Which Religion Do You Follow?

[Left Coast]

I put out one of these polls a few years ago and thought it would be interesting to see if and how the demographics around here may have changed.

So, which religion do you follow? I'd love to know if there is a particular denomination or church or sect or other specific version of the religion you belong to as well. Were you raised in that faith? Did you convert at some point? Or deconvert perhaps?

Thanks for your input!

Contemporary Paganism -> Druidry -> Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids flavored

In some ways, it'd convey what I do better to call it a reconstructed indigenous polytheistic/animistic religion. Druidry appealed to me because it is an acceptable way for a colonialist child to connect with the land and avoid stepping on the surviving indigenous traditions here.

which religion do you follow?

Buddhism

a particular denomination or church or sect or other specific version

Soto Zen

Were you raised in that faith?

No.

Did you convert at some point?

Can you convert from nothing?
My parents were typical UK Christians - went to church for Christenings, marriages and funerals & wouldn't know one end of a Bible from the other.

Hindu, general. No sect.

I went from Pagan to Hindu in my early 30s.

None

Church of England. Left church when i was 14, over about 2 years i read the bible and became atheist.

Solitary eclectic sort of pagan/neopagan animism...

Zen but it really follows you. ;0)

I voted "None." Although in a previous thread, I suggested the term "unaffiliated" instead of "none." Or maybe "footloose and fancy-free" would be my choice, if that was available.

I'll consider it in my next poll, maybe 2-3 years from now.

I didn’t vote in the poll because I don’t consider trusting and following Jesus Christ to be practicing a religion. I realize those who don’t believe in or know Jesus as their Savior look at Christianity as just another religion and even some professing Christians or institutions have presented that image. I don’t think religion is what the biblical scriptures intend or God desires, but rather an eternal loving relationship with the Creator.

Orthodoxy.

edit: the atheists will win the poll because of the bias of the regulars here - poor souls

Thanks, brother. I wanted to give your post a but I am not used to this swanky new design of the site and do not know how to do it.

I don’t know if you are serious or or joking, but not necessary to add to the poll. Just thought I’d express my thoughts.

It's okay, no one does! We just pretend like we do.

But seriously: hold down the Like button and other options should appear.

I meant more like, in my head I'll bear in mind that you'd add one to the Christianity choice.
