How many here believe in God, how many here are atheist/agnostic, etc. . .

I think this question would be better suited for the Spirituality section, but yes, I do believe in God. 

Are you just trying to conduct an informal poll or was there some sort of follow-up question/topic? There's a whole lot lumped into that "etc".

I don't, and identify as an atheist.

^agree^  the number of believe systems are in the thousands.  From, no way god exists to hundreds of gods, to the life system as a whole being the "god", to people can become gods.  Yes the etc. is ginormous, and incredibly entertaining and interesting.
To answer your question; hard for me to believe this is all by chance, also hard for me to believe that a "great power" of some sort loves us and wants the best for us.  This is mostly to chance but something had to put the chicken and noodles together to make soup and there is definitely a hand " stirring the fishbowl" from time to time.  A god as most define it, no.

I don't know.  The universe is vast, the multiverse infinite.  Given unlimited possibilities complexity, life, even us is inevitable.  A creator is too limited a concept in the traditional pantheon of peoples beliefs.

I do believe in something like spirit.  I think it is an inevitable feature of consciousness, and that this is where transcendence comes from.  It doesn't have to persist past the end of life, but there is something inside of everyone I have ever met that is greater than the sum of their parts.

Call it grace or whatever works for you, but this is where I find strength in darkness, and joy in light.  It is manifest in the smiles of babies, the eyes of lovers, and it is the look my dog gives me when I come home.  I think it is what the essence is of being human, being aware.

Peace,
Julie

Ahhaha yeah and I love your fav quotes :3 #Disneygals

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, you know, i'm on the fence with this one. lol

I believe in the existence of God. Just look around you and see the beautiful beings the Creator creates. I don't believe in any of the organized religions. To me they seem to be man made. Look at a beautiful flower and wonder how it got here. Outer Space by looking at the stars at night. There are so many beautiful things. When in trouble God will help you out. By the way, no ones knows if God is male or female.

There is "neither man not woman in Christ" quote from the bible
Christ is Neither Gender

I believe we create our own reality through perception, therefore any god we choose to pray to exists within our own perceived reality and within ourselves as they are created through our own perception

I believe in math and physics and funny cat videos. And trees and words and music and the broccoli in my ramen and the smell of a guy's skin filtered through his button-up business shirt. I believe in almonds and astronomy and nostalgia and chemistry. I don't believe in god, but it seems unfair to just say I'm an atheist. All the stuff I care about carries the same meaning and importance as god, just averaged out across a lot of concepts and experiences.

I believe god exists, but as to whether it is a supernatural entity or not I can't say. As long as some people are governed by what they see as their God['s] will, it doesn't matter whether that God is divine or not, because through that believer its will is imposed.

Yes, I believe in God.

Yes I believe in God or a Creator but I believe the same is uncomprehensible in the human brain and mind and therefore leads to all the strife we see connected to religions and just the sheer amounts of religions.
