Aithiests, what do you believe? Do you believe in any religion of any kind? Do you believe in anything of any kind?

Not really, no. I live my life following my own moral guidelines. What drives me away from religion is the entire concept of worship... I don't think anything is worthy of my worship. I do not have any problems with legitimately religious people, though. Everybody should follow whichever religion is best for them, as long as it isn't a false religion like Scientology.

I used to think the same thing about worship. I felt it was weird and awkward but it is a commandment and for Christians it should be as much a habit as breathing. I do it everyday. Praise is for the Lord but I still enjoy it because he saved me and is awesome and totally worth it.

I find most Christian worship music strange. Not the kind that you sing in Mass or whatever you want to call it but the country music I find strange. I think that being in in the middle religious is better than being way to strongly religious and to unreligious.

Religious I think is an inappropriate word to describe a personal relationship with God. In fact, I heard before the word religion means "prison of lies."

Then that is telling that every single person on the planet is living a lie, except the aithiests. What is the appropriate word then?

Atheists are still living a lie. Doesn't really need a word. I just don't like to be called 'religious' because I just think it sounds stupid and besides the point.
