Guest Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 You forgot Islam and Hinduism, and also agnosticism for us who doesn't know - or think it's impossible to know - whether or not God exists. What do you mean is the difference between Catholics and Christians by the way? I assume you meant to write Catholic and Protestant, or something similarly. Cheers!

Zmid Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Ex-christian agnostic myself. I used to believe in God as portrayed by Christianity, but who really knows? I don't. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darnoc Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Well, perhaps we should ask ourselves before we make such a poll, what being a member of a religion/belief really means. Does it mean that this person really beliefs or does this mean that this person was raised in this belief and participated, because it is the tradition? I personally think that being a member of a religion/belief means that you acctually belief in this religion. So therefore someone who was raised in a christian way but only goes to church because it is the tradition and not because this person really believes, then this person is not a member of this religion/belief (same applys for every other religion/belief). And there are also some other things about this poll I don't like. First: Atheism isn't a religion, it is a belief. In fact it is the opposite of a religion. So the question should rather be: "In what do you believe?" Then secondly some religions/beliefs which are important are missing. Catholics, for example, are considered a part of Christianity. It would be more correct to talk about Catholic Christians, Protestantic Christians, Orthodoxian Christians, Christians of Free Churches. There are a lot more of things which are missing, but I don't have the time to state them all here. Oh, by the way, I'm a Charismatic Christian of the Vineyard Movement (if anyone knows this).
