Religious Affiliation?

Nathan F · Post by **Nathan F** » 2003-04-23 12:46pm

What would you consider your religious affiliation (or lack thereof)?

(The reason I put this here and not in SLaM is becaue it isn't a debate, just a poll to see what religions are represented here.)

Atheist.

FWIW: I don't think "atheistic" is a word...

I'm a lapsed Catholic who slowed down for a bit through deism before I went to outright athiesm.

Atheistic belief system, as in, a person who doesn't believe in any deity has atheistic beliefs.

Atheist...mostly out of years of schooling.

It's a word.

Me:

Catholic -> Atheist -> Catholic -> Lapsed Catholic -> Agnostic -> Catholic -> Apathetic -> Atheist.

I changed my mind a lot during middle and high school.

I'm more agnostic than anything... Maybe a polytheist. There may or may not be multiple entities.... So, I'm told I'd fit well into Paganism or Wiccan.

I am an irreligious athiestic discordian, or erisian athiest, or any of a number of different terms that all mean the same thing.

Mostly atheist, with some likings for wicca/paganism.

If my bf saw this, he'd kill me, he's a devout christian.

I'm an ex-Catholic who is now somewhere between an agnostic and an athiest.

Heh, hate to break it to you dear, but there's really no such thing as an ex-Catholic.

Non-Practicing Catholic who spent much of his college years as an Agnostic. Now I am a believer but not in the things that the church would liek me to believe in.

Same guy I've been with the past two years.

Also the same guy who's getting his ticket for his 47th trip around the Sun in May...

As Monty Python says, you're a Catholic from the moment Dad came.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

I refuse to believe that, Spankalicious. Bleck.

Oh, I forgot to say that I'm also an honourary Jew. My best friend's Jewish, I've taken Hebrew in college, I go to synagogue on high holy days, etc.

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2003-04-23 01:13pm

Yup, that's how things work, dear.

My mom's an excommunicated* Catholic, who's been baptised as a Baptist, but she's still a Catholic.

But look at the bright side, it's one of the two only REAL Christian faiths.

*Which you know doesn't mean that you've been thrown out of the Church, just that you're damned and can no longer receive communion.

Only in the view of the Church. The Church may consider me a Catholic, but I'm not one, so they can fuck off.

Captain Cyran · Post by **Captain Cyran** » 2003-04-23 01:18pm

Christian, NOT Catholic. Damnedable crappy religion. I am United Methodist and damn proud of it.

Not to mention I'm also a PK, no not Player Killer, Preacher's Kid.

I'd say I'm an agnostic Catholic, probably leaning more toward agnostic.

Hmmm....lots of ignorant folks on this board....

I'm refering to you atheists, of course.
