I'll turn on the heat in this section as well. So, I'll start by asking you guys: - do you follow any organised religion, is your path more personal or are you an atheist or agnostic?
- why do you like it?
why do you follow it? - how were you introduced to it?
- did your parents or any siblings had any influence on this? Is it a family tradition or is it more peer-related?
- are you part of a local community?
- is it the most followed religion in your country?
- was it a very strong identity in school/college/university?
No need to share private information such as your country or which high school/college/university you attended, if you don't want to. You can only see the poll results after voting.

I voted "spiritual but without any affilation". What I mean by this is that I don't consider myself atheist/agnostic; rather there must be something, and whatever that "thing" is it has to be real and true. I would call it Science and it has to be Natural. Science can explain everything, if given a proper chance to, and this "thing" must exist, must be perceptible, must be known and - hopefully - understood and applied. I prefer to know things and know what the actual truth is, rather than just accepting what I've been told because someone says so. As a former christian I used to be told things "just because" or "because god says so", etc., but that's not good enough. If it doesn't make sense, or doesn't sit right with me, then I can't accept it.
Even if I find what seems to be an actual answer, I would still tend to question it, instead of just accept it. Of course, that could be taken too far, not accepting anything at all despite being presented with facts and evidence to accept it, so I might say, that unless I am definite in my certainty, that I'd be 99% accepting of something. Being closed-minded is not helpful, so I'd reserve a realistic amount to allow some room for playing Devil's Advocate - and if Devil cannot win in this argument, then good; if Devil can win, then also good. Both results, winning or losing, can then help me to learn more and better things. If nothing better comes to light, or I don't find it, then I'd have to accept what I accept now but still keep that realistic percentage available for review or testing.

I want to join a religion, but honestly, I can't since I was never a really spiritual person to begin with, maybe I'm a hylic?
