What religion or faith do you practice, if any? I am personally a Baptist Christian.

Well, in practice, I'm a Presbeterian(sp) but I'm not very religous.

Scratch that. I'm a Mac User. That's a religion in my book.

Question though: Are you actually a true atheist? In order to technically qualify as an atheist, you have to be 100% convinced that there is no God. True atheists are fun to talk to-they tend to have the most reasoned, well thought out arguments of any religious group I am awaeareaer of.

I'm a Roman Catholic. I get confirmed on or around Easter also. What a coincidence! Well, you also see, I have to buy a really pretty red dress. What about you? Do you have to wear red? I love being Catholic. It's so great!

Just a personal preference I guess. But, I agree with a lot of the teachings...no divorce, no pre-marital sex...well actually, that one's a bummer..in some ways..but it's still good.

I do believe there is no all powerful entity or entities. I believe in all powerful beings as much as normal people believe in ghosts or vampires.

And for the record, a lot of people who call themselves Atheists are actually Agnostics. Atheist means you believe that there is no God. Agnostic means that you don't profess to know.
