Non-religious.

Don't know why you'd be worried this might offend someone.

You should have included more options.  I can't say nonreligious, so I have to choose "somewhat," but I would rather choose an option between those two.

I'm gradually becoming less and less religious.

Somewhere between "somewhat" and "not at all", as Harry.

It’s kinda a misguided question since Christianity was not intended to be a religion; rather it was intended to replace religion.

Non-religious. I'm an agnostic, where I realize there is no way to know if god exists.

However, I believe religious texts and stories are symbolic of ways people should live their lives (minus the gay thing, which I think was misinterpreted).

Wow... apart from not even being accurate, that is a load of sophist bullsh**t, if ever I have heard of any.

Well, I think you’re simply objecting to my choice of semantics

But, if one defines being religious as someone following non-instinctive actions based upon a set of instructions, and if one defines non-religious as someone following what is instinctive in their nature…then my statement is correct, for Christ did not come to earth to establish a new set of laws (instructions), rather he came to earth to change the nature of man so that the requirements of the law are met naturally.

The Law of Moses is a perfect example of “religion” – it attempts to alter predisposed behavior through human effort, which is why it is powerless.  But, through Christ, we are given a new nature so that we are predisposed to do good and need not a set of requirements since the requirements are written on our hearts.

Somewhat, but I'm finding it less relevant in my life.

I just stumbled onto this poll.

I checked off very religious.  But I do prefer to think of my faith as a way of life and a relationship, rather than a religion.  In truth, it is all that, of course.

Looking for a path, not interested in what exists...

So, in practice, I could say non-religious at all, because I don't follow an existing path, but I try to act in coherence with the elements of path that I search/find...

Euh...is that clear?
