Are you Religious?

lockedbashed

I am not religious and it is a big mystery for me why some people are religious. I just don't get it. For me everything makes much more sense without a god (gods, goddesses etc)

well.. everyone wants to believe in something..

Define "religious". Do I believe in a higher intelligence/power? yes!
Do I follow any specific rites of worship? no!
Does that make me religious or not religious?

Also, I don't see ppl addressing the homosexuality question. Orthodox religions are, basically, dead set against
homosexuality. I have come across ppl who read the bible to mean that only anal sex between men is forbidden
and everything else is allowed.

Personally, I think that anyone who bothers with who is sleeping with whom and via which orifice, is actually more of a gossip or pervert
than a glorious all-father to whom we should all turn.

I could be deemed religious by some, but I feel I am more of a spiritualist person,

Atheism is the absence of belief that any deities exist..

But can you believe that no deities exist?

We must not to mistake faith with religion. I have faith in God, in Jesus and what the last said and did. I'm also religious because I follow many interpretations of the Word according to the Roman Church, but "religion" is something that lays on shoulders of men and men are not perfect nor enough strong to hold it without making mistakes.
I don't say I take only the things that please me, but at least I can spot some "discrepancies" between the original message of Christ and some modern behavior…

Atheist all the way here.

As for religion and homosexuality, I know of none that like us and plenty that hate us. That has nothing to do with my atheism, it's just the way it is.

We don't need religions to work out how to be good people and get along with one another. We can be rational and work things out for ourselves if we can shake off the habit of religion. it requires us to take responsibility for ourselves though and there fewer people ready to do that, than wrap themselves in the security blanket of a higher being who they pray is going to take care of them.
