I'm a Christian (I'm part of the Foursquare denomination, which is pretty much just like Baptist).

Philosophically, I would have to say mostly Buddhist, but I don't feel the need to follow any particular practice. From a Christian point of view I think I would be considered atheist because I utterly reject the Christian concept of a personal god. But I feel pretty comfortable with the idea of a universe that encapsulates its sort of intelligence and self-direction. If you're really curious, I almost agree with the ideas in the book "The Self-Aware Universe" Sort of a pantheism based on quantum physics. No really, it all makes sense if you actually dig into it.

Atheist. Used to practice Judaism many years ago. When people ask me, I saw I'm Jewish, 'cause atheism doesn't seem socially acceptable in the U.S. The deception is pretty easy; I still remember most things I studied.

Christian. Mostly Roman Catholic sometimes non denominational (Bible)

That is if I do go to church. I rarely do anymore. Mostly because its either too early for me or I just forget. I occationally listen to CCM (Constemprary Christian) music to make up for iit. Either that or listen to the Catholic radio station (Relevant Radio 1550/820/100.1)

So guess you could call me Christian. But I guess you can call me anything since I believe anything is possible.

I was baptised Russian Orthodox, and raised that way, however the last time I set foot in an actual Orthodox church for worship was well over 20 years ago. In that time I've essentially has a falling out with the most basic concepts of Christianity as being completely at odds with logic. --IE, that Jesus was actually 'God made Flesh' and that when he was killed he rose from the grave, etc,etc...ad nauseam.

That being said, I like a lot of the concepts that are espoused by the other two main branches of the Abrahamic beliefs, but I find that Islam has been hijacked by a very loud, and very powerful Wahabbi minority.--It really puts me off. Judaism is a bit more appealing than Islam because it's a bit more mature, and more stable, however I really don't see the need to rush out and conform myself to it's traditions.

I've also taken interest in several Pagan beliefs, but again nothing has really impressed me enough to consider any major conversion.--I'm too culturally eclectic to truly adhere to any particular one of these beliefs. Furthermore, I also value the more primitivistic forms of Animism.

Eastern Philosophies such as Buddhism and Taoism also have their appeal,
and I take some of my beliefs from them, but again, I find nothing that really warrants believing in them exclusively.

So again, what Religion am I? I really follow none at all, though I don't reject out of hand the possibility of a greater spiritual force. I suppose in an outward sense the term "agnostic" fits, though I remain unclassifiable.

I'm a Christian, but not with any particular denomination. I also have friends who have several different belief systems: Protestant Christian (like me), Roman Catholic, traditional Jewish, Messaianic Jewish, agnostic, atheist, non-commital and pagan, as well as Mormon.

However, one of the most interesting philosophies I've heard is of a friend who is a Christain, but believes several of the Buddhist-type ideas. He's definately not Buddhist, but it's a little bit different than most people.

Agnostic... I don't know if there is a God, and I don't see any human being being able to prove it either.

Some person once tried to convince me that there has been proof of a god, and he explained me all this complicated maths and comparing to the bible but I didn't understand what on earth he was talking about.
