    Helenismos. I'll go with that. Greek gods are much more fun. I researched them in the game "God of War" :grin:

    Really, Atheism and Agnosticism aren't religions either...

    I do not find any arbitrary supernatural answer to the unknown particularly satisfying and am thus irreligious. To put it in poll form - atheist.

    Same thing with me except I just put down Catholic. I don't know what to believe. I don't know if I believe 100% in God to be honest. Mostly because a bunch of stuff in the Bible has come out to be bullshit. Like girls have to sacrifice a lamb after their period or something. Or it's a sin to eat shelled fish, like shrimp. All of that is perfectly fine for everyone else to go against but God forbid I go with my natural instincts and fuck a dude. Beliefs suck. Beliefs just control people :dry:

    My family are collectively Buddhist, so that is what I selected.

    Although I probably wouldn't consider myself devout or even highly spiritual, I often follow the traditions and customs of the religion out of respect and interest, as I find Buddhism promotes many wonderful messages and a way of life that is much more fluid and open than most other religions.

    After you vote in a poll, whatever option you picked will be in italics when you look at the poll. For someone who picked Atheist, when they look at the poll, "Atheist" is in italics.

    If you actually would have read my post, you would have realized I never even mentioned either of those. I was talking about humanism (which is not a form of atheism or agnosticism for the matter) and how Humanism wasn't a religion. :|

    I was raised as Roman Catholic, but I disagree with too many assumptions and dogmas of this church so that I can't be still a member of this church, to belong to it. I don't like blind, literal interpretation of the Bible, without deeper analysis and taking into account the context of times in which it came into existence. So since a few years I'm not practising and I'm not going to the church. If I could choose some religion it is most probably Protestantism, Evangelical Church.

    I'm very spiritual. I personally believe there is a God and a heaven but I don't believe that Christians, Catholics, Mormons, or any of the other religions are doing it right so I simply don't follow them and I follow my own morals.

    Simple as that. :slight_smile:

    No-one's mentioned ignosticism yet either. I'd be a strong agnostic with an ignostic basis.

    From a Christian standpoint, it is. But the official name is Helenismos. (From the whole Alexander The Great "Hellenism" thing). Look it up, it's actually a much more active religion then you may think. Live and let live, I say.

    By definition a religion with multiple gods is a pagan religion. yes that is its actual name but is is still paganism. and I know its a very active religion, I study greek mythology for fun.
