Sorry for my ignorance, but what's a daiest? Maybe it's just because I don't know the English term... I'd be happy to know.
Anyway, are you asking if we believe in some kind of specific religion? Sorry for the dumb question |

I don't believe in any form of religion. I have my own set of values and morals and choose to live by them.
There are many different forms of religion in the world, each with their own 'form' of God. But what amazes me is that many religions are intolerant of other religions. They simply condemn acknowledging that any other religion could be considered valid. What makes, say, the Christian 'God' any more valid than the Hindu version of 'God'? Nothing at all - it's simply pure ignorance and arrogance to believe that your 'God' is the only 'real God'... Besides, more people have died in the name of religion than anything else. Wars, Martyrs, Terrorism, Conflict... you name it - Religion has caused it. However, to those who do have Religious beliefs, that's cool! Keep hold of them if it's what you want to do. I would never impose my views on anyone, and similarly I wouldn't expect anyone to impose their Religious belief on me. - S

I'm Catholic. Probably it depends on the fact I was born in a Christian country. My religious principles are not the strongest ever, but I really believe in God. It's an important part of my life.
I have nothing against the people who don't believe in anything, but I often find that they are negative towards the ones who have a strong sense of religion. This is the only thing I can't stand about them. |

I have no religion as such, but i'd at least claim not to be atheist - I do believe that God could exist, I just doubt very highly that he does.
The UK is perhaps a little less religously inclined than other nations, but the schools i've been to have all practiced christianity in some smaller or larger way, so I could have been influenced by religon... in the end it comes down to the individual in the majority of cases: its like how the same event could turn one person towards god and another away.

I'm an agnostic.
But there are a lot of religious philosophies I've picked up here and there.. I like how Daoism beliefs focuse on having no tie to a course set by a legal system or society. Buddhism is probably my favorite basis list. But as far as religion goes, I'm still waiting for truth to expose itself. I've never been a very religious person, I don't attend church regularly enough, and I don't believe in tying yourself to religion, but that living your life other than it to appease whatever God you believe in, is the most "religious" way to live one's life. __ Really Freaking Dumb question: By the term "daist", are you referring to Daoism? |

I'm Catholic. At first my family was very tight with religion. Sunday school every Sunday, sometimes mass. I'd go to a catholic church for Sunday school. Then a lutheran church on holidays and such for mass, because my mother is lutheran. I strongly believe in God. Since I kind of dropped out of sunday school and we stopped going to church, his teachings really slipped. I actually want to go to church, but I'm going back when I turn 18 so I can finish.

I believe that there is some sort of higher order and/or being to the universe. I think that it would be a guiding hand in evolution. I believe in an afterlife because it's energy that powers us (bio electric energy in the brain) and energy cannot die. Only change form.
I do not believe in organized religion at all. For many of the same reasons that Spank noted. Man has no idea what god is, and no religion has any real proof that they're right. Despite this religious people are among if not the most intolerant people I've met during my lifetime. It's not right, and it has no place in today's society.. Keep thy religion to thyself. -George Carlin

Similarly I have found that a lot of people with a strong sense of religion ( I don't mean you) feel negatively about those who don't or have alternative beliefs about their spirituality. Perhaps if both types of people can realize this we can better understand eachother instead of feeling like it's 2 sides all the time. _RED_ stuff

I don't believe in God. We were put here through evolution and nothing more.
