How many hours a week do you spend on your religion?

Awesome!

My religion is knitting and sarcasm.

Very portable and the latter is free! The former, though, can be expensive in a non-taxdeductible manner.

I go Shabbat services on Friday nights, so that’s about 2 hours a week (3-4 if you count Shabbat dinner afterwards).

Does fasting for the month of Ramadan count? :wink:

Huh. While my religious life has fallen off considerably (I need to start taking the kids to Sunday School again, before my mom gets back from vacation and sees they aren’t there! :wink: ), my spiritual life is quite rich and full.

I have my own spiritual views, and I work closely on spiritual matters with women who have wonderfully varied spiritual lives- a practicing witch; a born-again Christian; a questioning, agnostic lesbian; a middle of the road Protestant. It’s great fun!

Time? A few minutes a day, unless I’m doing something specific- then maybe 2 or 3 hours a week?

Zero. Unless you count the Daft Punk concert I was at a couple of months ago. That certainly bordered on a religious experience.

Completely agree Yookeroo. Mind Blowing

From November through March I attend services at a UU church a couple of times a month with my wife. The rest of the year it conflicts with golf!

It varies wildly, from several to zero, depending on where I’m at in life.

For the last three months, I’d have to say zero, except for occasional, ‘‘Wow, I really agree with the main tenets of my own religion’’ revelations. In June, I spent about an hour a day reading religious texts and meditating. It seems to go in cycles with me.*

*I’m Buddhist, but due to my experiences as a former Bible-thumper, worry a lot about getting so into it I become an irrational raving lunatic. Sometimes I think my frequent lack of formal observance is deliberate, for exactly this reason.

Let’s see… about 2 hours a week for Black Mass, an hour a week for defiling virgins, another hour for sacrificing the goat…

All in all 0 hours per week worshipping the IPU.

signs on Adding that the formal part can vary a lot; I’ll go to Mass in a language I don’t understand occasionally, but not weekly.

My worst problem with my current job is that I’m being paid to not do things which, in conscience, I should do. My beliefs influence a lot of what I do and, strictly speaking, should influence even more.

Am I counting just the time at AA meetings, or the time I spend drinking, too?

I’m on the SDMB probably an hour a day.

I spend 1-2 hours a week at church, depending. I don’t really keep track of how much I pray.

(And there’s all the goddess-of-love duties, too, but I can fob some of those off on Kama or Áine…)

I’m an atheist, but I’m a member of a UU fellowship, so can I call it “religion” instead of religion? If so, my family goes to services once a week. Including the coffee and bagels afterward, it’s about two hours per week. I’m also a member of a small group that is currently discussing a specific application of Buddhism. We meet once a month for two hours. I’m also thinking of adding some sort of meditation into my life, because I think I really need to do that. Maybe a half hour per day? That would be nice. Does reading books like God is Not Great count as time spent on religion? Because I usually have one book going at any given time that deals with spirituality (or lack thereof).

That’s not nearly enough, heathen!

Its a bit tricky for me ,being a practicing Satanist you’ve got all the bother of hunting around for Human sacrifices and finding virgins in this part of England ?
Just dont get me started on that one .

And as for religious tolerance ?HUH!
Just you try phoning my boss and asking for the morning off cos you’re knackered from dancing around naked in a graveyard all night!

Take a tip from me save your breath .

Its all “We prefer family men who take religion seriously” at the interview ,but its fuck you profits come first when you ask for time off.
So much for the respect of traditional values .

Its enough to make you turn athiest.
