How Religious are you (Revised)

[Young Conservative]

Revised and improved

[dead0man]

not really

[White Trash]

Yes, somewhat. I attend Mass once a month and pray only on occasion.

[Lachi]

Again, Athiest.

[Santander]

Devout, although that word may have a different meaning to me than to others.

[Lexii, harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy]

Again, Athiest.

[Figueira]

A mix of options 3 and 5, but mostly 3.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Somewhat.

[user12345]

Attend church 3 times a month, go to a Christian school, pray daily, voted somewhat.

[Illiniwek]

Yes, somewhere between somewhat and devout. I am devout, but I am also lazy and forgetful.

[Blue3]

I'm devout to my beliefs, but I'm not a fan of organized religion, so I put "somewhat."

[Sir Mohamed]

Not really. I think religion can teach some values, but have reservations about the church as an institution (or mosques in my case). I do, however, strongly believe in science and the evolution. I don't follow religious traditions that much since I am an adult.

[RINO Tom]

Eh, sounds cliche, but this is a topic I'm especially weary of labels with.  I believe in a higher power, and I've really enjoyed my personal journey of examining whether or not this higher intelligence I'm pretty sure I believe exists can jive with the story of Christ.  I feel a personal connection to Lutheranism.  I go to church on Christmas Eve and Easter, largely out of family tradition, but I do feel good after going.

ExtremeRepublican would probably call me an atheist, and bedstbuy or whatever would probably find me indistinguishable from the other non-atheists, and I'm fine with that spot on the spectrum.

I answered "Yes, somewhat."  All I'm sure of is that I'm not an atheist and that I've felt an indescribable attachment to the idea of a personal God that goes beyond "it feels good to believe," and I'm more than willing to explore that throughout my life.

[politicallefty]

I don't know, honestly. I feel like I'm in some sort of religious/spiritual crisis in my life. I've never been religious, but I always sort of had a tentative belief in God (i.e. agnostic, but leaning more towards theism). I'm at a point in my life right now where literally everything is going wrong. Praying to God has accomplished nothing and everything keeps getting worse. I cannot and will not believe in that sort of God. I'm far closer to atheism now than ever.

[Green Line]

I've really been struggling with my religion in the past couple of weeks or months.  I really, really want to believe.  It gives me comfort to believe in God, but lately I've been thinking about it a lot and I'm just not buying the idea of Heaven and Hell and all that.  I think there must be something that created us, like a higher power, but Im not sure if its something that cares enough to give us an afterlife and I don't think I'm ever going to find out anyway.

I still identify as Catholic, but it's been difficult lately.  I'm hoping in the next couple months to really get serious about my faith and reconnect.  I dont try to to think about it a lot because it brings me down, and I'm generally a happy person.

[°Leprechaun]

It's too bad that in the US there are so few alternatives to Christianity.

Overall I would say no. Any of the last three options could perhaps apply to me but I will vote "no, not really".

[Mr. Smith]

Somewhat.

[JA]

No, not at all.

My family was from a Protestant background, but I've only been to church a handful of times and there was virtually no religiosity at home. I've read some of the Bible when I tried to learn about Christianity as I explored my spirituality a couple years ago, but it never really "clicked" with me. So, I've never had any sort of religious experience, never pray, don't really believe in any higher power, and, honestly, find even common Christian religious practices pretty foreign. Personally, I quite like the beauty of religiously inspired art, architecture, holidays, traditions, and many of its moral teachings, but aside from that, I find it rather pointless.

As for spirituality, I don't have much of an opinion on that. I've never had any spiritual experiences, but I don't simply dismiss the alleged experiences of others. It's quite likely that there is some higher plane of existence, but I don't know anything about it and am pretty much indifferent to it.

[Cruzcrew]

Devout. I attend church weekly and pray daily.

[RFayette]

Devout. I attend church weekly and pray daily.

[World politics is up Schmitt creek]

I don't want to self-describe as 'devout' because my inner spiritual life is actually kind of a listless mess a lot of the time, but I go to church weekly, pray daily, and am getting a master's in theology.

[Ronnie]

I have nothing against people who believe, but I do not.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

I am probably somewhere in between the "Devout" and "Somewhat" Options. I go to church close to weekly, pray/read the word at least fairly regularly, and participate in organized religion in College, but I have no intention of ever becoming a pastor or permanent missionary, nor do I consider myself evangelical. Also, while I don't personally see my old-earth beliefs or support for female pastors as anything that makes me a "weaker" christian, I know there are those who would think otherwise.

[Xing]

Not at all.

[SATW]

Somewhat, I guess. I'm not comfortable calling myself religious in any sense of the term because there are many more people who have done more to call themselves religious.

I hold most major Jewish holidays, and I strongly believe in Rabbinic Judaism (and by default oppose other forms of Judaism, say Karaite Judaism and other forms that oppose Oral Torah as a major aspect of Judaism).

However, I am not observant in most cases. I recently started wrapping tefillin every day that I am supposed too. Before that I did it a few times a month for about 4 years.

I stopped mixing meat and diary for major meals recently. Though, I do this in a more kosher style way then a kosher way (i.e. I won't mix cheese and meat but I won't wait the 6 hours in between meals).

I stopped eating pork cold turkey in September 2014 (with a few accidental relapses but none since 2015, I believe), but I still eat shrimp and crab. I love shrimp too much!

I don't hold shabbat or immerse myself in prayer books. I'm very secular in both of those regards. I have held shabbat a few times and it's cool but I doubt I could ever do it permanently and consistently.  

I love going to synagogue to one specific organization but I prefer going for more of the social and cultural Jewish aspect. When I feel like immersing myself in Judaism on a deeply religious level I usually like meeting with a Rabbi one-on-one.

Denomination wise: In between Conservative Judaism and Orthodox Judaism. Theologically, I believe in Orthodox Judaism, but I act like a moderate Jew (aka Conservative Judaism). I've been too partial Reform services, a few Conservative services, many orthodox services (mostly hasidic/haredi but some modern orthodox as well). So I've experienced the three main groupings of Judaism.

I don't like labeling myself with denominations. A Jew is a Jew and Jewish achdut - Jewish unity - is more important to me then a denomination.
