I consider myself Agnostic with Pagan/Wiccan/Polytheistic leanings, and a good healthy dollop of Humanism/Pantheism, generally speaking. ---

I’m atheist agnostic. That is to say, I don’t believe now but I’m open to new ideas. I say I was raised atheist, but that pisses off my mom, an avowed atheist. Who knows? ---

Raised as a Methodist but currently leaning toward Agnostic. I don’t believe there is a God who watches over everyone but I do think the Big Bang didn’t “just happen”. I also believe there was a very religious guy named Jesus who lived about 2000 years ago but not that he’s the literal Son of God. I further believe the Bible is essentially the World’s Oldest Newspaper. ---

I got to about page 6 before I got bored. This is why I got a C in statistics. I believe that all organized religion is fundamentally bad. That being said, my father was raised Catholic. My mother was raised Lutheran. I was raised Catholic, but after my father died, my mother and siblings and I took on more of an agnostic or atheistic belief (dependent on the person). So, since 1996, I, myself took on an agnostic belief, simply because I am not ready to commit myself to much of anything in the way of religion anymore. I do believe in a lot of things that Shinto does, but thats more of a practice than a religion. I also like the teachings of Buddhism, or what of them I know. I would need to delve more deeply into it before accepting myself as anything other than agnostic. Regardless, I am open to the idea of there being something out there. I just dont know what to believe yet. So for the purposes of statistical analysis in a one-liner: agnostic (I apologize for being so verbose) ---

Saw a bumper-sticker once - **"Militant Agnostic: I don’t know and you don’t either!"** That pretty much sums it up. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/religion-poll/246936.md?page=16) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/religion-poll/246936.md?page=18)
