If you did not have the religion that you have, what religion would you have?

I don't even know what religion I have at the moment! *grin*  Probably some form of Paganism.

I don't really know what my religion is right now, so I'm not sure what mine would be if I could choose.

A religion should be a system of beliefs. This means that the question kind of reads "What would you believe if you didn't believe what you believe?" I don't understand the question.

I hate to be so unimaginative, but I couldn't imagine not being Catholic.

My spiritual position is based on all that I am. Obviously, if I were a different person I could have different beliefs. To describe these beliefs, I would have to be other than I am.

I am comfortable within any of the mainstream Protestant denominations.

I grew up Catholic. If I could choose, it would probably be a mixture of Zen Buddhist, Wiccan, and Transendentalist practices with a smidge of Christianity.  I sometimes wish I were Jewish.

Prior to my joining the LDS church, I attended many churches, was disgusted with them all, and became an agnostic. I believe that the LDS church is the true church and if I wasn't a member of it, I wouldn't be a member of any.

Wicca. (currently athiest)

As of the moment, I consider myself a deist. However, if I were not a deist I would be a Zen Buddhist. (though neither of those are true religions, really, more like belief systems. we'll disregard that.)

Well, my religion is my bag ...I strayed away for several years, until I read a book by Will Durant (the history of Rome-From Caeser to Christ, which brought me back) (as I mentioned in a previous answer, I am reading a book about the history of the world's major religion...I respect other people's religions, however, I cannot answer this question....it is interesting to learn about what other religion's believe in, however, deciding to change religions is not like changing shoes...

I wouldn't want to be any other religion. i would want to be the religion I am right now.

Different religions interest me, I guess because I know I don't belong to the one I am in.

Laney

I have an "all faith" religion. I guess I'm just plain 'ol Christian. So, I can't really say what religion I would be because I don't have a firm set of beliefs toward any particular religion.

If I did not have what sense of religion I have now, I suppose I'd be an agnostic.

Do I have religion? I guess the major religion with the closest thing to my belief system would be Buddhism, but there are aspects of Buddhism I don't really agree with.

Karen, 22

I think I'd have the same religion, but only be more devout. Failing that, I'd be a digger, a wiccan, a zen buddhist, or a shaker.

I'm not really of a religion at present and this is a tough question to answer. How do you say what you would believe it if you didn't have the current beliefs that shape who you are? It would have to be something close to wiccan or pagan. I believe in a higher power, I'm just not sure about all this judgement stuff that some religions think they need. Hard question. Perhaps I just abstain.

Triana, 29

Hmm. Probably Buddhist, or Hindi. I've done alot of research on both, and if I wasnt Christian, I would be one of those.

Nicci, 27

Actually, I'm not religious at all. Not a bit.

If I weren't Jewish, I'd certainly be atheist. Religion is a bad excuse to do weird and or discriminatory things to others.
