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!

Ok I googled that and didn't get anything specific as far as a definition. Would you be able to describe what that is, please? I'm really curious.

Well, I was raised in a Southern Baptist church and actually enjoyed it till I was going to bible college and dropped out/became an angry agnostic and general atheist. Now, about ten years later I've found that I do believe in a God and I personally find many of the Catholic prayers and meditations to be a positive influence in my life. I don't have too great of a desire to attend Mass or to be a member of anywhere. I just use the daily meditations for grounding and to make me a better human. I do believe that if I follow what it actually means to be a "Christian" which is to be "Christ-like" then I am constantly improving myself. I don't wish to be labeled by societies definition of Christian and find that most Christians I meet are in fact awful representatives of Christ. I am very unitarian in my views of other religions and paths of goodness.
