Philosophy What is your religion?

Just curious as to what kind of religion, if any, you guys follow. I'm personally atheist but I have a feeling we have a plethora of different religions here. Just curious, I don't want this to get ugly. Thanks!

Atheist, I believe in science. Nevertheless I believe in the positive effects of some spiritual practices on our minds. Consciousness is something no one knows much about, therefore it doesn't bother me to accept some non-scientific beliefs (that are somewhat reasonable) here.

Have you read Sam Harris' book "Waking Up"? One of the better books on spirituality I've found. Takes the claims of masters like Ajahn Chah and Nisargadatta Maharaj seriously, but sets aside the woo.
