ISFP, I'm a Deist and have a good bit of Gnostic beliefs. I have an agnostic view of god.

ESTJ, and I just recently started going to a Methodist church, like, about two months ago. Before that, I had never been to any religious service. I had more or less been raised to believe that religion was only a cause for problems and that it "shouldn't be shoved down anyone's throat," but never having any real knowledge on it, I decided to give it a try and I like it very much. So it's like I'm the opposite of the stereotypical NT on here.

Could you also state if you believe in God or not? I know a few people in churches who don't think a word of what the pastor says is true and just go there because of some reason

^You might want to edit that into your OP. I edited it into my response for you.

I'm an ISTP, INFP or an INTP or maybe I'm an ESTP looking for an XXXX or a ????. Either way, I'm a Model Agnostic who loves to talk about himself. I hate cake, even though people buy me a cake once a year(inexplicably, on the same exact day). Although I tend to lean towards atheism as my favorite religion, I've also been known to dabble in Discordianism, COE, Thelema, Cannibalism, the Church of Google, and I also like long walks on the beach with Bob Dobbs and the flying spaghetti monster.

I'm deeply religious, just not a huge fan of organized religion.

I generally cool with whatever works for people.

I just don't like to show those I don't trust my religious side.

(It takes a really long time for me to open up this side to people)

ENTP - Reformed Christian battling organized religion. Maybe even a Christian Existentialist.
Or a Nihilist.

It depends on the day.

Yes, I have for about two years now.

ENFP - agnostic. I view the existence of an afterlife and God as something that is useful to believe, I'm not sure I have any reason to believe it. Organised religion isn't really my thing either. It might be the organised part as much as the religion part. I grew up in it, and not being a goldfish, I found it insanely repetitive.

Agnostic/Atheist

if such a thing is possible, probably isn't, better just go with agnostic to be safe.

Raised Christian, presently I don't see much value in spending my time pondering my spirituality. I believe that the majority of people who partake in organized religion do so out of fear or ignorance, and frankly I have trouble mustering the energy to develop my own spiritual outlook.

I think that everyone is entitled to his/her opinion but I pray that that opinion will be based upon their own independent thought and not the principles thrust upon them by the church.

INTP - Agnostic atheist.

I don't really need any existential or spiritual support from any creed, but I can see how some people would. I guide myself.

I'm not necessarily relgious. I'm spiritual.

I do believe in God. I believe that God, from a metaphorical standpoint, encompasses figures such as Jesus, Muhammad, Lao Tzu, Moses, the Buddha, and so on. I kind of mush all religious values into one supreme faith that is of metaphysical significance.

I am NOT Unitarian Universalist.

A spiritual connection with God should be personal, and something that you feel. Practical faith is more important than theoretical faith, which I think UU is. I've given them a shot, and they're too wrapped up in their minds.

I've found solace in the Unity Movement. It's more or less a Philosophy, because it isn't strictly an organized act of religon, though there are a small number of churches.

I open my mind and soul to any and every belief.
