Question Posted Wednesday October 24 2007, 4:58 pm
I am very religious. I do not belong to an organized religion and do not practice any thing that is clearly stated and known. Instead, I choose different beliefs from various religions into a mish-mash of different ideas. For example, I believe that God created the Earth, but I do not believe in the Original Sin (Adam and Eve), from Christian religion. I am asking, since I do not have a name for the mix of my beliefs, what, should I reply when I am asked what religion I practice. I do not want to say an atheist, because that is not what I am.

He explains to people what he is rather than put a label to it because he's not sure what a mix would be called. Maybe you can say "other" or "agnostic" or just say you're spiritual. Maybe Unitarian Universalism?

Its easier than explaining all of your beliefs when you've obviously taken religion with a grain of salt, which is good. A lot people, in most religions, do.
