I'm agnostic for the moment, mostly open to anything. However, a certain branch of church in Christianity, Unitarian, I agree with the most in the sense of their core beliefs. What's yours?

I'm agnostic, though that's more a byproduct of my belief system... I'm a truth-seeker, first and foremost. My entire personality and almost every thing I value is molded around being a person capable of doing just that.

Eclectic Polytheist. I don't worship though. I count the gods as allies/friends in what I do. If they breach our friendship however, I withdraw my support.

Give and take relationship if you will.

I was wiccan. Then I took on the family tradition and now studying to be Cherokee Native American Medicine Man.

Christian. =]
My church has home group meetings. <3
I'm very open-minded and, mostly, quite tolerant.
I love to read up on the occult and different religions, even if I completely disagree with them.
(I'm a natural researcher -- a self-declared "historian and anthropologist" without a fancy degree and thesis declaring myself as such)

At the moment, I don't know what to believe in. Everyone in my family is a Christian except for my mother, who I believe worships Satan.

I finally decided (or maybe it was decided for me) to follow the path of Heathenry. I'm still learning about it, but it feels right to me, so I'm going with it. I plan on incorporating witchcraft into my path as well, with a...I guess a focus on divination. I just bought myself a set of runes today, and hopefully I'll be getting a new Tarot deck for my birthday.

@flauterfli: What do you mean home group meetings? Like you all meet in someone's house to worship? That sounds wonderful. ^_^ I have a friend who is also very, very Christian and loves to learn about other religions; I think it's worldly of you both to do so. Understanding the beliefs of the rest of the world is, I think, really important to be able to live peacefully in our world.

Yup.
My boyfriend's parents host a meeting at their house every Sunday evenings. His father and another man preach. They're funny. : D
Once a month all the different groups in the local area gather at a hotel for a big worship group.
It's more casual (I still dress up because I like to, hehe~) and personal than larger churches in massive estates.
Everyone can seek personal prayer individually and have their turn to speak. It's quite nice. = )
(and their cute little Cavalier puppy can join in on the meetings if he behaves <33)

Wow, that's really awesome. That's such a good idea, especially in times when the community is experiencing hardship. It sounds like you have a really wonderful religious community.

I'm a Baptist but I've noticed that most of my thoughts and personal beliefs are more Unitarian. XD

have you ever heard of Chaos Magic? it's a sort of Occult Philosophical Magical Movement. some good names to lookup are

~ Austin Osmin Spare
~ Aleister Crowley
~ Peter J. Carrol

those are the ones i can think of off the top of my head.

the Movement tends to go by the title of the Illuminated Order of Thanateros. it;s quite an interesting Practice, to be sure. i encourage you to look up Chaos Magic. smile
