Your religious affiliation, or lack thereof, and why?

[Othelos]

So, NSG, what is your religious affiliation (or lack thereof), and why?

Personally, I'm an agnostic atheist. I used to be an evangelical Christian, but I left because of the church's views on lgbt rights & related issues (also ken ham & YEC). I briefly looked for a different denomination, but then realized that I don't really believe in god, and I have zero motivation to be religious or participate in rituals, like attending church or praying. If there actually is a heaven, I think I'm a good enough of a person to get in.

So, what do you believe, or not believe, and why? Do you think society would be better off if everyone held the same beliefs as you? Pls explain

*****also remember that 'not religious' isn't necessarily atheism*****

More poll options. You're discounting like, 2 billion people in that poll.

[The Orson Empire]

I am a Protestant Christian. However, I am not a fundamentalist.

Not really. The majority of people in the world are Christian/Jewish/Muslim/non-religious. And I put an 'other' option.

[Sun Wukong]

Most nearly Buddhist. The core proposal of Buddhism: that suffering is linked to desire, is very nearly indisputable. Me and the Buddha just have a slight disagreement as to what should be done with that fact.

Yes, but just a bit less than 2 billion are Hindu or Buddhist. Both of which are groups far larger and far more important than the Jews.

There are more Hindus then Jews. And Christians get multiple categories. I agree that the Poll is essentially fucked.

Danke.

As of now, I'm neither a theist nor an atheist.

If anything, I'd choose to have my own "pantheon" to believe in.

I gave Christians more options, because that's the largest religion of NS users, so I wanted to break it down a little.

Actually, I suspect non-religious is the largest category.

I get dibs on King of the gods.

Non-religious ain't a religion

[The Orson Empire]

OP, as to answer your second question, I do not believe in forcing my religions beliefs on others, so I don't really have an answer to that.

[Emerald-Springs]

Are you aware that the Church teaches that neither testament is to be interpeted literally?

Yes, I just like the idea of a son of God

The Catholic Church teaches this?

Interesting. It seems that Protestant fundamentalists teach the opposite.
