Yes, my beliefs have See my profile. I am now Wicca and doubt if they will changed again. I was searching for bible truth early on and found people who believed and followed the bible, but amazing enough my belief changed was due to bible reading. I could no Long believe but it is a long drawn out story.

I went through phases as I grew up. I grew up trying to be Christian but then I started to study different religions. The history of how the religious establishment were formed and debated. How it was shaped etc....
So now I'm anti-religion. Religion to me is a process, a step to reach a point where you can find justice, satisfaction, happiness, peace, a way to try to live up to the high standards or whatever the religion claims to be the high standard, the perfect standard.
For me, religion is a tool for such growth. Yet at the same time, religion has been under the names of some of the most outrageous violence and hatred.
I have faith, but not in religion.

I was raised a Lutheran my father became a Methodist minister when I was a teen but that was about the time I began to learn more on my own and now I'm very happily an agnostic. It was handy to have some of my father's seminary books to read really helped me see my way clear of religion.

Hi, I think you can be religious about many things. I'm sure you have heard I'm a Christian, it's a relationship, not religion. This is true, but even with that said, my own relationship with Christ changes me. I was raised Lutheran. I now go to a foursquare church. I think God can be with any church. There is beauty in each denomination. I am much more understanding then I use to be. Why? Because Christ in me changes me for the better.

I was raised Roman Catholic but ever sine I was about 8 I thought that he whole Idea was silly.
I remember asking my mom this one time...
"God is all powerful right?"
"Yes dear"
"Well I bet than an Alien God is even stronger."
"No honey it doesn't work like that."
Now I have removed my self from religion, although I do believe the bible has universial truths (which it didn't invent by the way). I am an Anti-theist.

I am my own religion. I believe what I believe, and worhip in my own ways, on my own terms, when I feel like it. Yes, my views are constantly in flux, as I am always growing and changing myself. I was raised Catholic, and now I practice a combo of Catholicism and Voodoo. I also practice hoodoo. I pray to the saints for help, as opposed to God who is too busy. I am sure that over time, "my" religion will continue to expand and change - as it should.

Taoist. My beliefs have 'evolved' in that they have developed to the point where the term 'Taoist' seems to describe them better than, say 'Zen Buddhist'. Which is where I 'was' a couple of years ago.
Or perhaps my beliefs haven't really changed, it's just I have a better understanding of them. Maybe it's all just semantics. I don't know if it's that important really. Nor whether that really helps you. Sorry!

Atheist. I was baptized Catholic, never went to mass. My mom is what I would call a spiritualist--just a bunch of random beliefs and that was what I grew up with.
I tried Catholicism in college and it didn't work out; if anything, it pushed me away.
Went atheist and don't plan on going back to theism. I believe in karma, that's about it.

I'm a Christian. I've only been a Christian for a little under nine months. Before that, I was a non-religious theist who was missing Wicca and studying Buddhism. Before that, I was Wiccan for almost six years. Before that, I was an atheist. Before that, I was a skeptic for eight years. And prior to that, I was too young to be skeptical.

Christian-if you need denomination-Seventh-day Adventist. I was a unsatisfied Baptist for 18 years, then I spent four years in college worshiping the great god of the porcelain throne, then became SDA and have been ever since.
