Re: Are you...
None of the above- I don't follow an organized religion but I have pretty definite beliefs.
I define religious as someone who attends services regularly and whose faith often comes through in their words and actions. I don't fit my definition.

Please pardon me but how does this differ from Agnostic?

An agnostic is someone who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God or someone who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism.
I believe in God, but I don't believe in organized religion, at least not any I've been a part of so far. So I'm somewhere between religious and agnostic.

Agh see I always thought that agnostic as someone who believed in god but not organized religion. I cant believe I have thought this wrong for so long.

I was a bit confused too- and I always confuse "athiest" and "agnostic".

Re: Are you...
I go to church more than periodically, but not really regularly - does that make me religious?
I do belong to an organized religion and while I have a large amount of frustration and anger towards it sometimes, it is a big part of who I am, so I guess that makes me religious to most people. I think of myself more as "spiritual"

Re: Are you...
I was raised a Catholic and went to Sunday school, daily sunday service and got married in a Catholic church.
However, I don't go to chuch on a regular basis but believe in many of the teachings of the Catholic religion....BUT not all of them so I don't go to Church on a regular basis.
I try every day to be a good person and do the right thing....that is the best way i know right now of serving my god.
However the Catholic Church has not moved with society. For example, they say that homosexual marriage is wrong but are okay with giving annulments for politically correct people. They also had the whole pedophile scandal where priests looked the other way when their own clergy was molesting young boys. I find it very hard to say one way is sinful, but it's okay (or okay to look the other way) for the other.
Everyone should read the book Joshua if you are Catholic. It explains what god wanted and not what people have made his teachings out to be. To me the Catholic Church has made themselves to me almost a political heirarchy and not so much representative of my views.
So I believe in god and the catholic religion, but i have a hard time with the catholic church as i see it.
So i don't really fit into any of those catagoies.

For the main part agnostic - I'm a big believer in science - but some things can't be explained by science which is where the doubt comes into play.

Re: Are you...
i guess i would consider myself spiritual 
i believe in there being some sort of God, and i have Faith. I dont go to church alot, but i pray everyday (and everytime i pass a cemetary, or a fire truck/ambulance flies by me- i say a quick prayer for the people involved). But, i think that the catholic church is man made, and so naturally, its affected by human error.
I'm also very into science, so alot of it is conflicting- but i think i take some from each of it, and it's given me a solid belief system.
