I was thinking about different perspectives on religion, and I began to wonder what you all defined yourselves as in terms of your theology or lack thereof - that is, if you have a definition of yourself in this capacity.
I'm not sure I do - I have always sort of believed in God in the sense that I was exposed to many different religions growing up, thus I've always understood that the concept of 'God' is interpreted in many ways, but I would say I had a relatively clear sense that whatever "it" was, it definitely existed.
I never questioned the existence of a supernatural being (for lack of a better term) until relatively recently, more because I wanted to believe in the ideas I'd grown up with than because I had any deeply held belief in something.
Anyway, I consider myself agnostic these days, but I was wondering about others in this group? What do you consider yourself to be? Or what are your thoughts on the idea of religion, etc.?
I was brought up Christian. Although I have studied other religions, it's still the one that makes the most sense to me. Christianity has a pretty bad reputation at the moment, and that makes me sad because a lot of the reputation (especially in the US) stems from a lack of understanding of what Christianity is supposed to be (both from believers and non-believers).
