I consider myself an agnostic but my views come up Neo Pagan which is very fitting. It gives you a breakdown of what percentage you agree with a group. Not surprisingly Jehovah Witness and other strict Christianity religions come up very low on my chart.

1. Neo-Pagan (100%)
2. New Age (93%)
3. Unitarian Universalism (90%)
4. Liberal Quakers (83%)
5. New Thought (83%)
6. Scientology (68%)
7. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (68%)
8. Secular Humanism (65%)
9. Mahayana Buddhism (65%)
10. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (63%)
11. Taoism (57%)
12. Reform Judaism (56%)
13. Theravada Buddhism (51%)
14. Sikhism (46%)
15. Nontheist (45%)
16. Baha'i Faith (43%)
17. Hinduism (40%)
18. Orthodox Quaker (30%)
19. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (21%)
20. Orthodox Judaism (21%)
21. Jainism (18%)
22. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (16%)
23. Eastern Orthodox (12%)
24. Islam (12%)
25. Roman Catholic (12%)

You're welcome. Our views are pretty similar.

Interesting to me, personally, that I was raised in a fairly strict Irish Catholic family - catholic schools, daily mass, weekly confession, a grandmother that I lived with whom I honestly never saw without a rosary in her hands, the whole 9 yards....and yet Roman Catholic was 26 out of 27 on my scoring.

How 'bout the rest of you? Did you end up anything close to what you grew up as?

Well my father is an atheist, and my mother is agnostic tending towards Protestant. My maternal Grandparents was a Catholic/Protestant marriage and as far as im aware they stopped going to Church (Church of England I think) when my mother was a child. My other Grandparents were Protestants but i don't think they went to Church as adults.

Myself i have been an atheist as long as i can remember, i was baptised (Church of Scotland) but as with most in the UK it was more of a celebration of my birth rather than any religious thing and a few years ago i renounced my baptisation and have the certificate saying so proudly on a wall. In terms of going to church i can only think of 6 occasions. Aforementined baptisation, 3 funerals, 1 wedding and when i was 16 i spent a few weeks of 'work experience' in a Catholic school and i had to take the children to Church one morning.

To be honest, that last experience was horrible. Seeing these young minds being told beliefs as facts when they are too young to form any logical, reasoned opinion was one of the strongest convictions i have ever had of my beliefs.

ROFLMAO

I had all 3 of my kids baptized Catholic - but never really raised them that way. No church, certainly no catholic school and only my oldest son made his communion.

He's married to a Catholic girl, one who really doesn't practice her religion much, (ie: goes to church on Easter and Christmas and that's about it) but she's adamant that her kids go to Catholic school and be raised as Catholic. Her mother is very Catholic and she spends alot of time telling the kids "church stuff." My son is disturbed by it, but wants to keep the peace and all.

My main gripe is that they scare the heck outa children. I grew up in abject fear for the most part, convinced that every thing I did was a sin of some sort and if I didn't confess it immediately I'd rot in hell for all eternity. How bad can a 7 year old introverted skinny girl be???? How bad can any 7 year old be???

I like God. I like the idea of God. I think He's everywhere - but I like Him much better at the beach on Tuesday at sunrise than I do in church on Sunday or in Temple on the Sabbath.

It's my opinion that He likes me better on the beach, too. It's much more peaceful and not nearly so hypocritical.

Ditto on everything you said and Catholic was at the bottom of my list too.
