaters and lots of friends!
