3. People can be atheists, but they can't prove that religion doesn't exist. They would have to explain why people made the bible and church thousands of years ago for no reason, and how they still exist today.
But can you prove that god is real? No offence, but saying that people can be Atheists but are wrong isn't really fair and contradicts itself...

I may be an Atheist but really I like to believe there is more than one god, not sure why but I just feel more comfortable with it... I did really annoy one of my old, highly Christian friends by saying I believed more in Paganism (More specifically Norse Paganism) than Christianity and in return she labelled me as a Heathen and still does today... Though I still identify as Atheist as there is lots of things that I disagree with in Pagan religions, I just believe that we as a species occured through luck in evolution rather than some unknown being creating us on a whim, that just doesn't sit well with me...
 
Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one here who isn't a conformist. Good to know. I think you can figure out what religion I follow from that :).

Just going all mini-mod right now, how about we stop this before it spreads anymore? This is just a question. The author of the thread asked what you believe, not why. I understand it's not that bad right now, but I've seen plenty of these threads, so I vote that we stop this before the thread gets killed. And this isn't just directed at you. I'm not attacking anyone, I'm just saying to calm it before it starts.

I'm a Christian, nondenominational, plain and simple.

I'm not religious in any way shape or form but if I had to hone it down, I guess I would be a Buddhist. I do believe in karma and I am very interested in reincarnation. I wouldn't have enough knowledge to debate about it, but debating about religions is not something I'm particularly searching for. Whatever you believe in, that's cool. I also kind of believe that when you die, whatever you believed in will become a reality. If you believe in heaven, you'll go to heaven. If you believe in reincarnation, you'll be reincarnated. It may not be as simple as that, but I'd like to think it is.

Though at the same time, I believe in science and logic. Like I said, honing it down is hard for me. I'm either an Atheist or a Buddhist. But I don't care enough to find myself on the spectrum.

I'm and Atheist Buddhist... if that makes sense. I don't really believe any God or Devil/ Angels or Demons exist at all, but I live my life more like the way Buddha teaches plus Reincarnation really interests me, but I guess you could say the two are the same since Buddhism doesn't necessarily have a God... at least that I'm aware of.

I'm Christian, but I would NEVER, under any circumstances, shove it down other people's throats. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion.
 
Im truly amazed by how many atheists have voted... As of this post there are 50 votes and 58% are atheist. I'm most interestd to see how many cotes we can get in...
 
i go to a baptist church every sunday and sometimes wednesday,
in a few of the instances where i am actually paying attention to the sermon, i find myself thinking about how really dumb something the pastor just said was, and wondering how all the people around me can just accept everything this man is telling them without question.

like, christianity is great and all, i consider my beliefs to be somewhat aligned with it. i just want to think for myself though
 
My parents are Christians. I suppose I am, too?

Like other people have said, I don't shove it down people's throats nor do my parents. I cannot stand it when any religion does that.
 
Pastafarianism (my belief of the Flying Spaghetti Monster) with a tint of Buddhism and Star Trek (Next Generation and Deep Space 9) philosophy. I'm more spiritual than religious. I don't care whether or not other people believe in the same kind of spirituality that I believe in-- my own belief makes me happy and peaceful.
 
Lol, somehow I'm not surprised the largest groups are Christian and Atheist... XD
 
I'm christian.

This means the followings

I try to follow The Ten Commandments in the bible
I read the bible
I go to church or at least watch church
I am monotheistic (meaning I worship only one god)
I worship a god named, well... God
I believe in the God, the devil, Heaven and Hell
I believe all things that happened in the bible actually happened
I believe in an afterlife

My mom has the same religion as me, and I have to say, she is a bit too religious for me. I can't hold a simple conversation with her without her or with someone mentioning god or satan. Not only that, there are other things that she does religiously that bugs me that I am not even going to mention.
