Former Christian, now agnostic theist. Boy is that ever a long explanation:)
More or less a Buddhist. I don’t know from “religious”–I usually just say my temporal lobes are prone to minor seizures, but that inspires funny looks.
Ehh… I haven’t a clue what I’d be called. Maybe a devoted pantheist with a creative streak. I have a very absorbing belief in a higher power that could be called ‘God’ and that this power is in no way seperate from the universe – this power is the universe, and thus, everything is ‘God’ – we are ‘God’, this computer is ‘God’, the kitty on my lap is ‘God’ I do respect and love this deity dearly and have a very deep set of beliefs regarding ‘God’, but I am technically part of no religion, unless I call my beliefs my own personal system of faith.
Polls belong in IMHO. I’ll move this for you.

One more Jew checking in. Though I’m conservadox with slight leanings towards deism (I know it makes no sense) so I’m not as religious as the others.
Sorry Cajun Man. Somehow I thought I had posted this in IMHO. (out of curiosity, where was it? I can’t find it elsewhere.) Thanks for those who pointed out the “neo-pagan” defitition I intended.
Some additional questions.
ivylass: I understood neo-pagans and wiccan to be more or less the same. I’d be interested to know the difference.
For the various UUs, deist, and theist: I understood these to be of Christian origin, historically (especially UUism). When did they move away from that/
I occasionally attend a feminist church in NYC, but I’m basically a non-believer in a male “God” and especially any religion which does not treat women and men equally.
Zen Buddhist.
Oh, and for the record, I’m Buddhist.
Same as Lodrain.
Forgive you, ey?
One Buddhist here.
