Where do you stand on the religious spectrum? I am not interested in debates as to who or what is right or wrong.  I have NEVER heard of a forum posting that has EVER changed someones mind on what they believe and I don't want this to be an instance of someone trying to be the first.

It would just be nice to know the belief systems that make up this forum  in an effort to understand  members views.

I don't know if you could classify what I believe since it changes from day to day for me sometimes I believe in God sometimes I don't. Confusion could be my belief system! But it seems to work for me so I'm ok with it. :)

My beliefs are agnostic, but my practice is Christian, Pagan, and Buddhist.

I do believe in God.  But beyond that, I just got my Philosophy.

I'm an atheist, but I get my spiritual fix from being in nature. I think connecting to something "greater" is healthy, however you choose to do so--I personally don't rail against religion or look down on people for being religious.

I guess spiritual, but my roots lie in Christianity and so my beliefs are highly affected by/based on/derived from a 'mysticalized' version of that faith. My experience is what most of my spirituality is based on, as well as my own life reflection and a lot of the personal conclusions I've arrived at.

I have many Pagan friends and have picked up some practices/beliefs from them too, though I don't consider myself Pagan. I read Tarot, for instance (I don't consider it in conflict with Christianity personally, but it seems to be much more commonly practiced, especially today, by Pagany types).

I am always right, it's the universe that has things wrong :P
Sometimes I blog things

Of course I'm sane.  When trees start talking to me, I don't talk back.

It's complicated. Agnostic, spiritual, etc. Raised Christian, still pray occasionally. Do still believe somewhat in the power of prayer. Just not sure how or why it works.

All of the above to varying extents. But I just put other. If I had to identify with a certain religion due to belief structures it would be Gnosticism.

Agnostic, so I stand at the back, near the door so I can escape if necessary.

I believe in God but don't push my beliefs on others,the world's big enough for us all.

I'm Hindu (Hare Krishna), and an agnostic theist. But because of my transsexual status, I attend the Unitarian Universalist congregation with my agnostic atheist boyfriend.

So I guess I'm Unitarian Universalist too? I'm not sure, sometimes Unitarian Universalist worship can be so boring.

I still go to temple for festivals once in a while. I still believe in Krishna, I'm vegetarian, etc. and I know that Krishna (or God; Jehovah, Allah, whatever you call Him) loves me no matter what people say. And it was through Krishna's mercy that I am who I am today. :)

I can't place myself within a religion. All I really know is that I'm not an atheist. I'm careful with what I believe in concerning afterlife, God, spirits, etc. I tend to favor scientific explanations for all things, but at the same time I will probably always have a 'religious sense' in me.
