Meh, I suppose it's possible to believe in god without believing in organized religion. That's kind of what the Founding Fathers were like with their "deism."

I am religious but not spiritual. Serious. I got to church weekly and have my bouts of atheism but am absolutely not spiritual.

Caius please elaborate? I tend to be in the sane boat - though no bouts of atheism. Though it is indeed not unhealthy to question and doubt in darker moments.

I grew up in the Catholic Church and schools and then spent my 20s never going and never caring. Then I realized I missed it. I like church potlucks and after mass coffee or brunch. I like the structure but I never feel "God is calling me" or "God has spoken to me" or anything like that. I guess I just missed it. Hard to explain but definitely am not spiritual and feel jealous of those that are.

I believe in God but don't think very highly of him.

Maybe it's a female.

I certainly believe in God though I do sometimes wonder whether I'm in the right denomination. I'm currently a nondenominational protestant.

We just conquered the Sovereign Military Order of Malta which is a mircostate like The Vatican. Although I disagreed since it sets a precedent for Italy to do the same to The Vatican. It is only a single building but nobody cares it seems, unlike Ukraine (except Trump).
