| I used to not really mind religious people, that view is swiftly changing. I think I might be an atheist... |

Atheism is not something to 'be', it's merely a comparative trait amongst a world gone completely mad. It requires no ritual, no belief, no investment of anything whatsoever, it merely claims that there is no proof for the existence of a God, therefore the notion is ludicrous to pursue as if certain. That's the extent of it.
People are raised on church and rituals and getting up on Sunday morning to wear clean clothes, it's really no surprise whatsoever that atheism has been lumped with intellectualism, as religion is mostly ing idiotic in the first place, and people believe they are smarter for realizing this. But I don't think it's stupid to toy with the notion of God's existence one bit. It's the investment of principles that lead people astray, if you ask me. |

I know what you mean, I've just never thought of myself as an atheist, but the way I think might make me out to be one... I guess.
I just think organized religion is ing retarded, that's basically my viewpoint. |

| As I stated before - the older I get, strangely, the more I am drawn to religion and becoming more a practicing jew than not. I don't know, it's weird. I used to not care as much as I do now. |

| Exact opposite for me, I was pretty into church when I was younger but it was really for the wrong reasons. I just had a bunch of friends there. |

| I was religious as a kid but then kind of rebelled against it once I hit 16 or so. Then up until now I've been very indifferent. Then when I met my honey, who is also a Jew (although he wasn't practicing at the time) it started becoming important to me. Then as time went on after that... I've found myself going back to being religious I guess. I don't go to the synagogue every week or anything but I've been thinking about it. |

i'm almost embarrassed to admit this just because of all the publicity it has gotten, but i've been a little interested in kabala lol
a girlfriend of mine is into it and she was telling me how it works and stuff and i thought it was really cool. it's not really like religion, it's just more like a way of life and how to live your life in a stress-free environment and how you can control your reactions to stress, etc... i could def see myself getting into that. |
