Now, before we begin, this is going to be an incredibly touchy topic. I cannot stress enough how careful you have to be when discussing this topic.
Anything in here will be personal opinion only. No enforcing your opinion like it's fact. None at all, no matter who agrees with you. I want to make sure nobody gets their feelings hurt.
So, tell me, what is your religion and what does it mean to you?.

I'm the first to reply! ^_^
I'm Christian, as I have mentioned in other posts. It means a lot to me, though people might not think that it does. It's the next life for me. ^_________^
So, other people, too scared to reply??

I am not submerged in a specific religion. In fact, you could say I'm largely influenced by Christianity. Still, my family is buddhist.

my family is also buddhists... but i'm not really indepth in one religion as calli stated... i can't live on some of the rules that buddhists have to live on... but then all religions have their sets of rules etc. right? but i guess i'm not into any religion at all if myrnie-religion counts ^^;;

I'm also Christian, but I haven't gone to church for a very long time. Bad me. Anyway, though I am Christian and my religion does mean a lot to me and it plays a large role in my day-to-day life there are some things in the Bible I don't agree with/am skeptical of. Please don't tell my Grandparents I said that though.

Thanks. I'm not sure what people would think if they found out that I actually think about what I read in the Bible and try to make sense of it or determine if I actually agree with the statement, as opposed to agreeing with it and obeying it immediately simply because it's in the Bible. I hope that didn't make me sound like a bad Christian.

And that is no crime at all I do believe in following the will of anybody else's but mine, be it in holy readings or sinful preaching.

*BOING* I'm not really catching onto these threads much, but I believe that religion does count a lot in your life. If you have no religion, than what do you think about after hearing the word "dead"?

They could just think "Gone, completely vanished".
I say the soul never dies, It can stay here on Earth, go to Heaven, or even be reborn.
