When people ask me this question, I tend to variate my answer between "I'm an agnostic" and "I'm a deist". I'm kinda hopeful towards there being some sort of deity, but I'm not particularly interested in being part of a religion, either.

I'm an atheist.
It's interesting to see that the first four to answer have all picked different options. I think that says something positive about how varied we are as a community.

Chose none, I'm agnostic. Never raised a certain way. I have no idea what's out there is all. I like some Buddhist ideas a lot, but I really don't know much about any religion. I'd like to "try" a whole bunch though. Put it in quotes because I probably wouldn't commit to any, but I'm interested in learning about beliefs because it will help me get people more.

I'm agnostic leaning towards atheism.
I was originally raised as a weird blend of Christian/Muslim for each of my parents and my name was picked because it conveniently appears in both the Bible and the Q'uran, but now my parents aren't religious anymore and neither am I.

I do believe in a God, and my idea of it is probably panentheistic. My religious view is obviously mainly influenced by Christianity, since I was raised a Catholic, but I've always tried forming my own interpretations of the stories found in the Bible, and they don't always coincide with what the Church says. Also, my father's an atheist, so I always kinda had these two perspectives on it.
I continue to look for answers in the arts and philosophy when it comes to religion, and by way of good ole thinking (for me that's all that praying ultimately is). I plan to read the King James version of the Bible all the way through after finishing college. I'm interested in reading other religious texts after that, too.

I'm Catholic for many reasons, though I differ with a lot of things with church. Although I firmly believe in the power of faith more than anything, so I really think all the paths lead to the same place, as long as your feeling/beliefs are real and authentic.

Short answer: Christian/Mormon.
Long answer: I've been on quite the faith journey over the last year or two and it is in no way over, who knows where I will eventually end up. Mormon-ish, to be sure, but with loads of liberation theology sprinkled in. Lately I've been attending services at Community of Christ, originally part of the Mormon Church but it split off in the 1800s while the Utah territory was busy becoming a theocracy, and has pretty much been similar in structure but more liberal and less authoritarian ever since. But yeah, Christian would be the poll option that fits the best.

I'm a very unwilling Pentecostal/Charismatic Christian. I can't wait until I move out of Indonesia so I can become an atheist.
