A nice term for "I claim to be religious but really have about as much faith as John Shelby Spong.". Not to sound rude or mean or anything.

I shee...

If they then claim to be religious, even if they are not, I doubt that option will therefore be selected as such. Hmm.

I selected non-religious. Personally I don't care if I'm called that or atheist or agnostic or whatever, despite the differences between them. I opted out of religion and faith.

Non-religious. I'm not sure why I don't have one. I mean, sure I beleive in God, but it dosen't get much more than that.

Meh. I'll covert on my deathbed, I supposed. Just to cover my bases. Or if the minister just won't leave me alone.

Nobody at Oddworld forums believes! .....but ya I'm not religious either. My parents didn't put me in that envronment, they just think the church is a scam. And it's nice not having to go to church. I know there are a lot of religous people and that's fine. I do believe that there is some kind of God, but i think a lot of things about religion are weird. Just something to think about I heard on tv: Would you believe the stories of the bible/other religous book if they were just told by someone today?

Your youth group is trying to change you? Man, I hate it when they do that... My old school was bad for doing it, they made us sing hymes about god.

Oh Heaven forbid you ever sing a song about God! Have mercy ...

I'm Church of England (Protestant), but I'm not that religious. Oh and here's a little Q&A about Christianity I found by someone I know from elsewhere: http://beetlebros.gametechmods.com/jtr.htm

I guess I am Christian protestant. But I've never read the entire bible (I've only finished about one book, but started a few others) and I'm a bit of a skeptic, but I think I have enough faith not to be classed as lapsed.

More like "I used to be religious but I'm not any more"

I suppose I classify myself as a non-orthodox, orthodox Jew. I don't practise the religion all that much (okay, you can call me lapsed if you want) but when I do it's always the orthodox stream.

I chose the path of the Lord a loooong time ago. He opened my eyes to the wonders of this world and let me enjoy life without sin so I can get my spot into heaven when I die. I thank Jesus every day for taking my sins and pray to him every morning and every night for he is the holy light of the heavens.
I voted Catholic and for all you non religious sinners I must urge you to do the same lest you be cast to hell on the day you leave this world for all eternity! Let Jesus save you from Satan! Let Jesus take your sins for you! Jesus has died once before for you and he can do it again! Heil Jesus!

Hm... Think I killed it with that last one... Ah well.

If you call me a christian one more time, Patrick, I'll bust a cap...

People are always saying the messianic Jews are just like christians. But show me a christian church that celebrates Hannukah, Pesach, Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, etc, and I'll think about it.

And besides...Christian kids aren't Bar Mitzvah

I'm a big mix of ideas.
Lots of athiest+agnostic ideas, as well as some buddhistic ideas.
That, and some ideas of my own thrown in.

As well as some from the scene in the Matrix Reloaded where Smith tells Neo about purpose.

"Satanism" is a misnomer. Satanists don't actually worship Satan; they just reject the Christian church.

...

Liberal Jewish? Is there such a thing as a non-liberal jew? I mean, they do control the media with their slanderous lies and everything.
