Michael - Do you ever have a "christmas" tree in your home, or have you ever painted an "easter" egg?

Hmmm ... interesting question.
I'm a Christian, and my father is Pagan. Although he didn't raise me into his religion (both of my parents always gave me free reign to decide for myself), I got a strong love and reverence for nature from their influence. And I've always felt closer to the divine when I'm outside, enjoying the beauty of the world around me. I wish church was held outside.
I guess I'd have to say I'm at least a 3.

I would probably fall at about 8 or 9 as I have been walking this path for about 20 years, but can not claim to have no other influences, as I am now 46 and so had 26 years of life to be influenced only by other beliefs, as I had not found my path then. Good question :)

Honestly I would have to say about a 6 or 7 because although asatru (norse paganism) is my main path I also practice a form of budhism --- it compliments what I do as far as the meditations the focusing of energies and what not.... Some ppl don't agree with this at all but it is my choice and my path.......

I'd have to say I'm around 6-7ish. I was raised Catholic, and live in a highly Catholic area, so I still have many of those influences and objects (like my grandmother's Virgin Mary statue and the crucifix from my mother's funeral) around me.
Plus, while I'm not a Christian any longer, I do have a deep respect for the man Jesus of Nazareth and many of his teachings. The golden rule, turn the other cheek, etc.

I'd say about 5 there are quite a lot of other influences in my spiritual life. Among them are yoga, meditation, dance, Vedanta and I have learned things from Sufi and Buddhist friends and a lot from brain research and physics and a lot from various self development practices. I suppose I'm cheerfully eclectic.

Be hard to gage.
I've done some "how pagan are you" tests, which suggested I was 85% Buddhist, 83% Pagan & 75% Muslim.
So I dread to guess where I'd rate. I'd guess maybe 6

I'd say 7. I practice my beliefs, I don't let the practice me if that makes any sense. That and 7 is the best number ever.
