Ex-Wiccan (various reasons, didn't like the historic connections). I'm now in a bit of a limbo, just eclectic pagan really, no magick (not rituals anyway). Love Gaia (the goddess lol) and Artemis. Also have a bit of a soft spot for Eris's mischievious randomness, as well as Bastet, Freya, Isis, Ganesh, and the Christian God. Mostly though, my main deities are Gaia and Artemis.
I believe that deity is a genderless force that permeates all and has certain forms that humans relate to it by. I also believe that everybody is right (as truth is an opinion), however I take care to stick to my morals.

Kylies Samurai nondenominational christian.... most likely the only one here 3nodding I'm a non-denom Christian as well...and a Christian Witch. I was raised in the Nazarene faith, and still carry a good many of their beliefs, but am trying to discard some of the aspects of that particular facet of Christianity that I disagree with. I believe that all life is sacred, as it all retains a residual creational force (a.k.a. 'energy') and therefore should be respected and not-abused. This doesn't mean that I am a vegetarian, however, as I believe that God/dess placed the food that (s)he wanted us to eat in front of us. I do, however disagree with the rampant hunting of animals, for reasons other than to control the animals population. As to why I say God/dess, I believe that the Christian triune God is genderless, and therefore encompasses both genders. Jesus is masculine, the Holy Spirit (the comforter) is feminine, and 'God' (for lack of a better descriptior) the Creator is both masculine and feminine, and therefore can be addressed as both .

Buddhist Hindu, or maybe the other way around. Either way, I mix both religions, seeing as neither really works for me by itself. Although, thanks to the fact that I follow Yogananda's lineage, I'm probably influenced to a degree by most religions, especially since I study them all.

My mom knows, and out of my church, she;s the only one, I believe.

I'm neo-pagan. I was raised Christian, though I never believed in the faith. My close friends know, but outside of that, barely anyone. I can't really, since I still have to go to a Christian school. It would be like suicide if word got out to my incredibly-set-in-her-ways-follow-the-bible-exactly principal that I am neo-pagan. sweatdrop

linafalcon I believe in a Native American based religion. Shamanism? As for me, I'm Pagan with some Buddhist beliefs mixed in. I may convert entirely to Buddhism. I haven't decided yet.

Atheist, although I tried many different ones for a while. I found it too hard to believe in a deity.

Catholic.
However, I dabbled in many religions, and follow the principles of some. (Like the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism.)
