would it be possible to believe in god?

Question

without believing in any religions.

Answer 1

Of course. While all religions have portions of truth, there is no one fully correct version. Each one has it's own bias and while they all provide guidance, it's my belief that those that defame the others and glorify their own (especially) those that use a particular clergy to interpret G-D's word FOR YOU instead of helping you interpret G-D's word yourself, are defamatory. G-D is in all things and believes in you, so why not believe in HIM?

Answer 2

Yes it is called The Universe, Universal Consciousness, The Mass Mind, The Supra Conscious, The All One, The All, The Source.

And from Hollywood "Starwars", The Force, or The Matrix

All of these are fitting

All names of God are ways of identifying what 'IS' by the many cultures of the Earth each fitting to the society that believes in that name as the name of God.

Religions are more as rules of practice believed by the men that wrote them to be what should be done.

Anyway many times Religions get in the way of the lessons that the masters had for us to tell us whom we really are.

Answer 3

Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Taoism, Most of the ancient world religion is not a religion like Christian, Judaism, or Islam.
Truly speaking every one in this world who is a seeker of truth and interested in knowing truth in an objective and detached manner is a Hindu, whether he believes in God or not, whether he is a Hindu or a Buddhist or belongs to some other faith. A Hindu is an individual soul who has been separated from God, is under illusion and has been in the process of rejoining God some day. No one need force him to become a Hindu in the physical sense, because one day, in some birth, he will become aware of what he is or who he is. What he does in between is all part of a Divine Play.

Answer 4

You can believe in God without using religion. Religion is a tool to improve spirituality. Religion isn't a guaranteed way to 'salvation'. Religion is meant to help one learn the spiritual lessons needed. Religion isn't meant to be used as a weapon to control or destroy people. Religion & spirituality are not the same thing. You can have one without the other.

Answer 5

as an agnostic, i don't believe in god. but if such proof were there, i would accept it.

but believing in god does not mean that i think he needs to be worshiped. it does not mean god is a bearded figure who watches over us. god could simply be a source of energy, who has no preference to what goes on in the universe.

of course, there are false gods as well, gods we have proven that doen't exist, think greek. and there are those things we tend to almost worship in our daily lives, but are in no way spiritual. money is a god to some people.

as an agnostic, i believe in religion without a god. most religions offer great moral standards to live by. just because people do not live by them 100% does not mean the religion is bad. i look at what a religion teaches, not how the people of the religion act.

Answer 6

I am atheist so there is no way I would ever believe in God.
I do know that some folk need to believe in God, and I see nothing wrong with that at all, just a difference of opinion!
What I actually hate are all religions, they are all sheer exploitation, invented by man to control man, it just beats me why they are accepted?
I think (for what it's worth) that folk who belive in God are looking for some sort of comfort, so some thing is lacking in their reality already? So they find God, or rather the idea is drilled into them from birth?
Then they 'need' like minded friends to congregate with, they then 'need' teachers to let them know that theirs is the only 'true' religion. Etc etc etc!
OK I'm starting to ramble, my answer to your question is yes it would!

Answer 7

Absolutely. When we look at it, Philosophy and spirituality are based upon gaining a closeness" to the mystery of God and the infinite. Religion tries to pack up this mystery into a tight little box, thus removing anything that would resemble to mystery of God. There are actually churches, study groups, and communities that have formed to openly study the mystery of God, while still removing all of the doctrines and dogmas of religion.

"We honor you on your spiritual journey, just the way you are."

Answer 8

I'm not sure.

The Bible teaches that no body can have a relationship with God unless it is through faith in Jesus Christ.

I do believe you can believe and trust in God through faith in Jesus Christ without ascribing to any particular denomination.

I guess it would depend on the definition of religion.

I prefer to say that I have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ and that makes me christian.

I happen to worship God corporately at a Southern Baptist Church and that is completely independent of how or why I am a christian.

So that would that make my religion christianity, and I know you cannot reject Christ while at the same time believing in God.

Answer 9

Sure. Believe it or not, a lot of people believe in God but don't practice any form of religion.

Even some agnostics and athiest believe in a god whether or not they admit it but reject any form of organized religion.

Answer 10

Religion is when you have to something to please God. Salvation is when you put your faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and what He done for you. He did it all. He died for your sins, He was buried and took your sins away and He rose again for your justification. 1 Corinthians 15: 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1 Corinthians 15: 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Romans 4: 25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
