Yes, in general, people believe things that they don't want to be the case. I don't want to die, I don't want children to starve, I don't want the rainforests to be destroyed any further. But I believe that I will die, that children are starving, and that deforestation is unlikely to be alleviated anytime soon. So I think a person could believe in God, despite not wanting there to be a God. Well then. I believe. For no reason but the fact that I do. You're perfectly entitled!

I see myself as a sort of Hindu. I'm fairly agnostic about the supernatural elements of Hinduism but I definitely embrace its general outlook on life.

I don't see how it is strange. It's not like God appeared in front of me but my belief did. Maybe it was there all along. I don't understand how wanting there to be a God lead you to believe that there is a God. I imagine if you're on the fence as to whether God exists, wanting to believe can give you the impetus to make that leap of faith.

I don't think it's odd to seek out what you want to believe and be convinced based on what was discovered.

Athiest. Religion was thought up to keep people under control when it was needed but it's not needed anymore

Atheist. I think the likelihood that one or more gods exist is just slightly greater than that Santa Claus lives up at the North Pole.

Trying to keep it general here, so let's not get caught up in the denominational details. No 'Other' option? BTW, from Sulla's thread on the old board- This thread is intended to complement Steve's "RFS Awards" thread. It occurs to me that I'm not sure exactly what some of you are. Some I already know, but rather than make assumptions, I'm asking you to please state your religion/non-religion. If you wish to state what kind of Christian or atheist, etc. you are, that's cool, too. I've taken the liberty of listing a few I know. If there's a mistake, feel free to let me know and I will correct it.
This is also a way to measure the theist/atheist ratio. FireInBabylon made the first thread many years ago, but I don't believe it has been done lately.

I meant to add one, but I accidentally hit "enter" and it saved the poll as is and wouldn't let me change it.
