What's your religion? (sh.itjust.works)

I was born and raised in an Eastern Orthodox Christian family. Became a theistic Satanist in the 1980s - more specifically a Luciferian. It even got me a conscription exemption. Still one to this day.

Atheist/materialism, if you can consider that a religion.

More Nihilist than anything, if that can be considered a religion. I don't know if there is anything past this life for us, so I can't say for sure, so I just go with no. But obviously, I hope I'm so wrong. One day, the sun is gona expand far enough to engulf the whole earth. Literally, nothing will have ever mattered at that point. Makes my life a little easier every day when I think about pressures and stresses. A lot of people would think the opposite, but it allows me to live more in the moment. I don't need some external pressure of being good or bad to determine how I treat people. I just do it because being nice is the right thing to do in most scenarios in life.

Atheist but follow certain christian... Or I guess they are a part of any religion values.

Stuff like "Don't be evil", "Respect all equally", that kind of stuff...

Orthodox Christian. America is a confusing place for me too.

raised catholic but went agnostic early on. Now athiest but I like tst and buddhist philosophies. Not that other religions don't have some philosophical apsects that are nice but the core ones of those I like.

I was raised Anglican, then I attended a Methodist church, and I spent a decade or so in pentecostal and evangelical spaces. Nowadays I'm closer to being agnostic or atheist than anything else.

I'm a pagan.

Had Christian upbringing since I remember, so would consider myself Christian most of my life, was a real firm believer for more than a few years as well. Was in my late 20s when I really starting poking on those believes critically and it just crumbled. I still believed there is something more. Weirdly, I didn't really deny the possible existence of Christian god - I just refused him.

I was in this weird limbo for years - not an antheist, not Christian, not really religious but believing there is something more on spiritual level but didn't do anything with it because I couldn't identify it. Kinda afraid of Hell, but also didn't want to suck it up and return to Christianity just out of fear (realized I had quite enough of it as a kid).

Then I randomly read something on modern paganism and something just clicked for me. Looked into it more and it just felt right.
