This really is a poll in the truest sense of the word. No debate here. But where do you fall or align yourself? Obviously I had to stop the poll somewhere once I had grown to over 10 choices.
I consider myself to be.... (Question of the Day - 8-30-10)
" I'm an Atheist, but my girlfriend's a Wiccan. We work very well together. "Wow really? Cause that would go against all she believes (Wiccan is as multi-God/Spirit as they come). Not that two religions can't mix, my sister is currently dating a Jehova's Witness and she's a Christian. But very rarely do they work out fully or over the long term unless you can really agree to disagree.
We've been together for 3.5 years, so take that as you will. It's somewhat inaccurate to say I'm an atheist, as that means I would qualify myself as having a religion, which Atheism most certainly is. I never went to the atheist meetings that my old roommates went to because I don't follow organized belief systems. It's not my thing."Wow really? Cause that would go against all she believes (Wiccan is as multi-God/Spirit as they come). Not that two religions can't mix, my sister is currently dating a Jehova's Witness and she's a Christian. But very rarely do they work out fully or over the long term unless you can really agree to disagree. "
So under that vein, I respect people who do have belief systems, because that's their choice, and it's what works for them. Likewise, my girlfriend does the same, because she's also aware of that.
We work well together because of our diversity and our understanding of human nature.

" I'm a Christian, So many atheists on these forums. "I've said this before in other threads but I'll say it again. The average Giant Bomb user is between the ages of 18 and 23, lives in the United Kingdom, owns an Xbox 360 but had a PS2 at one time, and is Agnostic.
No country is completely atheist." Athiest or Agnostic. And for people who say things like America needs religion, just remember that many of the countries with the highest qualities of life are completely atheist. "
D. People can believe whatever they want, more power to them. Just don't go preaching to me at all, doesn't interest me.
Most of the countries in the western world that have far more religious people than any other have the lowest qualities of life some of those countries in Europe where the majority are non believers have the highest qualities of life. America is one of the most religious western countries, and we are also behind most when it comes to quality of life.
I know, I'm from godless socialist Sweden, where kindergardeners perform sodomy on each other and having an abortion is considered a massage. But we still have a religious minority, as do the rest of Scandinavia and anywhere else you might be referring to." @TheSeductiveMoose: Most of the countries in the western world that have far more religious people than any other have the lowest qualities of life some of those countries in Europe where the majority are non believers have the highest qualities of life.

Agnostic atheist. I don't believe in any sort of god or spirits or fairies or that my dog is the reincarnation of Julius Caesar, but to say that these things aren't true is unfalsifiable, and therefore unscientific. I want no part in it.

And i wasn't ragging on America because i would most likely never leave the country, i was just proving a point that religion is not necessarily as "needed" as people think, Religion still effects politics in this country a lot.

No problem.
Also the same arguement could be turned around, i guess the "Mindset" of the people is what really matters, A heavily religious country can sometimes prosper too. I mean because America is mostly religious but we hardly ban stuff and do a shitload of other dirty/slutty/godless things D: while countries in the middle on the other hand........
I am also amazed that America gets away with doing so much shit and being so religious, its astonishing........GO WESTERN CIVILIZATION! i guess?
i am athiest until the point someone beats stephen fry in an argument about religion, so i'll always be athiest then
Was a Catholic till high school now I'm a sophomore in college, and just don't care so basically Atheist
