Religion (and lack thereof) at Hypography

[pgrmdave]

I am curious as to the ratio of people who believe in some sort of spirituality vs. those who do not at Hypography. There was a poll like this before that I believe was split roughly 50/50, I wonder if the makeup of the forums has changed.

 

There are three choices in this poll:

 

Theist - this includes any belief that includes a diety or god of some sort

 

Atheist - this is for anybody who does not have any spiritual beliefs

 

Spiritual Atheist - this is for anybody who has some sort of spiritual belief, but one that does not include a diety, such as Buddism, and New Age spirituality

 

 

If additional choices are needed, I can add them in the future.

Atheist here.

Atheist as in a·theist, i.e. not·theist...

[Turtle]

I went with Spiritual Atheist as it appears the spiritual meme is deeply ingrained in humans but wholly an internal bio-environmental phenomenon. As a human myself I find it a fascinating concept rife with, and for, speculation. :hihi:

[Boerseun]

Atheist, myself.

[Tarantism]

i put down "spiritual athiest" but really i just believe in the balance.

I am a theist becuase what really created it all was it just here or did something create it, thats my thoughts.

That one wants to theorize creation as a possible explanation of first cause should not be a reason in and of itself to believe that theory as fact. The existence of the universe itself is not evidence of a big bang, creation or any other causation of that existence.

I'm a theist, I'm proud, and am not ashamed. It's perfectly reasonable that people mock me for my beliefs.

I believe strongly in "freedom of religion", or as the title of this thread mentions, "lack thereof".

 

Whatever makes people happy or comfortable is fine with me. :)

I guess I'm an atheist. I don't believe in god, however, I don't rule the existence of a god out.

 

I like to question answers, not answer questions.:)

[ronthepon]

I believe in no god, but I do worship the mind, consious or otherwise.

[C1ay]

I believe in no god....

The "belief in no God" vs "a lack of belief in any God(s)" is the root of the false claim that atheism is a religion....

[Southtown]

What is the difference, would you say? Atheism is a subjective belief system, and a non-empirical one at that. Isn't that kinda what the word "religion" describes, or no?

While I agree that there is a debate to be had about 'religious' atheism vs. 'non-religious' atheism, this is not the thread to discuss it. Please open up a new thread if you want to discuss that.

There is an appropriate thread for this started here...

This is called agnosticism, and could possibly have been an option in this poll.
