Nah, I just don't give a shit. If I came off as thinking they were superior, it's cause I'm drunk.
I honestly don't give a shit. I treat all religion with equal disdain.

I was born and raised a Catholic but I gave up the faith long ago. I would say I loosely associate with Celtic Paganism/Christianity. There is a long history in Celtic lands of the mixing and merging of the old and new religion and those practices have had the most impact on me. I see much the same thing in a wide spectrum of cultures around the world but the Celtic is where I feel most at home, due to ancestry no doubt.
I think Maslow was right on the mark with his ideas on Peak Experience, its when an individual finds themselves in the presence of the "Numinous", this is the real basis of religion/spirituality. A direct encounter with God/Goddess/Gaia or whatever name you want to give it.
In my life I've had that happen twice, and it's the reason why I cannot honestly consider myself an atheist although I have a strong dislike for all organized religion. I was not under the influence of any psychedelics in either case, and I hope to not have such experiences ever again. Those experiences were jarring to me, not even remotely pleasant and hard to come to grips with. But they left with me with the impression that there is more to the world, to a person's life then meets the eye. I don't reject anyone's spirituality out of hand, though I would be much more comfortable with a purely rational/scientific view of the world my experience tells me thats not the whole story of being.

Gnosticism as a coherent explanation of the nature of the universe.
Buddhism as a means to make peace with the Gnostic explanation...
I don't really believe in tethering myself to a religion, though, they all have something to offer.

Most likely Taoist, Shaman or Pagan.
Though there are times where I feel christian, muslim, jewish, hare krishna or buddhist, but for the most part, I identify as taoist, shaman or pagan or a combination thereof.

I'm a devout follower of the Church of the FSM. I've been touched by his noodly appendage and it has saved me. If I had to choose a "real" label, I guess agnostic would fit. I don't know exactly how or why the Universe is here, and I've yet to see evidence compelling enough to rally behind someone else's explanation, but I'm willing to listen.

I do not believe in religion, but I am pro-religious.
Religion as structure, as organization, as philosophy, as knowledge, no.
But religiousness, the authentic process, the body as temple, the practice, the mystery, yes.

Ummm...I don't know. I consider myself agnostic because I don't like making assumptions. Because I don't really know, and neither does anyone else. My family is catholic though, so I guess thats the religion I am most associated with, although I don't believe in 95% of it and I haven't been to a church in over 10 years.
Oh darn , I just gave away that I am not really a racist Christian Jesus freak.
I will still be role playing a racist Christian Jesus freak though.

A VERY ANNOYING hippie on irc who constantly talked about his religion told me he was sikh/hindu/rastafarian/shamanistic. He was serious too.

I made a couple polls about this subject a while back. The first one got a lot more hits, but here's the latter, more extensive one:

I eat drugs and talk to archetypes. I have no religion because there is no believing involved. It is very confusing and I have no answers. I prefer the lack of answers to any kind of faith however.
