What would you call yourself? I think religion is whats caused many problems in my life, but i do however believe in one God. What do i tell people when they ask me about my faith? They usually just assume i'm atheist.

I'd say you are in limbo between truth and error. You have a decision to make somewhere along the line.
Since you say you have already sailed the ship "Christianity" and jumped ship for whatever reason, you are lost according to the scriptures so it won't matter what religion you follow or if you follow none at all because you will suffer the same fate reserved for all who reject Christ according to the scriptures.
I know this is not an answer you want to hear, but I believe that a person who genuinely cares about you will tell you the truth whether you want to hear it or not. Everyone else who tells you just what you want to hear or what they hope you will believe is not your friend and cares only for their own opinion.

Bella, how do you chose which religion is "right"? There are probably 100's of different ones! Religion is man-made, the belief in God is not related to whether you are Amish and wear black and don't drive cars, or Catholic and pray on a prayer bench, or Muslim and bow down 5 times a day. Those are just human-made devotions that have NOTHING to do with God's will. Anyone who says otherwise knows nothing of God, they just like "customs" which they are familiar with and make them comfortable. God could care less whether you wear black, or go nude.
Personally I think most religions are bunk, designed for the comfort of the people, not for proper worship. One reason I've quit going to any church, I've found none which appeals to me. I can worship and praise God from home, I don't need a building with pews, prayer rugs, or any other artificial contrivance. I call myself Unburdened. Churches are more for socializing, from my experience, not learning God's will, although that's taught, it's more for the human contact. All well and good, but doesn't do anything for me.

I know how you feel......I believe in God but not in religion. I feel the same way, that religion has cause alot of problems (in the world). When I tell people I am not a Christian, they say "You don't believe in God!!!!" AARRGH!...I wish people could think a little before speaking!
Now I just smile wait a second or two and calmly explain myself............I am just like you, I want a relation with God, I just left out the middleman!......good luck

Well, I am a spirit-filled believer, don't believe in any religion and do not relate to religion or the categorizing of myself into a denomination either.
I recommend that you call yourself a believer of the faith if you've had an experience with the LORD?
Peace,
Hope

I think that is very valid point that is how I feel and I don't think you have to go to church I went all my childhood and there were more self righteous hypocrites in there on Sunday than anywhere else.
I believe that if you listen to your conscience and heart on how you treat your fellowman it doesn't matter if you are part of a religion or not.
Also if People want go to church to make themselves feel better I am not against that because a lot of good can come from it but just because you don't go it doesn't make you a bad person and mean you will burn in hell.

DEIST.
The religious people are ignorant . God is not the anthropomorphic God they describe. It is infinite consciousness, it does not punish anyone with hell torment. THAT IS A MAN MADE CONCEPT.
If people would get rid of religion, and just feel God in their heart, the world would be a much better place. Maybe one day.
PEACE.

Are you searching for something to have faith in? no person can inform you that. do a sprint learn an come to a determination what you like. In honesty, after learning you will in all probability discover that each physique faith is surely fairytale, chinese language whispers and a sprint bs thrown in for good diploma. in case you think, as I do, that the vast bang got here approximately (no longer particularly like minded with heaven, via ways) and want something to stay with attempt looking into Humanism. no longer particularly a concept/faith yet an incredible way of thinking/dwelling.

I feel pretty much the same way. I don't believe in organized religion but have a strong faith. That's all you have to tell anyone, if it is their business. That you have your faith!

Most people I know in that case call themselves spiritual, meaning they have spiritual experiences but certainly do not believe any of the garbage commercialized as religion.

I'd just call you a person that thinks for themself and I'd like to be considered the same. Labels serve more to divide people than to unite them.
