Religion: I used to be a catholic up until about 8-10 years ago, then lost all interest in it (barely had any, anyway) because i saw it as a waste of time and a burden more than anything. Been a happy atheist ever since.

Politics: Fairly left wing, Socialist is probably the best term to describe me, though i also class myself as a bit of a nationalist too since i come from the Nationalist community here in Northern Ireland, but lean more towards the "Other" camp, preferring to vote for non aligned parties such as the Alliance Party (liberal) and People Before Profit (far left)

Yup they do, they have one MLA (Member of the Legislative Assembly and used to have 2) and about 5-6 councillors. They have been active here for a good while but only started picking up traction in the last 4 or so years.

Forgot to post in this thread so I'll do it now.

In religion, I don't think I am too willing to tell too much but I'll have you know I'm quite a bit more religious than irreligious people are.

In terms of politics, there are three points that make up my politics. These are the following:

I'm an advocate of regulated free markets. Free markets are efficient, promote economic growth and improve the lives of everyone and speeds up innovation in production. I believe that competition in free markets encourages innovation and encourages those participating in the economy to constantly improve to maintain their competitiveness which in turn leads them to improve the lives of people in society. However, I also believe that the markets have problems, such as monopolies which disrupts competition and discourages innovation in the winning side of the monopoly, corporations unethically exploiting things to make money such as overworking and underpaying workers, destroying the environment and breaching the rights and liberties of people. These problems among others are also why I support the markets to be regulated. I support antitrust laws and other laws to prevent monopolies, regulations to prevent companies from breaking the rights of people as well as environmental regulations, which brings me to my next point.

I am an advocate of environmentalism. We must protect the environment, adapt where we can and must and fix as much as we can. Like it or not we are heavily dependent on our planet and we must protect the beating heart of nature if we want to ensure our survival. Sure, we can still farm, clear up land and build cities for our needs, but we must transition to more eco-friendly forms of doing such things and make our activity on the planet more eco-friendly. With technology, we are able to make our practices clean, transition to green electricity and if possible, reverse the effects of climate change.

My third and final point is individual liberty and individualism. I believe that all humans are entitled to freedoms and liberties such as freedom of expression, the right to live, freedom from exploitation and more. I see these rights as paramount to a civil society, without them, humans could be exploited, killed and suppressed simply for having a different opinion. And in addition, we must respect the individual independence of individuals. All humans are their own individuals and not a unit in a collective and are seperate from each other as individuals. An individual, unless otherwise stated, speaks for itself and must be judged separately from others and is its own entity in society and should not be viewed as units of collectives as that violates their liberties of being free and independent.

Religion: I'm mostly agnostic. I know for certain that monotheism is illogical and irrational but that's as far as my "certainty" goes. I can not be sure if superhuman deities can or cannot exist, I just know that if they do, they necessarily have to be plural. Other than that, I am generally tolerant of believers, but not a fan of most monotheistic beliefs. Islam in particular -due to personal reasons which some of you guys might know- is the main target of my ire.

Politics: I would like to say I identify as a person inclined towards a state with a healthy combination of personal liberties, civil rights, political freedoms, and a strong welfare state. I'd say I'm more supportive of constitutional monarchies than I am of constitutional republics. I oppose all forms of theocracy and all forms of non-constitutional states on principle (any form of absolute monarchy, non-democratic republic, et al).
In republics, I prefer Directorial republics to other forms thereof (because presidential is stupid and parliamentary isn't designed for republicanism), while in monarchies, I prefer crowned republicanism with a monarch that is active in governance but lacks executive power (like Kgd. Netherlands under King Willem-Alexander, for example).
On a broader sense, I'm an avowed and open interventionist (both economically and in foreign affairs). I believe temporary military coalitions organized by the UN should be active to remove all non-democratic states and implement a healthy democracy on each and every one of them. I believe in environmentalism but only as long as my personal life is in no way bothered (i.e. limiting what I eat or telling me how I live is a big no-no, but dismantle all petrol companies tomorrow, I'll support it provided I'll continue to have my electricity, etc.)

