    What religion do you consider yourself if any?

    And most important why did you choose your faith, what made it right for you?

    I am non-religious, or agnostic. Not sure which describes me better. Basically, I think that as humans, we cannot know whether there is a god or gods, and which of the gods currently worshiped, if any, this might be. Therefore, I distance myself from all religions, because I cannot be sure that one is more correct than another.

    I was raised in a Christian family though.

    Im Christian,

    I was taken to church by my babysitter when i was very little, I grew up with a vicars daughter being my closest friend and so the church has always been in me. I went to Taize in France and loved the whole experience

    I went to a strict C of E secondary School and still today have some connections with the church, all my children have or are going through a C of E primary school

    I am Christian

    I'm Christian, ever since I was young I was brought up as a Christian. It's a really hard thing to do, honestly.
    It's like a consistent battle within yourself if you are honestly trying to shadow yourself to Christ.

    I was brought up Catholic, but then I met my boyfriend :O
    We used to play and have arguments, and religion always got brought up, and I never had a leg to stand on.
    Also, when I really needed help, I prayed and prayed, and nothing happened, I just lost all faith.
    Now I'm atheist.

    I am Wiccan; Wicca is a nature-centered mystery tradition with Ceremonial/Hermetic and shamanic Celtic roots. Wicca is doutheistic in that there is both a God and a Goddess. The deities are archetypal meaning that all gods are said to be aspects or expressions of The God an all goddesses of The Goddess. It is also tritheistic in that there is also an all pervading entity known as the Dryghten or "The All" which is composed of and transcendent to the God and Goddess.
    Being pantheistic and pantheistic, Wicca states that deity is both immanent and transcendent and that the material universe is a manifestation of divinity. Because of this, every practitioner is their own priest or priestess.

    It chose me - Though I had to make the decision to follow this path, Wiccans often feel called into their path. We do not seek conversion, valuing religious plurality with the notion that Wicca is not right for everyone. This is true for all religions but especially for mystery traditions. What is required cannot be asked.

    That said, why Wicca?

    Intimacy, - this is not to say you can't have an intimate relationship with deity in any other religion, however Wiccan ritual uses various correspondences to induce a transcendent experience of divine union with deity. Wicca does not ignore one gender and thus one side of divinity for another. Wicca also encourages relationship with deities of other pantheons.

    That's not a requirement for being a good Christian as far I'm concerned.... that's outright judgement. Life is complicated, I think people have been too harsh on you.

    What tattoo?
