What is your religion?

[JoshBB]

You don't have to answer this if you don't want to, but if you do... what is your religion? Any reason for this one in specific?

[Ramsay]

Identify as Agnostic but lean more to the Atheist side really

[Ninastar]

I don't have one. But I have the absolute utmost respect for those who do, as long as they don't try and convert me.

Wish more people were like this, but sadly people think that they can force people to agree with them

[Christmas Dynasnow]

there is a difference from being religious and practicing regularly and being brought up religious and not

i have no religion, thankfully, but was raised a christian, regrettably

[Kyle]

Secular humanist.

Why is Catholic separate from Christian but Protestantism or Mormonism isn't just out of curiosity?

[Drew.]

Don't believe in religion

[Calderyon]

Christianity. Lutheran protestant to be exact.

[ChristmasNeeve]

I was born into Catholicism but when I started thinking for myself I decided I didn't buy it and so now I have no religion

[Liam-]

I haven't got one.

[JoshBB]

Secular humanist.

That's actually me, but I branched that off as non-religious since you don't have to believe in a God of some sort.

I put the "main" six.

[Firewire]

I'm irreligious

[Kazanne]

Christian.

[lily.]

Christened in the Church of Scotland, but I don't identify as having any religion since I was old enough to have an opinion.

Main? Isn't that kind of offensive..
Also, you should of put an 'other' option

[Kyle]

Not sure there's enough options on the poll creator to do all the religions/denominations justice on a multinational forum like this so putting the ones with the biggest following is probably the logical choice.

An 'other' option though would scoop up anything else no problem though like you suggested but sometimes you forget these things until it's done. I've botched enough polls in my time on here :laugh:

[JoshBB]

Offensive in what way? These were the ones most commonly affiliated with in the UK, I wouldn't include something like Zoroastrianism as obviously it's very minor and unheard of.

[Rob!]

Atheist.

It's not faith I have a problem with, but religion itself when it's responsible for a hell of a lot of hatred around the world.

[joeysteele]

Roman Catholic, it is the faith I was brought up in, so much of it I cannot now go along with but I have never changed or completely given it up so I guess I remain a RC.

[GypsyGoth]

I wasn't born with a religion and from what I've read of the major ones, none of them appeal to me enough to make me want to join.

[kirklancaster]

I'm a fairly committed agnostic though I have a lot of academic interest in religion - mainly Christianity - because it's so central to what I study. I do also quite like the aesthetics of religion, houses of worship are often the most interesting places to see and the most incredibly designed structures with so much thought and detail gone into them, it's hard not to appreciate

What do you study MTVN?

[Xtopher]

I was born Catholic, stop giving a **** at 12.

[kirklancaster]

I am a non-church going Christian.

This seems to be a common theme on here. Can I ask why you stopped giving a **** at 12?

[In the Drunk Tank]

My course is in Early Modern History mainly focusing on England in the 16th and 17th centuries, probably the period with the most religious upheavals basically lol

Thanks for responding MTVN. Right period for an interest in Church architecture.

[Livia]

According to the last census a large percentage of the country is apparently Jedi. None on here though. I'm guessing that some of you must be on the Dark Side.

[Dollface]

Christian

[Dollface]

P.S why isn't Wiccan on the list :suspect:

[Good King Glennceslas]

I was christened in the C of E but I don't believe in God or anything of the sort so I don't have faith.

[Marsh.]

I don't have faith.

You gotta have faith a faith a faith.....

[lostalex]

[Daniel-X]

I put Catholic but I'm christian went to christian primary and secondary schools but don't really go to church don't practice my religion :whistle:

[Urban Cragou]

Yeah but that's because I actually have respect for people who don't share my views and don't try to convert everyone to anti-theism by continually posting a book written by a dick

[Niall]

The optimistic part of me says Agnostic because I'm absolutely terrified of the prospect of complete void after death, but the pessimistic part of me says Atheist. So either or really.

He's a well respected scientist actually, there is no law that states religion and science have to be poles apart.

Whatever about his scientific knowledge but the man's still an idiot. Especially after what he said about Down Syndrome.

As am I. And it's my opinion that he's an idiot.

It's my opinion that you are a turtle that lives on neptune. but because I have nothing to back up that opinion I don't go spouting off at the mouth about it. So stop talking sheet.

i don't understand this. You've heard how horrible god is. he's homophobic and misogysnistic, and he makes people worship him, and if you don't worship him well enough he punishes them.

would you really want to spend an eternity with a god like that?>

I don't believe in god.

but even if i did think god is real i wouldn't want to live in his kingdom. god sounds like a dick. spending eternity worshiping him doesn't appeal to me at all.

I would prefer oblivion to having to worship an evil piece of **** like God for all eternity.

Indeed but Richard is an emeritus fellow of New College, Oxford, and was the University of Oxford's Professor for Public Understanding of Science.

He is also a best selling author


How are your credentials?

I think it's a tad ironic how you of all people are telling someone to stop chatting sh*t.

If you want to be pedantic about and split hairs over language use that's up to you but I think it's pretty clear that I wasn't calling him an idiot in the academic sense so whatever university he graduated from doesn't change my opinion one bit. He's a fool then, 'a person who acts unwisely or imprudently'. I think that's a pretty accurate description for him and whether you agree or not that's just my personal view.

Agnostic means that you believe it can't truly be proved or disproved as to whether God(s) exists. That nothing can be known of the nature of a divine being's potential existence beyond anything material. In essence, it's not claiming or rejecting the idea of God but simply claiming that we don't know either way.

I prefer that line of thinking to atheism. Atheism is a little harsh for my tastes.

I think alot of agnostic people when they say they think there might be "something", doesn't necessarily mean they think it might be the God/Gods put forward to us by religions. For me *if* there is some sort of higher power that was responsible in some way for our existence, I don't think it was in a way where we were created in their image or are being watched over or anything, I don't think we're that significant in the grand scheme of things

[Christmas Dynasnow]

If you are agnostic about gods then you have to be agnostic about aliens and hobgoblins

[ChristmasNeeve]

Yeah, actually I reckon there's a better chance of aliens than of Gods tbh

Hobgoblins I actually have proof of :idc:
