I'm a naturalistic pantheist which means that "I believe in God/dess but spell it N-A-T-U-R-E." It is sort of like a nontheistic and rational "pagan". It's paganism for the 21st century and is even more earth-centered than "mainstream" paganism which focuses on magic. It is very eco-centered and Green in focus.
Knowing of the interdependence of nature (food cycle, etc.) as well as the interdependence of actions (ancestors' past actions affect my current circumstances and my actions will affect the circumstances of my descendents) fills me with a sense of gratefulness which I demonstrate both through my actions as well as concrete actions of respect and honor.
We celebrate the solstices and equinoxes. Some of us even do rituals - for myself I have developed offeratory rituals to honor Nature and the ancestors, Sacred Meal ritual, and chanting and meditation practices. These are available in the files section of the public pantheist groups here on Yahoo and on Beliefnet.

I am agnostic too - I don't believe in pidgeon-holing myself. I tried that before and every organized religion gets something wrong sooner or later. Of course, I always get accused of being the accursed fence-sitter, which is fine by me. The fence is a good place to be, you can't get a better view of the sheep from up here. :D

I would say that I'm Christian, but am still on a spiritual path, learning from other great teachers as well. I would say that my religion is love.

I am a member of The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints.
N.B. See the name JESUS CHRIST in our name, that indicates that we worship HIM, not Joseph Smith and therefore are we ARE Christians!
