“Christian” While I believe in God and _some_ Christian tenents of faith, I don’t think organized religion is a good idea…it tends to lead to wars and burning at the stake and other unpleasentries. However, [This church](http://www.obsse.com/) isn’t so bad 😛 ---

In spite of the recent splits, aren’t Anglican and Episcopalian the same thing? Church of England, with bishops. That makes five or so Anglicans. Do I count as Anglican any more? (clutching her rosary) I don’t know. ---

Non-practicing, very skeptical Roman Catholic. Realistically, though, I’m probably closer to agnostic–just don’t tell my Mom. ---

Hmmm… Born a Catholic, parents had a short run as Johova Witnessness, Baptised a Luthern, Raised a Baptist, married a Catholic. Hmmm… Confused maybe? My personal beliefs are probably more Agnostic. Probably any religion thats peaceful is better than none, but I see it all as a sedative for the oppressed. Suffer now and you get it ALL later!!! (_later, when we don’t have to pay you_) Maybe I just believe in mother nature, the power of natures creation, I guess thats pagan 😕 ---

Well, I guess I’m an agnostic. I mean, I’m probably more of an atheist, but it’s hard to bring myself to say that I’m completely certain that there’s no God (or higher power, or… whatever) when there’s no way I can know _for sure_ that there isn’t. Also, I was raised Southern Baptist and spent part of my early teenage years in a Southern Baptist home for children and it’s _really_ hard to just slough all of that conditioning off. ---

Raised Christian with Jewish overtones (i.e. Jesus-believing, Saturday Sabbath, no Christmas or Easter, but Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles). I left religion entirely when I was old enough to decide for myself. I’m agnostic/secular humanist, with just enough deep-seated superstition to think that if there _is_ a god, he’s going to get me. But not before I spit in his eye. ---
