I have some vague feeling that there might be some God that is unknowable and that all kinds of religions and belief systems (but also systems of knowledge and science) are but attempts to grasp him or to know him. Halfway between theism and atheism, but tending more towards the latter. It's what they call these days "agnostic", I guess. But I don't like tags.
I don't follow any "organized religion", nor do I find the very concept appealing to me.
I abhor all kinds of religious fundamentalisms, but I have also strong dislike for the dumbass scientistic (not scientific!) reductionist dogma, which has revived again in the last years and which tends to explain away all the complexity of the man and the universe in mechanical fashion (like genetic determinism etc).

Given that I was once a lukewarm Christian, I used to believe in a personal God- or so I thought. Then, after my travels with that religon ended and I began travels anew, I began to understand that all Gods are personal. It's only that the God of the Christians, Jehovah/Jesus, is considered real by his followers and all others are merely pretenders.
What I believe in now is that there is a divine force or an ultimate reality that can be called the Supreme God. Among mankind, it manifests accordingly, rather like how different races have different words for the same idea or concept: the sun, birth, life, warmth and so on.

I'm a polytheistic Heathen, who walks in the footsteps of my ancestors. Ultimately, I hold the power over my own fate and destiny and I refuse to be subjected to any religion that holds sway over my free will.
Having said that, however, I do receive my own brand of guidance and reassurance from my practises and it doesn't matter to me what anyone else thinks of it, because at the end of the day, I walk my own path. I'm one step closer to that great big beerhall of my forebears.

There is an essential, sublime unity of all things, which I call God. I understand polytheism and its attendant myths metaphorically or merely as great literature and raucous storytelling. I no longer consider God to be personal in the sense that he cares about my well-being. Now, I realize that every moment when this seems to have been the case, it was my own self who was responsible for this sublime uplifting (we're our own saviors, this is the truth of religion). Yet, God "lives and moves" within us as I've posted elsewhere in the forums.

I consider myself to be Agnostic, although I am a baptised Anglican. My mother's family are Anglican and my father's family are Catholic.

I am happy: I am Religionsfrei.

Baptised Orthodox (due to the trend of late 80's), raised by father atheists and mother didn't have any clue in christianity, because raised by atheists, but interested in esoteric studies. I call myself opponent of the traditional, organized, modern religions, because the only thing I see in them is weapon of mass manipulation. I'm searching the truth about the world and all facts about life existence in the ancient beliefs and traditions of my ancestors and trying to find the logic and missing links with the help of science. Yes, you can call me Pagan, but not that type of traditional, practicing Pagan. We will never know what exactly our ancestors had in mind, nor all of their real traditions, knowledge and spiritual practicing, so it is useless to follow blindly something unknown. We should try to gain the old wisdom back again and to apply it in the "modern" world, the future, since it is impossible to give back time.

I was born and raised a Catholic. I still attend a Catholic University at the moment but I voted not-religious since I do not believe in God, the teachings of the Bible etc. anymore.
