This has been asked OFTEN, but what is your religion?

Question

I want to see if there are more non-believers than believers here on R&S

Answer 1

I am a Christian.

Answer 2

Norse Folktru Reconstructionist Heathen.

I've been using that here a lot; guess I should explain.

Norse: I worship the gods and goddesses of my Normannii ancestors---the "Viking" pantheon, Scandinavian mythology, take your pick.

Folktru: There is a wide body of folk custom and lore which has persisted in places like Iceland and Norway into the present day. Post-Conversion, the public worship of the Regin gradually ceased, usually under coercion, but the day-to-day aspects of the belief system did not. Even now, for example, Maypoles are raised, Mitsommer bonfires are set ablaze, a bowl of porridge is left out for the Nisse at Yule, an offering is made to the Bryggjemann when brewing ale or mead . . . I research, adapt, and keep these customs, bringing the Elder Kin back into their observance as I do.

Reconstructionist: This refers to recreating, with as great a degree of historical accuracy as possible, the ancient Tides, customs, and beliefs, and the underlying worldview from which they sprang, rather than adapting, for instance, "Norse window dressing" to a Wiccan or neopagan ritual structure and calendar.

Heathen: "hard" polytheistic (belief in literal gods and goddesses) ethnic (culturally specific) folk religion derived from the ancient, pre-xian beliefs of Northern Europe.

Answer 3

At least you admit to repeating a question, rather than passing the same tired rhetoric off as original thought. Kudos to you for that.

I define myself as agnostic. I do NOT believe in any supreme deity (as Christians define agnostics), nor can I swallow the black & white nihilism of atheists. I accept that the universe is impermanent (Buddhism), try to flow through life instead of being stuck in it (Taoism), and continually strive to learn and do what makes me happy as long as it doesn't harm anyone else (Wicca).

One person cannot contain all the knowledge of the past, and so logically cannot understand the infinite possibilities of the future. What I do know is that I am not finished with all I wish to do in this lifetime, and professing anything beyond it would only be pure speculation and only waste valuable time anyway.

Answer 4

I don't think you will get an accurate measure of believers to non believers with this question but good luck.

I am a polytheist that gives honor to the pre-christian gods of the Irish Celts, my ancestors, and the spirits of Sky, Land, and Sea. I call my path Sean Ski (pronounced Shan hlee)

Answer 5

I am a Christian and my denomination is NON-denominational. I grew up a Baptist and was ruled by the traditional Baptist government. After I began to study the Word and attended some classes that was guided by the Word movement(Kenneth Hagin, Tulsa, OK) - I am now a part of a church that believes in the Word of God and not so much the 'traditional' titles of Baptist, Methodist, etc. I believe that Love is everything.

Answer 6

Celtic Reconstructionist

Answer 7

I think there is a God but I do not believe in a religion. You find me one about love and not dogma and I will check it out.

Answer 8

Buddhist

Answer 9

I see no evidence of a God, messiah, holy spirit, or any supernatural force. Call it what you will.

Atheist. Skeptic. Freethinker. Humanist. Bright. Rationalist. Naturalist.

Answer 10

I like to be blatant and call myself a True Believer.

Answer 11

Devout Roman Catholic
