No I don't. I believe in God, but I also think you can't force people to conform to what you as a person want them to believe. It's not fair. At the same time, people should noot look down on people who believe in God thinking they are stupid for believing in a higher power. I personally can embrace anyone no matter what they believe. You just have to be open minded about everything, even if you don't want to.

I believe no matter what religion one is or is not, it is God that matters now and in the end. I "respect" all faiths and beliefs.\nGod Bless

You called?  ;-)  :-)    I am a spiritual atheist.   I am one who does not believe in "god" or "goddess" or in the divinity of Jesus, but I do still practice a form of spirituality that helps me with my life.  I like some of Jesus' teachings, I glean some wisdom from various religions and apply them to my life.  That is spirituality, in my personal definition.  \n\nSOME, not all, atheists ARE spiritual to various degrees.\n\nEDIT:  In re: confusio; don't worry, that happens.  We all learn something new everyday.  :-)

No, I lack belief in all gods that I've come across so far. It's not possible for me to believe in something if I haven't seen/experienced/perceived anything that makes me think it exists.\n\nTo akpajuju, what if you believed in the wrong god and that god treated idolatry much worse than simply lacking belief? Or what if there is a god that respects honest lack of belief due to never having seen any evidence, but condemns insincere profiteering people who "believe just in case"? You're no "safer" than an atheist. Also it isn't a choice, I can no more choose to believe a god exists than I can choose to believe I'm sat on the back of a unicorn right now.

I am WITHOUT belief in all gods / deities / supernatural beings.\n\nNo Zeus, no Thor, no Osiris, no Hades, no Mithra, no God, no Holy Trinity, no Vishnu, no Invisible Pink Unicorn, no Flying Spaghetti Monster, no angels, no devils, no Satan... you get my point, right?

Certainly not in the context of AA's Higher Power, which is just another term for God.\n\nThere are things in this world more powerful than I am, but I do not pray to any of them, nor would I expect answers or supernatural intervention.\n\nI found it impossible to work the steps as an atheist. I thought the first step was OK; no talk about Higher Powers or Gods. What I didn't realize was that by accepting powerlessness without having a supernatural Savior, meant the only solutions left to me were a return to drinking or suicide. \n\nInstead of depending on some outside force to relieve my addiction, I had to accept the responsibility of being an alcoholic. Even if I was genetically predisposed to alcoholism, it was the act of drinking heavily over a long period of time that caused me to be an alcoholic. Once I accepted the responsibility, I was able to change my behaviors. \n\nIf someone has a Higher Power in their life and believes that this Higher Power is a source of strength or guidance, my hat's off to them. They have one recovery tool that I don't, and I hope that makes their journey easier. But Higher Powers and Gods, steps and programs, are not necessary to quit drinking. I only had a sincere desire to quit, a belief it was possible, and a belief in myself.

I believe in the God of the Bible. None of your definitions encapsulated that entirely. Somewhere between 1.and 2.

Pardon my intrusion, but I do believe in God, 100%.  Not any god or idol of worship, but Jesus Christ, the one true God.  As a believer, my opinion is that "those" who don't believe in God ARE missing out on something (many things), including friendship (if you're alone in this world), fellowship (with other believers, not persecutors), and spiritual satisfaction (always knowing that if God brings you "to it", then God will bring you "through it".)  Good question,  probably no right or wrong answers though...

I dont believe in god.\nActually i dont have to "believe" in facts.\nGod is fact, just as ur life is fact.\nJust tell me will u ever say hi to a person u kno but is dead. Then in reality u never say hi to human body but the divine energy that drives him and u.\nSo one dosent have to believe in facts.

I do not believe in god because there's no reason to suppose that god exists. If there were any evidence for the existence of a higher power it would have been in the papers.\n\nDespite what you may have heard, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. It is not up to me to prove god exists, it is up to other people to prove that he does.\n\nNon existence of supernatural entities is the default position. I require evidence for the existence of Shiva, Zeus, Baal and God. Christians don't believe in Zeus, Shiza and Baal. I'm just more rigorous in my world view.

I don't think you have to believe in God to believe in some kind of afterlife, there are many relgions in the world each one with it's own beliefs and viewpoints.  I personally believe in a soul, but that does not automatically mean I believe in Heaven.  I do believe something wonderful will happen when I die, I am just not sure what that is yet, and I hope it is along time before I find out.  Maybe he was there, because evryone was thinking about him.  It's hard to say.

I think that each of us is divine and part of the Universal Energy commonly known as God.  I think that each of us has the power to create our world - and we do it everyday, whether we believe it or not.\n\nI believe in myself and my own divine power.  I know that when I get sick herbs can help with the symptoms a bit but when it comes to healing I do that myself, using my own personal power.  I know that most of this existence is a reflection of my own beliefs and thought patterns.\n\nHaving said that, I don't believe that I am more powerful or more important than anyone else on the planet - but I am when it comes to my own life.\n\nPeace!

I was baptized Catholic and attended Catechism a few times but even at the age of 7 I didn't believe in "God". I believe the "higher Power" is within each of us and that we are all connected on a subconscious level. Now I worship nature.
