I'd consider myself christian, but not the type that believes you have to go to church to be a christian.
To me, religion is all about faith, honesty, piety, mercy, compassion, humility, nonjudgementalism and similar virtures. It is also a belief in a power greater than yourself.
It is not dogmatic.
It is not about how many people below to your church.
It is not about dressing up to go to church every sunday.
It is not about 1 religion is better than another.
I find value in all religions.
Probably the most interesting religions of all are cults, existentialists, and agnostics.
I don't put my beliefs fully in any of these "fringe" religions, but I believe they have a grain of truth to each of them.
All religions were a cult at one period or another.
Maybe God is dead? Who knows? Maybe humanity, past, present, and future, is collectively what we know as "God".
Maybe the agnostics are right... There is no way to empirically prove that God exists, so we don't know.
And then there are the satanists. According to a group of people who call them selves this in LA, "Satanists" are not devil worshippers, but worshippers of humanity. They essentially believe that people are animals. They believe we should live by instinct and give in to our desires, not deny them.
These guys interpret the stigma of satanism and give it a new meaning.
The point is: It is important to believe in something.
