i'm a traditionalist jew, actually; i follow traditions and am not very active.

Glice 05.15.2007 10:35 AM

Catholic. Which is to say, the best religion. In your face, other religions.

SYRFox 05.15.2007 10:35 AM

Atheist, and convinced of it

_slavo_ 05.15.2007 10:40 AM

Christian catholic. I do believe in God, but barely go to church.

Danny Himself 05.15.2007 10:40 AM

Quite a few Catholics here..

sarramkrop 05.15.2007 10:52 AM

I am fiercely atheist but i've learned to respect people who have faith in whatever god they believe in from my mum, who's a devoted catholic, but one who is totally lacking any sort of hipocrisy. It helped that we were never forced something like religion by both parents, and in a way it made IT possible for my brothers and sisters to respect her faith and religious customs. Seriosuly, she is one of the most tolerant people i know. My brother told me this story of when the pope died and he observed her silently weeping while watching tv with a jewish lady that she's friends with. At one point he said that they both hugged each other and wept together. I've found that a very powerful image of tolerance between people of different religious backgrounds.

Thats great. I know a few hardcore catholics though, and some can just come on too strong with it. Those types who want to be defined by what religion they are.

floatingslowly 05.15.2007 11:02 AM

since everyone is getting more specific, I will too.

I'm more Lakota-Sioux Ghost Dance vs. the somewhat watery Paiute (no disrespect to Wovoka).



BEHOLD, THE PORTENT OF YR DOOM:


 

Iain 05.15.2007 11:03 AM

I'd say pretty much the same as Pantophobia. Agnostic but Atheist when pissed off. Up until a few years ago I would have probably said Atheist but I suppose I've become more open minded to other possibilities. Not that I remotely believe in a God but on the other hand I can't proved his/her/it's non-existence either. Plus that cunt Dawkins gives Atheists a bad name.

Iain 05.15.2007 11:06 AM

Also, I think on the last Census I put Mercerism as my religion. It was at the time that there was that internet campaign to get Jedi recognised as a proper religion. Me and a friend thought Mercerism was a slightly more obscure and cool fictional sci-fi religion so we put that. It was classic 'students being hilarious and oh so clever' type stuff and I apologise profusely for it and, in my defense, would like it noted that I never once stole a traffic cone, road sign or any other piece of public furniture when other intoxicated or sober...m'lud.

Danny Himself 05.15.2007 11:11 AM

Hah.

I don't know exactly why I feel so strongly towards Catholicism. My parents are mostly agnostic- my dad is one of those people who collects far eastern knick knacks, so we have Buddhas and a Ganesh displayed around the house. There is a crucifix in the kitchen that my dad bought in Spain, and I have rosary beads in my room. Whenever I try to bring Religion up I usually find that both my dad and sister are atheists, which bugs me a little.

Toilet & Bowels 05.15.2007 12:07 PM

i'm catholic by birth but waver between unquestioning papism, and bewildered agnosticism.

it's surprising to see so many english catholics here.

!@#$%! 05.15.2007 12:22 PM

NONE.

i was raised catholic but managed to get it out of my system-- thank god!

is it because the protestants are hard at work, trying to buy their way into heaven?

I was born into a liberal Irish-Catholic family but I turned atheist when the "religious question" started to concern me in high school. Then I became agnostic and have been ever since.

But mostly I'm apathetic.

i understoiod your point. anyway, catholics didn't start getting persecuted and were still the dominant religion until elizabeth the first's reign.

If that was a joke, good one.

Hip Priest 05.15.2007 02:16 PM

I'm a devout Christian, of the Anglican kind (of course, Church of England in my case). The Church of England's 39 Articles just about sum up my position, really.

I'm comfortable with all branches of the Anglican church, but the one we're involved with is more of the Evangalism-oriented variety than the Anglo-catholic type. Both ends of Anglicanism are fine by me though.

Our church, if you care:

 

SynthethicalY 05.15.2007 02:31 PM

Humanity, that is my religion.
