I don't have a religion, I'm an Athiest. I don't feel that their is one right religion and the others are wrong. I don't want to get into a religious debate, so I'll just leave it at that.
 
I never really believed in organized religion. Just never was a religious person.
 
I'm not a big fan of organized religion either, think before you pray.
 
I have faith, but I don't associate myself with a specific religion. I just don't buy into the ideologies of a Church and praying every Sunday. To me being a member of Church is like being a member of any other social club. You pay your dues and you meet up with other members. In my experience Church is in the business of making money off people's guilt or fear of death.
 
Muslim.....was raised a Christian my whole life, but I've converted to Islam.
 
I believe but like others I don't really have 1 religion, go to a catholic church every once in awhile....
 
I believe in god but I dont practice a specific religion.

Good to hear. Proud Muslim here.

Question for all the "aetheists" (if I may call you all that..), do you guys find inspiration in other places than faith? What religion do you find yourself closest to?

Don't want to pry, just get a better understanding of those who don't practice religion.

I'd consider myself more of an agnostic meaning i think god may or may not exist but its beyond us to know. I just find inspiration in regular life i dont need a book that may or may not be true to really guide me. i dont really care what religion other people are if it works for them good, but i just dont like people who try to convert other people to their beliefs.
 
I was raised Lutheran, but I don't really classify myself as a member of any specific Christian organization. I'm Christian, but I have my own beliefs on most things, and many of them don't match up well with Dogma

Right on
 
I'm not really religous. One thing I don't understand about religion is that they state if you don't follow their way, you will go to hell. What happens to you if you are a good person but don't practise a religion? I think this means you don't get to go to "paradise" or "heaven" but you go to hell.

Quote the dragon. I don't think you need to conform to a certain religion to believe and worship God. It's more of a personal thing in my opinion.
 
Even such a simple quote from the Simpsons is so true

" What if we are worshipping the wrong religion and we are just getting God madder and madder? "
- Homer J. Simpson

I believe my own beliefs. I will leave it at that.

Definitely, I draw inspiration from a lot of different outlets. A simple quote might do it, or just taking in a beautiful day at the beach.

What I find wrong about religion is the fear instilled if you do something wrong and against the word of your god. Part of life is making mistakes and working through them. I find statements like ...

"If you do that you're going to hell."
"God is watching you, you better not do that."

very immature. Why do people need a fear of god to be a good person?

Buddhism is probably the religion most appealing for me.
 
I'm Unitarian-Universalist which is a pretty nice religion. I don't consider myself very religious, but I am able to follow and respect the values of the UU faith. It's basically a liberal and all-inclusive religion; meaning that any person of any faith or belief is welcomed. There are certainly different subgroups within the religion, and I guess you could call mine Christian (as both my parents were Catholic) but the sense of openness and community in this church is much better for me because it's not as uptight as Catholic institutions.
