I knew that including Wicca was a good call! My ex girlfriend is Wiccan; also a b***h, but yeah.

Atheist. But I'm not sure it can be classified as a religion.

I needed a catchy title... The poll description is a bit more accurate, though! No, atheism is not a religion nor belief system, since by definition it is the lack of belief. You can get into saying "you believe in the facts you learn" and, while that's an interesting topic thoroughly considered in philosophy since before ancient greece, such a view would apply to everyone, and is thus useless in the context of atheism being a religion. If atheism is a religion, "off" is a TV channel; hard vacuum is a type of air; clear is a color.

Woops, started to ramble/rant! Anyway, uh: correct.

I feel like I'm at school because I am learning about religions......
Not happy 

But learning is awesome! Sure, school blows, but knowledge is literally power. Maybe something simple, like having control of a situation because you know more about religions than the other person, or maybe something practical like knowing how to repair a laptop, or even something awesome like knowing how to biologically change someone's species; let me know if you crack that one! ;P

LEARNING F**KING ROCKS!!!!!!!1!!!!!!ONE!!!

Technically Atheism is a philosophy. But seeing as religious books of all kinds are put in the "philosophy" section the library downtown, I'm guessing religion is considered a grouping of philosophies.

That's fair. I mean, a philosophy can be just about anything, like hukuna matata!

Atheism! Because I literally can't bring myself to see the idea of a deity as logical, so I assume there isn't one. I once had an argument about how Atheism isn't a religion and this has reminded me of it. It baffles me why some people just can't see that it isn't one. Or am I wrong and it weirdly is in some paradoxical way?

Former Atheist, now Buddhist.

Atheism made my life boring and a bit bland really. I'm much happier now

I was Christian. I have drifted from that recently, and while I know I am not an atheist I don't know what direction I am going in or what I will ultimately call myself. It is pretty confusing to me, actually. I don't really even know what to read, who to consult, or where to begin.

I'm considering learning more about Buddhism and Taoism, as I feel that the philosophical (though not spiritual) aspects might make me happier than I currently am with Atheism alone. Thanks for the input!

I suggest reading both articles that support AND articles that oppose what you think you believe, and then see what makes sense to you afterwards. That's what I did (and do) to figure out what I believe. The internet is the easiest source of information, but not the best; books are a bit better. Still, simply googling "argument for Christianity" and "argument against Christianity" will bring up some thought provoking articles. I wouldn't suggest watching YouTube videos if you're really confused: both sides get pretty venomous in them...

Just keep in mind that there's more than "Christian" or "Pagan": there's deism, agnosticism, Taoism, and a zillion actual religions. Plus, these are all just labels; it's not what you call yourself that matters, but your beliefs.

An easy place to start is just googling stuff like "deism", "agnosticism", and "atheism", or go to a philosophy site, such as this:

Good luck on your existential journey! Mind the angst! =P
