none what so ever
I'm far more level headed and realistic to feel the need to grasp onto something that has not been proven to exist
but that's just me :)

Yes, especially since I was raised in a devoutly religious home. There wasn't a moment of my childhood that didn't have serious religious overtones. I was taught to kneel and pray as soon as I was old enough to do so, and was taken to church frequently. My parents tied medals and relics of saints to my crib, and later to my bed. Religion was a part of everything I did. But I liked going to church as a child, and I liked my religion. I'm still a member of it today. The only difference is that I've had time to research many other beliefs, which I'm still doing. I'm a member of my religion by conscious choice, and not just by upbringing. Religion has always played a large role in my life.

It used to, but not any more!
I do believe it made me the person I am today, it is part of my history, that cannot change. But I no longer need religion in my life now!

Yes it does, in a quiet way. The ten commandments are a great structure for a good society. If everyone followed them we would have no wars, no crime, no adultery, no abortion etc etc. We would in fact be living in utopia.
Church, God's House, is a lovely place to visit. You can talk things through with the person who loves you most, God.
I love being a Christian, it makes my choices in life easy and enhances my life.

Its a tricky question, see i dont pray or go to church, chapel or any other holy or sacred place, but i am married, which i think is a religious thing, (although these days almost anyone can marry you) or at least it started off as religious. There is also a lot of my Morals which were taught to me at school usually during some sort of religious service. which i suppose came from religion, however i dont believe in GOD or GODS or any devine being who created us or is in charge of our destiny.
So in a way yes, but no, if you see what i mean.

As an occultist I have a very rich spiritual life and I am engaged in the service to all mankind which I find very rewarding and gives me a reason to get up in the morning and to make something of myself.I wish the same for all of you.

Yes when I want to hit someone or someone really ticks me off I think love thy neighbour and try not to hold grudges, if everyone followed 10 commandments the world would be great!

Yep a huge part. Pray several times a day to sort out my problems.

None - although I am frequently harassed by religious types who think it is ok to knock on my door and try to sell me their particular brand of religious tripe.
