i said what relegion made the most sense, mine.
the thread never asked me to tell what my relegion was, just which one made the most sense. 🙄 😛

Which is not a religion. Of course.
Is I'm afraid.
Anything that involves a belief in something, or a faith in a way of living is considered a culture or religion.
Agnosticism and Atheism are both considered a faith in nothing/no-one.

Well, mine of course is agnosticism. I belive in it because all interpretations of a higher being on this Earth, regardless of religion, are corrupt and simply serve people's own ends. To try and know the mind of said higher being, or even to try and knowand analyze their ways, is sacriligious and a fruitless effort anyway. We can never begin to guess the motives, methods, philosophy or intentions of whatever created the universe.Now you all try.
I used to consider myself agnostic, non God/Church believing, is that right? But now I'd say that I'm an atheist, simply because I've decided that I don't believe in the existence of a higher being at all. But I'm open to other theories, in fact different views do nothing but interest me.

Actually no, the dictionary defines a religion as belief in a god or supernatural power... 😕

Ah bugger 😬
I had this discussion time and time again with my tutor in High School. He was adamant that the world's belief is changing enough to allow Atheism and Agnosticism to become religions, and I defined it exactly as you did DR.
If I were to change it to them being considered more cultural, would that be acceptable?
I rarely refer to the dictionary seeings as my spelling is near perfect, but I really should if only for definitions right?

Well, I hardly use a dictionary either, I think I was talking about this with somebody else and I wanted to look in the dictionary to see what the actual definition of the word was, or something... I really think the term "religion" when talking about a belief system is misleading, because there are so many "religions" that people have now which have nothing to do with a god. Well, not a lot, but enough that it's tough to deal with.
I don't understand the middle one...
