Deism is most definitely religious, and I am disappointed in your for forgetting.

Well,I can only put down ten options.I tried to write down most of the major world religions because those are the ones people would most likely belong to.

It would have been quicker to call yourself a Deist.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

Organized religion is really a business with a hierarchy and a profit margin. All belief systems are based on the original pagan pantheon(except islam which was already influenced by later Judaic sects and christianity). God was originally any power greater than man himself and used to explain surrounding phenomena. So all belief systems are based on science as well, which is why they all became more profound with time or if they didn't evolve -vanished. So I believe there are forces greater than us that are not deities and that due to different angles of looking at things, different perceptions, we can change our world views according to the various stresses and changes in life to achieve varying results. Therefore, I am a chaoist.

I'm agnostic. Mum was raised a Methodist but no longer practices (and neither does my grandmother. The family and the church fell out with one another).

This is especially true of Scientology (I think).

Well, perhaps most of them; not all!

Partially yes this would be the reason; however these religions are even older than science.

I suppose that different perception and point of view can be different thing.

ALL of them. Judaism is a pagan religion. All spirit creatures are elohim with Yahweh being the father god. Sounds pagan to me. YHWH originated in Midian anyway. So yes, Michael and Gabriel are elohim as well - they are messenger or malakh elohim. Elohim is the plural of the akkadian pagan word for power - El. Angels are these fairy unicorn things the christians made up when they refused to translate messenger into english, latin and other languages and kept the greek word for malakh.
