I lean towards no religion or belief.
I find it inconceivable that a higher being could exist, such as "god".
And I find it foolish to blindly lead your life according to what some book says or how some pastor interprets it.
That being said, I have many family members who are deeply religious, many friends who are just as such. About half are Christian, the rest are other religions. A number of them are not American. This in essence is no different then on the TFP, the fact that I share so little views with them when it comes to spirituality and religion doesn’t mean we won’t get along. To shun a person away because of what they feel and think goes against everything this forum is meant to be about. People will always disagree with each other, and to expect perfect harmony is just foolish.
As long as both parties are able to keep their cool and act like adults there is no reason why any one person will feel unwelcome. Now, just for example, my aunt is a extremely Christian devoted women, to the point that she will get offended if you do not agree with her views. This community is so large, we are bound to have a number of those people, and they are going to speak their mind. Those are the very people who will stand out and you will remember them, and sadly they might influence the overall stereotype we all naturally apply to groups of people (The TFP in this case).
