What religion do you have?

MisterEpicurus

Given that census results are due out soon, it'd be interesting to see what religions or lack thereof people support on this forum.

Of course, there are thousands of branches within some religions like Christianity, so it's probably better to group them all together...more or less the same thing when it boils down to it.

Plus, here would be better than A&A or Christianity forum to get a more general opinion.

This thread need not descend into sectarianism, just a vote :-P

Anyway, I'd be ticking the atheist box.

It's not called a church, atheists don't appear to have bad memories such that our beliefs need constant reinforcement every Sunday.

Its not a religion, so there would be no box to tick dude.

You're simply being semantically nit-picky, you know perfectly well what was intended.

I identify as agnostic atheist. I don't believe there's a God but I don't claim to KNOW there is no God :pac:

True - they're not the same. But technically nor are Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. I had to group the similarities together so I didn't have a poll the length of Mars. :rolleyes:

Whatever suits me. Non absolutionist with a belief in non of it.

I suppose slightly humanist if that is a religion, I suppose it kind of is.

Religion causes enough problems without being resurrected in AH over and over and over and over again..

I don't have a problem with you grouping them together. They're related :pac:

In that case you could have had:

- not a god botherer
- Atari jaguar

How does that work now? Do you mean you're culturally protestant, but religiously atheist?

The resurrected has caused a enough problems more than just AH.

I think it was a joke... you know the whole Muslim walking through Belfast when a chaps asks him if he was catholic or protestant and he says "Muslim" but the man says says "yea but catholic Muslim or protestant Muslim"?

Just a little play on words.

I don't believe in god. I fail to see why I should believe in something which I can't see or measure. I would be as well just making up my own god and giving it my own law and guidelines. That way it would be more interesting. The invisible dragon as I call it.

Devoting yourself to religion will probably become a medical complaint in the DSM in future...(...psychiatric section)

I'm was born into a Protestant family but now, I wouldn't class myself as a Protestant as I have no interest or belief in religion.

It actually sounds like the OP needs his non-belief reinforced by other non-believers by sniping & making fun of people who choose to believe in a religion of their choosing.

I hate calling myself an atheist because people try to stick pigeons up me hole.. no, I mean, pigeon-hole me.

I don't like being pigeon holed. So I'm a thingy type who doesn't believe in all the stuff about God and all that.

Go over to the Christianity forum and say that... I dare ya!

Myself, lapsed Catholic really, although belief-wise I'd have a lot in common with the progressive/liberal end of Protestantism. The CD32 was better than the Atari Jaguar by the way.

The Big Red Button

I'm atheist.

I was registering in an A&E department recently, was being asked all the usual questions, such as my address, PPS number, etc, and then she asked, "What's your religion?"

Me: "What? Eh, none."
Her: "Are you sure?"
Me: "Yes ..."
Her: "Sure we'll just put you down as Catholic so."
Me:

Really!? Pretty demented really, if I was to assign an arbitrary religion to someone I could think of something more original than Catholicism.
