What is your religion?

So, what is your religion? What are your beliefs?

I am not religious. I am an Atheist. I do not believe in the existence of deities. I also do not believe in creationism, nor do I believe in Religious Theory of any kind.
 
LaVeyan Satanism. It rejects the theistic notion of Satan being an actual deity that exists and is to be worshipped, and rather uses him as a symbol. The focus on individualism and self-improvement is what really spoke to me. The tenets also seem reasonable.
 
I was baptised as Eastern Orthodox, but never really taken to church, outside of funerals and an occasional field trip in school when we'd go to see old monasteries or whatever.
In the recent years I have become more partial to historic pagan revivalism, but my problem is that, at the end of the day, a lot of these revivalists are just cosplaying Christians, because we're all so far removed from historic pagan practices and sensibilities (in no small part thanks to the militant Christianity during the middle ages) that we can't practice revivalist paganism and say in good faith that it's the way our ancestors did it. I've seen Dacian "pagans" unironically adopt Jesus into their pantheon, I've seen Scandinavian "pagans" adopt the cross hand gesture as "the hammer of Thor" gesture, I've seen a lot of "pagans" practice their faith in a Christian fashion with prayer without tribute, groveling, and things like that. It's just not how it was in the old days. And yes, one can argue that many of those pagan faiths were eclectic and personal, but there were still rules that they followed, because society means organization, and religion, as a societal concept, is also organized.
In general, the beauty of paganism is that you may not even be an official devotee of a deity, but you still are a devotee, simply because you use things associated with said deity. If you indulge in a lot of wine drinking, you're already a devotee of Dionysos\ Bacchus, if you're a soldier, you're already a devotee of Mars\ Ares, or Odin, or Sekhmet, or any number of other warrior gods\ goddesses, etc., etc.

These days I just say I'm a dadaist. It helps cope with all the bs in the world, and I don't need to pray or do anything. It also leaves room for interpretation. Does Dada exist? Is it a god, a demon, a demiurge? Does it even care? Either way works for me.
I am a dadaist because I am human. And I am human, because I am a dadaist.

I was raised with Catholic and Christian peers. Religion was not enforced in my childhood home. I read two King James Bible versus a day and I still try to understand the elements of nature.

Of Lemuria against the annunaki so to say it is theistic to disassociate the sigil from its actual manifestation is in itself a Dogma and is a distraction egoist soul trap within samsara. The ATMA being divine within ourselves to procure energy is the real reason they would want to invoke this ritual as always "to thine [OWN]+[Self] be true. Rather the Hermeneutical overlay of theosophy is rather the true{ chi } AtMA source they want you divided from your terran ancestry of Gaia . I found a book you might like.

agnostic leaning atheist for many many years

recently discovering the world of catholicism

which is really fkn weird to me but lol anyway
 
Total Atheist. Religion was created by humans thousands of years ago (and yes, LONG *before* this so called "Jesus"). But it didn't already exist and was "discovered" (such as the case of science), it doesn't exist in and of itself. We made it up.

So how can I take that seriously? Things don't manifest themselves or become "real" simply because we want it to, or "believe in it".
 
I have studied all religions. After all of my schooling and personal journey, I have come out the other side as a Deist.