Religion: Agnostic
Political beliefs:
-I believe that the system of capitalism in which companies are run largely by their CEO's in a relatively unregulated market is inherently unfair, and to overcome this I support trade unions and co-operatives with the goal of giving the workers at companies more power over their workplaces, as well as close regulation of the market by the government.
-I believe that democracy and popular sovereignty are the foundations any state should be based on, and I think that democracy should be participatory and inclusive in order to make the best decisions for the community.
-I strongly believe in environmentalism and taking action to prevent climate change: I support a switch to renewable energy, a reduction in consumption of red meat and better funded public transportation, amongst other things, to try and achieve this.
-I believe strongly in civil liberties and strongly support feminism, LGBT+ rights, racial equality and accessibility for disabled people in order to make society more free and equal.
So run of the mill democratic socialism for the most part.

i believe in the unknown being unknown, which does not prevent anything from existing, but owes nothing to what people tell each other.
i also believe in goodness and the desire to be feared being absolute binary opposites, so sorry christianity, no matter how cool your christ was otherwise.
(which of course also goes for islam and judaism and most large followings that are mainstream anywhere)

my politics is that governments owe their subjects justification for their existence as governments, that otherwise they have no good reason to exist.
not some people, not to the richest alone, not to the poorest alone, but to everybody, and that means leveling the playing field and protecting the environment.
leveling the playing field begins with high quality free education, not just formal education but open access to information each individual deems useful to themselves.
protecting the environment means public transportation propelled by clean energy, and no subsidies to fossil fuels. it also means reducing and balancing the birth rate,
and doing so in an unbiased manor, it means equal habitat and most other rights for all species more developed then a microbe. it means permanent migration easements, and a great many other considerations, and the realization that even top sapients depend upon a healthy environment even for their own existence.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

"economic freedom" is "the cake"

Salutations, good (and hopefully aryan) sir!

I am attempting a survey to gather some data on your personal politics, religious dispositions and the relationship between. If any would be gracious enough to participate I request you state your political inclinations without using terms such as: Left, Right, Liberal, Conservative, Progressive, or Traditional. Instead, please put your religion/or lack thereof, being as specific as possible and then 3 points or statements that you consider most fundamental and relevant to your political identity.

That sounds like great fun! It is an honour to participate in this.

Religion: Difficult to say. Catholic Norse, maybe? Christian-Germanism? Honestly, we got kind of confused, back in the day. Bormann and Göbbels were constantly at each other's throat over the matter. I usually decided who to side with by tossing a coin.

Politics: - the Jews did it
- global warming can be fought. Make it winter for Poland and France
- elections are for suckers

Religion: I'm an atheist who's cool with religion. People can believe what they want and pray whenever they feel like it - doesn't bother me.
Politics: I am a classical liberal. I support capitalism, limited government, states' rights, and socially liberal policies (e.g. I'm pro-choice and pro-LGBTQ). I wouldn't call myself a libertarian because I don't think that the government should eliminate the whole social safety net, as right-libertarians seem to believe. I do think we should make cuts and implement policies like school choice though.
Libertarian Republican. Freedom now, freedom forever.
Pro: School choice, personal responsibility, states' rights, negative income tax, free speech, legal marijuana, hard work, criminal justice reform, capitalism, indirect democracy, a republican form of government.
Con: Socialism, authoritarianism, direct democracy (i.e. ballot initiatives), racism, sexism, extremism.

Religion: I prefer to simply call myself agnostic, without suffixing theist or atheist, simply because I believe it's redundant. If there were a godhood, then I'd wager that it were immanent, i.e. I'd be a pantheist.

Politics: Freedom is always a good basis on which one can ground his political ideology upon. Governments should provide their citizens with an infrastructure of freedom and justice - justice would be that which is conducive to freedom, with obvious exceptions (that I shall not expand upon as philosophy is a tricky subject). But I am not against safety nets such as education and healthcare, which I do believe should not be left solely at the whims of private bodies; nor do I believe that they should be solely at the hands of government ministries. A balance of all things is the key to fortune, I say.

The country whose political system I regard the highest is probably Switzerland.

I'm willing to give my own piece:

Religion: Roman Catholic, but I tend to have some Progressive leanings, I tend to view social and spiritual issues pragmatically.

Politics: Left-Wing, mainly a mix of Left-Libertarian and Christian Left with some Social Democrat. I tend to value Healthcare, Environment, and Education when voting. I believe that the faults of a person is because of their environment and not a personal issue, the government should make efforts to help people get on their feet and become independent. We should also make efforts to help those in need in our country and abroad and set examples (instead of overthrowing governments for our personal interests and gains). I also strongly believe in a regulated free market economy, where we can have economic growth, but not abuse people and the environment.

Is Anarcho-Fascism (AnFash, perhaps?) even a real ideology?
