Ok, for a while now (and as a while i mean about half of my 15 year old life) I have not been very religious and now I do not believe I have a religion. I do not believe in a god but I am not ready to call myself an Atheist (sorry about spelling). I'm not really sure what call myself except having no religion.

Having no religion is called being an Atheist. So, to conclude, it is possible to have no religion.

Atheism is not a religion. Its what people call themselves when they don't follow a religion.

The term atheism originated from the Greek á¼Î¸ÎµÎ¿Ï (atheos), which was derogatively applied to anyone thought to believe in false gods, no gods, or doctrines that stood in conflict with established religions.

I am sorry to ruin your happy moment but Atheism is a religion. This is the definition from Wikipedia, [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atheism]

annnd that would make the 2 of us.

I believe it originated from greek, with the belief that you did not follow a god, Get your greek mythology correct.

Greek mythology has nothing to do with it. The etymology of the word just happens to be Greek.

Wow! I do too! Let's start a freak club.

Atheos also apparently believed in false gods. And while atheism derived from that word, it definitely has a different definition.

Some people would argue that Atheism is a religion, some say it isn't you can decide on that for yourself.

Agnostics are people that don't know what they believe in (i.e. have no religion) and are searching.

If you aren't in those 2 groups, or follow any religion, you are probably a scientologist.

just kidding, but God (or lack there of) knows what you are.

I'm sorry if there are any scientologists here that might be offended, but it was just a joke. I have a close friend of mine who is a scientologist. We poke fun at each others beliefs all the time.

And those people would be wrong.

...If you're not Atheist/Religious, that doesn't make you a scientologist. Do you even know what that is?

Oh, and, btw,

STOP NECROING THREADS PEOPLE!!!

Duh, I was jokingly implying that scientology isn't a religion. And no, I do not really understand scientology, but that doesn't detract from my joke. Duh.
