What a great question!!!!! Thanks for asking. This is really neat.\n\nI'm a practicing Hindu.\n\nMy second-favorite religion would probably be Jainism. It stresses Ahimsa..nonviolence...of which I am a big fan of this sacred principal (practiced in Hinduism and Buddhism, too, but not to the degree of Jainism). I find myself very fascinated with so many of the teachings of Jainism and many of the similar practices between Hinduism and Jainism, and yet their differences...especially theologically.\n\nNow, just in case you are one of those folks that considers Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism to all be part of the "Hindu" branch....then just in case, my answer would then be the religion of Baha'i (it's technically Abrahamic since it comes from Babism which comes from Islam which comes from Christianity which comes from Judaism...long strand there!). The Baha'i religion is very tolerant, very respectful of other religions (just as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, and Taoism are). The Baha'is teachings are somewhat similar to Hinduism is some areas, but follow a more Abrahamic traditional approach. While their houses of worship are very different from Hindu worship and even Christianity's worship, it is still great. It is sort of like Unitarian-Universalism where there is a reading, some discussion, maybe some songs, etc. \n\nMy third would be Unitarian-Universalism....assuming you consider it a seperate religion....some consider it a denomination of Christianity. Mainly because of their tolerant views and their focus, not on a creed or religion, but on the inherent worth and dignity of every human being.

My husband and I believe in God and have faith in Jesus, not religion. Both of us have tried different religions throughout our lives but it seems like they all have negative aspects. We feel that we don't have to associate with any particular church or religion to have a relationship with God and we are much happier for it. We also believe that since God created this earth, then God is everywhere, so why should we have to confine our worship to a building or on a particular day?

My religion is self-righteousness.  I don't mean this in a holier-than-thou way, but that I follow my conscience.  I, for example, really appreciate the way Sikhs wear scarves inside their temples.  It signifies a respect for diety that I admire.  They also hold open kitchens, where anybody is allowed to eat regardless of religion or race.  Zen buddhists believe that words have absolutely no meaning, and as a huge part of practice, they meditate.  Christians believe in Jesus Christ as the second in the trinity (Heavenly Father and the Holy Spirit being the other two).\n\nMyself, I practice Christianity.  But also, I know that there is truth to other religions, and I embrace the traditions that do not conflict with my base beliefs.

you know the same God? right. so much so that you have typed it G-d...right. as for whether you really are saved or good with God, no one can be the judge of that, except God Himself. however, the only TRUE RELIGION is christianity. end of story. it's the religion behind believing what you need and having the right relationship with Jesus/God. so there ya are. the truth.

i believe in Life, Love and Oneness. no need to call it a religion, because religions can seperate and create disharmony. yet, i don't judge anothers view point. if believing what they believe makes them feel good, and keeps them doing good things for others, then it is doing something good. but it is also smart to expand your mind, to open up to other possibilities, and to respect all of life.\ni know, i feel what is true for me. "God" is the creator. and we are also creators, but on a smaller scale. collectively we are a part of God. Energy. Divinity. Life.\n\n*peace

My understanding of Religion, at least for a Monotheist point of view, is that religion is man's attempt to obey God.  \n\nFor me I am "Christian".  But my relationship with God is more important than how good of a Christian I can be.  I will always fail in pleasing both God and man.  But pleasing God is infinitely more important than pleasing man.  By accepting His grace and obeying His word, he is pleased.  If I can consistently do these things I will exceedingly satisfy my "religous" duties.\n\nSo to answer your question, I would say I do know what it talks about when it comes to my religion.  But only because I get my religous beliefs and practices from a reliable source, God.  And if I have any questions, I ask God not my religion.  Hope this answers your question.\n\np.s.  In no way am I an expert or claim to be an expert.  This answer is a result of what God has taught me through my relationship with Him.

Good Question-\n\nI changed from Grk Orthodox to (no title) I just say I am a child of God. It's all about having a relationship with Jesus. It's not about tradition, works or man made rules. Jesus took to the cross all our sins, sicknesses, infirmities and iniquities. I didn't know this until I became a born again Christian and read my Bible. They never told us "Read your Bible" It was not stressed enough.  I was never even taught "how to ask Jesus in my life" nor did I even know about the free gift of salvation. I believed in my mind but not in my heart. \nHere I thought we were the "best religion" the most righteous. Again, it all boils down to having a "relationship" with Jesus.\nI am so thankful to Jesus for opening my eyes and ears to His Truth.\nIt's all about Jesus and all Glory to His Name.\nHallelujah!  **A child of God**!

I hate the idea that I believe in a religion, at times I dont want to call myself a christian because of all the bad things associated with it. I love knowing that there is a purpose, that all that happens around me is going to eventually work out for the greater good. I love knowing that God is on my side, and that he is here for me. I love having the presence of God with me at all times, and I love that other people can tell it when they are around me. I love that I can love, freely, openly and without shame, because my God, the one true God, has given me the freedom to do so. Im free to dance, I can forget about my two left feet and Im free to sing, even joyful noise is music to him, and Im free to love, cause hes given me his love and its set me free.

I don't follow an organized religion - I follow Jesus - there is a big difference.

When people ask me why I don't go to church, I tell them that I try to practice my religion every day,  rather than worrying about appearances.  I don't quite put it in those words, but pretty darned close!

The influences of my religion to my personality are as follows:\n\n1) My religion help me to become or to strive to become a better person every day;\n\n2) My religion teach me not to give up in time of difficulties;\n\n3) My religion help me to become positive minded;\n\n4) My religion teach me not to be afraid of death [or dying] as after we died there is an afterlife which is better than the presence life.

Spiritual atheist speaking.  I love learning about various religions of the world, what they believe, why they believe this and not that, what deities they have, and about their sacred texts.  I still do not believe after all what I have learned. \n\nPlus, I do like giving the "other side of the coin" to a question.  It would get boring if all the answers were just one-sided, right?
