of course to both. although it seldom seems to make much difference.

Can you clarify?
One might suggest that your defination of "Believers" is one who follows your interpration of your faith (whatever it may be). If you ask any sprititual person (even non-X-ians) what they believe, you may not get the answer you're after.
I believe the use of Deities are mental tools to help one concentrate to manuplicate the energy/"Force" (if you may), which is accessed through Rituals of any form. This does not mean that Dieties do or do not exist. After all Humans made Gods in their own image. It's the strength of the identity that makes the mental tools work.

I am a Christian. I have not always gone to church, in fact between the years of when I was about 20 to 35, I didn't go to church at all. However, I have never doubted there was a God, I have never not felt His presence.

I do not believe in false Gods..
Like the Christian God and Allah..
I believe the Universe is feminine...
Thus I believe in a Goddess and her consort the God..
Aka, the Lady and the Lord...
Love and Light.. BB... )O(

"And Non believers have you ever wondered... What if their is a God????? "
Of course I have. :) It is precisely that question that made me arrive at the conclusion that "no god" is the most logical choice.
If by what if you mean "what if, when I die, I was wrong?".. well, I have thought of that too. And my answer is.. I will live life for life, and not concern myself with what if's when I am dead. If I am wrong, and a god chooses to punish me for nothing more than not thinking his existence was likely.. oh well :)

Totally! (for both questions!) I was a strong believer, then suddenly i was hit with doubt. Then God revealed to me so much and I found Him again!

I have never doubted God exists!
I have gotten mad at Him,but always turned back to Him,because He has worked too much good in my life.
We have to accept that He does things when He is ready,not because we want Him to at the moment.

I'm an ex-Christian atheist.
And for those Christians who consider that I couldn't have been a proper Christian, I would have agreed with you theologically while I was a Christian, too.
Except by any measure, I was one, and was sure I was.
So confident belief at any point is not security.

I used to be a Christian now I'm an atheist. I've been from one to the other extreme. I'm quite confident in what I believe.

Do you mean Non Believers as in you don't believe in the Christian God or Non Believers as in you dont believe in any god. Your statements imply the first one and also imply that if you dont believe in the Christian God, you dont believe in any god, which is of course false.
I believe there is a God and Goddess.
