Can you put it off for a while?  Perhaps tell them you'd like another year to think about it?

The only way I know of to KNOW a religion is to practice it.\n To learn what a religion is about, I think read the books, listen to the people and go to the churches and then make YOUR decision based on how you feel that it all fits in with your core values and beliefs

I don't admire your position.  My suggestion would be to first do some soul searching; decide what you truly believe God or The Divine is and how you relate to Him/Her.  Is God merciful and kind?  Vengeful and Angry?  Is He simply a Creator that allows man to choose his own path or does he have our destiny mapped out for us?\nAfter that- another hard choice- the afterlife.  Do you believe in one at all?  Is there a heaven?  if so, is there a hell?  Do you believe a soul can be reincarnated?\nMy suggestion is to actually write these questions and answers down on paper to give yourself a very clear picture of your beliefs.  Think of as many theological questions and theories that are important to you and actually put them into words.  Then- RESEARCH.  I would say go to a clergy member, pastor etc but if you do remember they are only going to give you THEIR beliefs and teachings, not what you may consider your own.  So if you seek advice from a third party, take everything from a skeptics point of view unless you find someone that says EVERYTHING you've written down as your core beliefs. (Chances are- you won't)\nTry the internet, library, bookstore- whatever nonpartial resources you can find.\nLastly, keep an open mind.  Don't write down "I believe in the Bible so I must be Christian".  Judaism believes in the Old Testament of the Bible; Mormons believe in both the Old and the New Testamants but have a Third testament as well.  Wiccans don't believe in the Christian Bible, but have many of the same core beliefs as "love thy neighbor".  Here's a good web site that has a lot of information on a variety of religions   http://www.religioustolerance.org/  \nThere's no easy way out of this one.  You've got a long road ahead of you and I wish you luck.

Find a Spirit filled church. One that uses the Holy Bible (only) and one that urges relationship and not "religion."\n\nReligion is how man tries to reach God/Jesus.\n\nRelationship is how God reaches us through Jesus Christ.\n\nGrace to you and God Bless...

Decide what differences exist in your beliefs exactly then stick to the truth of Gods' word. Always in love and kindness, with meekness and humbleness. Fall on your face about this before you enter into it. Seek help from our father and our Lord. Be sincere and you will succeed as long as you do not offend. It may take time. Always remember The Lord is your Shepard. So let him lead. listen to your subject and see what they need by letting them reveal it to you. Edify their spirit but nullify their mis-information with the word. May God be with you and peace be to you and yours.

I am sorry. I was lost in prayer. Welcome to our church. Here is a beer. How can we help you? And, may I say, you are looking very very nice today, if you know what I mean. :)

(Note: I was raised Catholic and now consider myself agnostic.)My observations of religion throughout history:  Religion has always been there.  All religions give guidelines for how to live life.  Many people have died for the sake of religious beliefs.\n\nReligion has always been there...  How many religions (including all of the "extinct" religions) have there been?  How many do you worship?  Do you really have reason to believe that yours is the right religion?  Haven't you noticed that most children worship the same religion as their parents?\n\nAll religions give guidelines as how to live life...  the 10 commandments: dont kill, dont steal...   Yup that these types of things sound good to me.  Did I really need a list of things I should not do?  What about torture?  Why isn't that on the list?  Through education I developed a moral compass and a concious.  A way of knowing what is right and wrong.\n\nMany people have died for the sake of religious beliefs... This is my beef with religion.  It unites those within it, but it divides those of the different religions.  If its such a good thing why do so many die in its name?\n\nSo why am I not atheist?  I honestly don't know if there is a God or not.  Maybe God did create everything and is now on the sidelines.  I hope their is a God.  I really do.  My dad's passing was one of the hardest experiences of my life.  I hope he was not reduced to nothingness.  Still I must be honest with myself.  I DONT KNOW.  Anyone who says they do is lieing in my opinion.  If they did really know then it is no longer a question of faith.  Sure if I met God I'd worship him/her/it/them.  But I'm not going to blindly follow ANYTHING, much less something as powerful as religion.\n\nIf there is a God and they stand in judgement upon a person's death I do not believe that God will care if we went to church on Sunday, gave money to the church, or repented before our death.  They will care how we lived our life.  Did we try to improve the lives of the people around us?  Did we try to do the right thing?  Did we treat others as we wish to be treated?  And if there is this judgement followed by a heaven/hell, I believe I will be meeting my dad in heaven.  Until then I will try to do the right thing, not because of religion, but because ITS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

If you want to talk about or ask about Jesus . . . go to the religious section . . . where the rest of the nuts hang out . . . they will give you an answer.\n\nBut if you want my opinion . . . I am not very religious.\n\nJesus sacrificed himself for mankind . . . which means he had balls.\n\nAccording to the scriptures . . . New Test . . . the only way you can approach God is through Jesus Christ (which proves there is no such thing as the Trinity).\n\nAs for a new religion . . . he didn't start a new religion . . . it evolved from Judeism to Christianity . . . then someone else created Christiandom.\n\n(I know there are mispellings . . . but it is the end of the day . . . and I need to get home to my son . . . so screw spelling this time)

I hope I can help you in some small way. First, I believe that Faith is a journey each day of your life. Try to read your Bible some each day particularly the New Testament. Live your life under the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you". Pray without ceasing....you can talk to GOD anytime you want. HE is always there with you. Will you always get what you want? Of course not....for HE knows what you need. Each day notice the world around you and try to do good things for others. Thank God each day for giving you this day. Have you noticed what a perfect artist GOD is, by the way? Look at the sky, the sunset, the leaves on the trees, the snow, the animals on this earth. What beauty HE has brought to this world. Meditate and be alone with yourself and simply ask GOD for help in guiding you.  I know with all of the horrible stuff going on in this world, sometimes it is hard to have Faith in God. HE, however, did not create this mess. HE gave us free choice and, obviously, we have made many mistakes. Ask GOD to forgive all of us and to show us the way. Each day that you do this, your faith will grow but remember, as I said earlier....Faith in God is a journey til the day you die. Ask HIM to be with you now and always even if you feel like your faith is shakey sometimes. As you grow older, your faith will strengthen. GOD is GOOD and LOVING. May GOD BLESS YOU in your JOURNEY!!!!

Just to add on to the first answerer's list...\n\nhttp://www.godchecker.com\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Deities_by_association\n\nAnd ignore the crazy Christians. As usual, they don't know what they're talking about.

Try finding out what religion you most identify with by putting together what you believe is true (void of influence from any ideas other people put in your head), and their relative importance. This test can let you do that: http://www.selectsmart.com/RELIGION/\n\nOtherwise, I'd suggest a Neopagan religion. Many Neopagans take an eclectic take on faith, and piece together ideals from many different religious philosophies to define for themselves what is reasonable, rational, logical and sensible. I, myself, am an eclectic solitary Wiccan. Here is a site full of various Pagans of various paths from all around the world: http://www.witchvox.com/
