I am agnostic, I believe religion is a mystical concept and I really suck at trying to express my thoughts about my thoughts on the topic of religion. All I know is talking about religion makes me extremely uncomfortable and I generally avoid topics about religion. I have no problem with people believing (or not believing) in a specific religion.
I'm an atheist, but a lot of my friends are Christians, so I felt kind of bad that I don't believe in God and such. So, I made up my OWN religion!
It's called Nicotisme. Every time someone sees me, they must bow down and say "Hail Nick". That is all.
No, but seriously, I don't have any religious beliefs... except the fact that reincarnation MAY exist somewhat...
I'm an atheist. But I go to a private catholic college, so the vast majority of my friends are catholic or christian.
I'm a Christian, like someone else said.. kinda the typical answer but that's what I am haha (:
Most of the churches I attend around my college are non-denominational churches, but back home in California, I go mainly to a Presbyterian church. (:
A question for the americans here, is it common to visit the church every sunday? I keep seeing it in americans show but it never hit me if that's something most families do.
In Sweden it's pretty rare that we go to the church for others than a school year ending or christmas, and even then some people just don't go to church. We're pretty atheist over here.

Yes, actually. A Lot of people do go to churches on Sunday. And some churches even have a Saturday sermon.
Though there are more people who don't go to church, there are still a lot of people who do go. I would go, but the churches I like are too far away.
I'm an Idongiveashitist
A lot of people also go to church on Wednesdays as well.

Is that like an official religious thing, like Sundays, or just something that spontaneously happened?
Atheist, but if I were required to go somewhere every Sunday for it I think I'd consider switching religions.
I don't have any religious beliefs, though I do go through phases of reading up on different religions and beliefs. Religious texts are actually a fairly decent read to be honest. I just wouldn't base my beliefs round them to be honest.
I agree. There's wisdom to be found in most religions. I think that's how a lot of religions gain followers.
Christian - Lutheran (It's a lazy branch, you underatand your forgiven for anything so you don't give a shit basically) Raised into it, kind of wanted to switch for awhile, never felt right.

It's usually always a church thing. So, it depends on the church.
