Orthodox by tradition. Perhaps you could call it agnosticism. I practice, but the belief part is personal so I don't like to talk about it.

I voted Anglican but for tribal more than theological reasons. "Christian Agnostic" would be the best description of my views and I have found Catholic writers much more interesting lately. The current Anglican leadership have talked themselves into a lot of nonsense, unlike the current Pope who makes a lot of sense.

Still, I am Anglican/Church of Ireland mostly for cultural reasons. That is the team my family chose 350 years ago and you cannot change your jersey after the whistle blows.

I've heard some of the adepts to it claiming that it is not. But then again.. edit it and remove the option. No one has voted it anyway.

The problem with calling oneself pagan is being associated with the crazy Wiccans who are completely and utterly retarded and people like Pagandawn who don't exactly do enough research or just use it for political means only...

It is technically paganism (in the umbrella term way) but.. as I said, being called stupid because of association with Wiccans is never fun.

My family usually forgets.

They aren't really religious but my father was baptized into the Protestant church I think and my mother wasn't at all. But we never have gone to church nor have my parents lectured me on god. They just go "eh, her choice". (I wish they'd do this in other things too.. )

I'm an agnostic atheist or weak atheist so I voted for agnosticism. I don't believe in a god, but I also don't think that my (non-)belief necessarily coincides with the truth. I feel comfortable being non-religious and the only reason I go into churches is to admire the architecture or listen to the choirs.

The words of theologian/philosopher Robert Flint best describe my view:
Quote:
If a man has failed to find any good reason for believing that there is a God, it is perfectly natural and rational that he should not believe that there is a God; and if so, he is an atheist... if he goes farther, and, after an investigation into the nature and reach of human knowledge, ending in the conclusion that the existence of God is incapable of proof, cease to believe in it on the ground that he cannot know it to be true, he is an agnostic and also an atheist - an agnostic-atheist - an atheist because an agnostic... while, then, it is erroneous to identify agnosticism and atheism, it is equally erroneous so to separate them as if the one were exclusive of the other...
[Agnosticism: the Croall Lecture, 1887-1888. William Blackwood and Sons, 1903]

I've chosen paganism, although this term is very stupid, as for me.

Our faith - Slavyanskoye Rodnoveriye (in Russian it means "native faith of Slavs") - is not paganism, it's just native faith of Slavs
The true Indo-European faith as compared to Christianity

Traditionalist catholic with a cultural interest for roman, celtic and german paganism. Great appreciation for Homer tales of GOdds and goddesses. It doesn\'t make a pagan out of me but I as a child used to feel them occasionally as true.
