Assalamu Alaikum.
This means:
May be peace be with you.
I am a Muslim. I believe in Islam. We believe in the five pillars of Islam: 1) faith in God and testifying to His unity 2) praying 5 times a day 3)fasting during the month of Ramadan 4) charity 5) pilgrimage to Makkah/Hajj.
We believe in the angels (Michael, Gabriel, Israel, Israfil, etc. peace be upon them), the prophets (Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishameal, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, David, Soloman, Job, Moses, Aaron, Jesus, Muhammad, etc. peace be upon them), the books (Psalms, Torah, Gospel, Quran), life after death-- Heaven and Hell.
Our basic belief is:
La Illaha Illa La Muhammadar Rasullah
There is no God but God, and Muhammad PBUH was His last prophet.
Islam means peace.
Islam is a peaceful religion that is tolerant and accepting of all other religions. One of the most amazing characteristics of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was that he was extremely tolerant and kind to people of other faiths. Even his neighbor, who was an old lady (I believe she was a pagan believer) who always threw trash at him--when she was sick, he went and helped her, and even when she was well and threw trash at him, he only replied with compliments.
As you can see, Islam is a very peaceful religion.
Assalamu Alaikum.
May be peace be with you.

Religion:- Religion is a system of beliefs and worships which includes a code of ethics and a philosophy of life. There are many religions in the world today. Some of these religions are of recent origin but most of them are very old. In fact we know from history that man has always had a religion. Even the primitive men living in caves or jungles had some sort of religion. The concepts and rituals in man's religion have CONTINUALLY evolved and become more rational and sophisticated as time went on. The primitive religions of the Cave Man and the Bush Man gave rise to the modern religions of the past three thousand years. Today, the major religions of the world include: World Religion ----- Originated in Zoroastrianism ----- Iran Confucianism ----- China Hinduism ------ India Taoism ------ China Jainism ------ India Judaism ------ Neat East Christianity ------ Near East Islam ------ Near East Buddhism ------- India Shinto ------- Japan These are the great religions of the world which are not only responsible for all our accumulated wealth of wisdom, philosophy, ethics, and social and moral codes, but have influenced the culture, the language and the moral attitudes of almost every PERSON living today. Difference between Religious and Non Religious Peoples. 1. The religious people believe in something while the others do not. 2. The religious people perform certain acts of worship while the others do not. 3. The religious people seem to follow a certain code for their social and moral behaviour while the others do not. 4. The religious people find a purpose of life and have a definite philosophy towards it, while the others do not.

I believe in the religion that Jesus ,Moses,Abraham, Adam, and all the prophets taught.. Oneness of God, Peace, 10 commandments, morality, kindness, charity, fairness and generosity to others, Prayer and devotion to God. Love life to the fullest but in a moral way.. The name of this religion is Peace.. in arabic Peace is "Islam" . Mohammed cleared all this up for us...

After many trials and errors I realize that God/Goddess is outside any religious boundaries therefore I don’t have any religion besides Truth and Spirit.

It is Gaudiya Vaishnavism coming in the line of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, this is called Brama madhva gaudiya sampradaya.
This was made famous in the world, by Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaj, AKA Srila Prabhupada. (now Hare Krishna is practically a household word)
Today there are also many branches of Gaudiya vaisnavas as well.
We believe that God Has both personal and impersonal aspects, He is everywhere, yet He also has Has a spiritually perfect body as well. (we do not limit God)
He has innumerable names and expansions to match his innumerable moods and pastimes. but, His original form is Sri Krsna, the taster of ALL moods and all love. This is also His most humanlike and sweetest form.
This material world is like a correctional facility, where any soul goes who uses his independence to try to serve himself, and all who come here, become illusioned to think that this is my body, this is my house, this is my country, my beloved etc., even though it is simply dead matter that we are familiar with in this world. (we actually are not familiar with anyone's soul- jivaatma, even our own)
Slowly after millions of births of evolution,(going through all species of life) and by mercy of God we realize that this type of enjoyment is futile, and we search for something more...
and when we begin searching and praying with sincerity the spiritual quest begins, wherein any religion can play role in the many lifetimes that we go through of our spiritual journey.
therefore we respect all true religions for we know that they are also helping with the journey of the soul to finding love of God.
we make available the teachings of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu to all, and those who take to it do so because they have sufficiently evolved to understand this intrinsic and beautiful philosophy and way of life.
Our goal is to realize who we are, developing our dormant souls, and ultimately, our love for God.
And the best way to do this is by absorbing oneself in hearing of the glories and pastimes of God from purified souls, and to sing or tell of the glories and pastimes of God, in a mood of devotion.

Hare Krishna
(our understanding is that God is one and He has many names, Krishna being one main name. Jehova, Allah, Rama, Isa, Kane and Govinda are all names of God as well)
People all worship God according to their personal propensity
