I lost count on how many I have studied and am still studying religions. I don't follow any and don't intend to.

I was raised Christian and studied many religions in Theology. I decided that Christianity was not for me. I am polytheistic with origins from several different religions.
I am "Wiccan" with my own twist on things. Wicca spoke more to me because you can follow your heart more so than any other religion. I can believe what I want to believe and no one says I am bad for believing in reincarnation or that every living thing has a spirit or that we should honor the earth. Basically to me Wicca is about being able to be myself without anyone else telling me what I believe is right or wrong.

I was brought up to follow the religion I am however have studied other religions. After having looked at Christianity, Hinduism, Wicca as well some others I found my own to be most fitting.

I'm not generally in the habit of studying existing religions.
I will study the beliefs of individual people on occasion, though usually only for critical reasons. I prefer what I believe to be unrooted from the beliefs of others and the ways of social stigma.
That said... I did study Buddhism for a while.
I found it was a bit too passive for my liking. While I agree with many aspects of Theravada Buddhist belief, I am far too chaotic and sporadically hostile to be a proper Buddhist.
Their search for Enlightenment is much akin to my search for Resolution before the Nihil ..... but we tend to go about finding it in drastically different ways: They find it by physical isolation and meditation, while I find it by immersion and forced disconnection under pressure.

I've studied too many to count, though I will confess that some I did not study thoroughly because they lost me from the beginning.
I am a Christian, but I definitely have some 'different' beliefs for a Christian.
I can not say which Christian denomination fits me because most are polytheists (with the belief in the Trinity) which I am not.

i was born a muslim then rebelled against it while growing up studying the other two abrahamic faiths christianity and judaism very extensively then studied islam instead of the cultural rubbish i was bought up with

Hinduism, Sikhism, Judaism, Buddhism and Christianity. (My local library didn't have any books on Islam when I was growing up.) Also studied Greek\Roman, Egyptian and the Norse religions, but without any intent to consider them as my religion. I've studied Islam and the Quran relatively recently, but feel that it is not a religion I would ever wish to follow.
I chose Christianity, without any parental or social pressure involved.

no from when I popped out I way put on the road of RC all schooling and college - escape the uni but still follow it to some degree.
When growing up I had to go to all types of churches and got to say I m happy being RC simply because religion seems to be like a competition where it seems to be acceptable to judge others
I like to keep an open-mind and talk to anyone regardless of what their religion its their principles and ethics that I consider first
