Well I do call myself a wiccan but it is by Blood only. My family left the wiccan life way before i was born but, I do have wiccan blood. I was rasied a cathlic untill i moved out on my own. So the questions from me to anyone who can answer them is. What do you do when You don't fully know about Relgion and how do you pratice it?

You find a religion whose logic seems to match the world around you. I can't tell you about anything else, but becoming a Christian is easy: You pray the prayer of salvation and find a church where you feel at home.

Why yes, yes as a matter of fact I am religious.
It's true. I'm religious.

I wouldn't say I am religious because I live each day without the worries of sinning or striving to do good. I don't feel confined to act or do things a certain way or worry about praying or worshipping anything on a day to day basis.

I'm a non- practicing member I guess. I consider myself a religious person if I could find a religion to follow that I agree with.

Nope, not religious. I do think I 'get' religion in a way that some atheists don't but I now refrain from saying I'm spiritual because some people interpret that as embracing some kind of metaphysical dualism. And I'm not really a dualist.

If by religious you mean "full of religion" then sort of... If you mean belonging to a religion then no, if you mean any of the definitions previously mentioned then I'm no entirely sure...

Since i acknowledge the existance of God, i am Religous.
BUT, as i see it, God accepts all, or at least most, other religions, as well as science & Atheism.
The point isn't praying to God, the point is being good to other people.

As such, i have to question even my own beliefs, but my Faith never seems to falter.
Notice that i consider "Belief" and "Faith".
Belief may be what you think is true,
Faith is faith in the Mercy, Compassion, and Love of God.
Oh, and why the World is as it is?
God can be cruel.

I see religion as a set of rules you have to follow to get to "paradise" in one form or another. I am Christian and I don't call myself religious because the set of rules I have in front of me, sadly I have broken and by their own rules I can't go to heaven, but that's why Jesus died, and I follow these rules not because I have to but because I want to for the sacrifice that was made in my stead.
That said, I would say that most others who claim to be Christians are religious, and therefor sadly mistaken.
