What religion or non are you?

Post Reply New Topic

Basically, wondering what a glance at religious or non-religious denominations are prevalent among aspies/auties (NT's please answer for those you're here for, such as your children/studens/SO's). I have some estimates, but I'm just curious if any of them coincide with actualities.

(PS, I'm not sure if there is a thread on this yet, but as there isn't a real search function and browsing through hundreds of pages of topics sounds like a lot of a work and this is much easier, I decided to do this instead.)

UPDATE [29 Oct]: I can't edit the original poll, so the option for Secular Humanism (as identified in pages 1-4) I apologize for not placing into the poll.

UPDATE [29 Oct]: These were my original estimates (guesses) as to what I would see with this. NOTE these are just my personal guesses and are quite likely (most likely in fact) quite wrong. The entire reason I did the poll was to see how correct, if correct at all, my guess would be.

Christianity: 33%
Buddhism: 7%
Islam: 1%
Hindu: 1%
Taoism: 0%
Shinto: 0%
Wiccan: 2%
Pagan: 3%
Atheism: 30%
Agnostic:20%
Scientology: 0%
Sikhism: 0%
Other: 3%

And so far my guesses are wrong ^_^

I'm Christian, more specifically, Episcopalian.

I am a slave of Yeshua-Ben-YHWH.

"Denomination" has very little importance to me. Although I would prefer the order of more ritual based orders, such as the Church of Rome.

I classify the Roman Mythology under Paganism myself. I'm sorry I didn't specify the defintion of Pagan. Basically any of the former major religions of the world that were stamped out by the current major religions. Such as animism, roman/greek/egyptian/norse/incan/mayan/celtic mythology, and any combinations of such.

I'm an atheist, but preferred to define my belief negatively as 'NOT believing that there is a god', but rather 'believing that there is no god'.

Of late, however, while I still call myself an atheist, I have wondered if that which others refer to as God or gods isn't something that in fact is present in my world and my experience of the world as well, but which maybe I call by another name. But I don't have a lot of people I can talk to about religion or philosophy and I'm ill-equipped to discuss it on-line because of my long-time lack of interest in the subject, so until I expand on my social interactions, my ideas about how the world around me ticks, are in beginning stages.

Also, Vyn, there's a subforum dedicated to religion and philosophy, somewhere toward the bottom of the main forum page; as you're relatively new here, you might have missed it. But it's okay to have this topic in the general autism forum, it's not out of place or anything.

I suppose I am a Christian because the rest of my family is Catholic and I do practice the main Christian holidays. Honestly though I feel I am more spiritual than religious. I believe in a higher power and that something does happen to us after death, I just don't really identify or practically practice any specific religion.

I'm aware Cyclops. The reason I chose this forum instead is because I see it more as a general ASD question.

I am an atheist in the pureset definition of the word. I, thus far, have rejected every god claim I've come across. I believe in nothing supernatural, either.

None of the above. I believe in God, but am strongly against organised religion, and there isn't really a category there appropriate.

The options for the abrahamic religions weren't organized, but a belief. Otherwise I would've put such like Catholicism or Suuni. So, if you believe in God, I'd assume you to be Judaic, if it didn't include Jesus Christ. It doesn't mean you follow the Jewish institution, but simply follow the God of Abraham.

Christian, Lutheran to be specific.

I am from a Jewish family but I decided to become Christian, on my own. I did not tell my family about that. But I still consider myself a Christian, although I continue to keep the Jewish practices as well, so probably Hebraic Christian/ Messianic Jew is even better description.
