At the moment I don't feel like going into specifics because my brain is fried at the moment but most of my religious beliefs are similar to that of most forms of North American,Native American shamanism.

I'm probably going to say at this current time that Wiccan-Deist describes me ok... Probably more Deist, as I take alot of non-religious views on alot of religious things (Jesus for one).

I can't really say I have a religion - I just follow my own spirituality. I guess if you wanted to, though, you could classify me as pagan. I'm not religious. Just deeply spiritual.

Same as RedFeather. I do practice Paganism and Shinto, but there are so many other bits and pieces of other beliefs that I have adopted or "tweaked" to fit my own. I usually just say that I am eclectic along with the two I mentioned, or I would just have to write a book to explain my evershifting spirituality.

I go along with Nousagi and RedFeather. a little pagan/wiccan/celtic/buddist/etc./etc. all rolled into one. I've found that there's a bit to learn from every religion and faith, so I sort of absorb what I can from each of them. And like RedFeather said:Not really religious, just spiritual.
Or you could say I march to the beat of me own drum (entire band, would be more like it, actually XD)

To tell the truth, I have absolutely no idea what to call my beliefs. It's like a mix between Christianity and Wicca, both of which I have practiced on their own (I kind of bounce between the two.) I can't really pick out aspects of each that I believe are "good" or "right for me" because I like them both as a whole (I love every aspect of both religions.) So right now I'm just trying to find a balance between the two.

I'm actually an atheist, and very hardcore about it. I mean, I'm not millitant or preachy, but I do think that this life is absolutely the only one and I don't believe in the existance of a god or gods.
I tend to veiw religious experiences as a mental construct, but I'm open to being proven wrong. As I consider myself a scientist, I tend to take this explanation to heart: all things will one day be rationally and scientifically explained, and my lack of a belief in the "spiritual" or "paranormal" doesn't necessarily mean I discredit it, but that I think rationality will eventually prevail and what was once seen as supernatural will become seen as natural.

Like seer15, I don't know what to call myself. I have a host of beliefs such as karma, earth-based beliefs (that may be Pagan-like, but I am not sure), Christianity beliefs such as heaven and hell, and so forth. Just a big blend of beliefs!

My beliefs are Christian with some other things sprinkled in. I think the whole truth is larger than any man made religion and isn't really something any of us can wrap our minds around.

I believe in many gods, and in Ragnarök. I follow forn sed (asatru), but I have some bits from here and there also. I'm not even sure about the gods, sometimes I just see them as my make-believe friends, but I still give sacrifices on important days (like midsummer). I also think that you can never be absolutely sure about things like that, and even the slightest knowledge about gods, the mythical worlds or the future are very hard to find. I guess you could call me a believing agnostic. My faith is just a guess mixed with some hope.
I've also been thinking, if there are gods for humans, there could be animal gods. Not that I've ever seen a dog in prayer, but still.

I honesty don’t have a name or label for my believes. They are simply my own. From what I’ve researched on various religions, philosophies, and belief systems, I seem hold have some similar beliefs in common with Animism, Paganism, Shamanism, and several others. I don’t really seem to fit’ completely into any of these though and have no real desire to label myself for the sake of labeling so I do not consider myself any of these truly. Like others have mentioned as well, I also seem to absorb and take in certain views from other religions as well and learn from them. I do know that much of my main believes stem form the basic laws of life and nature and are earth based in many regards.
