I am not religious but I do believe in a Creator that is the origin of life
I'm not a religious-person, but i respect other people's faith and belief in religion.
I was not always a believer , but at some point with me that something had happened to me and that no one was pushing , I'm a 100% believer and I am sure that the right people themselves will find their faith !

Self being, self aware without being told or taught, then you have you very own and very private form of religion.
Master of your own religion or a slave to someone else's.I like that.
Thw best type of alchemy comes from within, when you have become, and understand that part of the whole universe you are.

It's good to know your self, when you just know.
Good.
I see you.
the problem with religion is that it stopped fulfilling its purpose to humanity when science took off. Religion is stuck in the dark ages.
If you you really want religion to be of benefit to you, do not pay attention to any dogmatic bullshit. Instead, you must become a scholar and do the actual research. This is not for the weak-minded or faint-hearted. If you do not like having your beliefs challenged, this is not for you. Perform alchemy on religion. Do the work. Religion in modern culture as it stands is for the lazy.

Free will is lost with religion, carry on being sheep 
All religions contradict each other with nonsense aimed at thos who cannot think for themselves.
Please wake up out of your slumber, I suppose you believe in politicians too.
Some people are two faced (hypocrites) they join the armed forces then go kill/murder another human.
Go read the EvilBible

I believe in a god (the creator) but not the christian god and jesus.
What if our perception of religion is wrong. What if its a guide on how to live so you can live fore-ever, but not through a external judgement. You know right from wrong so every time you feel bad through your actions you littlle by little weakening your soul or life force or whatever you want to call it. Bigger the wrong the bigger the loss. I doubt a perfect creation cant have that builtin. So maybe the what religion or the who's who in it is not the point at all, but rather the how to live. But mostly people tend to "believe" they are right and to be right somebody else must be wrong. And doing bad things in the name of good is acheiving something other than damning themselves.
Problem with the bolded part is that sociapaths and psychopaths don't have this psychological feature* to the extent you are talking about or at all. And sometimes it works in reverse--there are people who get as excited as someone talking about their favorite Christmas memory when they are reminiscing the torture and murder of someone.
*A part of the brain creates moral feelings and can be manipulated in the lab using an EMP. It also functions differently within each person naturally. So if god created man, he or she or it did so without giving humans an equal moral compass.

Yes I am a religious person.
I believed that God is real.
I believed that God is real.
I am not. I still don't see a good reason why I should become a religious person.
You'd be a happier person. You wouldn't need to worry about real life issues - you could just stick your head in the sand and think Vod'll figure it out.
i cant call im religious person but i believe what my religion said

Difficult subject, as others views are generally not respected. But i believe that everybody is alowed their belief as long as they dont try to convert me im fine with it.
Yes but you have to realize, they are trying to save you from enternal torment in hell. It's not an act of conversion, it's an act of mercy.I ignore people that threaten me.
Then your thinking is still in error. It's like me saying "Don't eat McDonald's every day or you will get a heart attack."
And you rebuff with, I ignore people that threaten me.

It's completely and totally not like "Don't eat McDonald's every day or you will get a heart attack." at all, in anyway, shape or form.
"Don't eat McDonald's every day or you will get a heart attack." is a valid argument because we have a mountain of evidence that suggests eating large amounts of unhealthy food is very bad for our bodies and does increase heart attack chances greatly.
In complete polar contrast "Believe/join in my religious cult, or burn in hell." has ZERO evidence attached to it. Since NOBODY knows what happens when we die, people claiming they do know and present it as fact, are simply LYING.
You are going off in a different direction again so let me realign your thinking. I wasn't claiming anything about evidence (it's a matter of faith anyway), I was only claiming that it was NOT a threat.
Remember, a religion person doesn't say believe or *I* will send you to hell. They are simply educating you on the implications of your sinful nature (similar to eating McDonalds every day) and the consequence that results.
They are not thereating you, they are trying to help you.
You choose the religion which is true, not one that suits you. Catholicism is the true faith, all others are false. Some are very false (Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Atheism etc), some are partially true and only have certain tenets which are false (Protestantism, Judaism).
I would say even those that have matching tenets are still false, if they are not part of the real church (Catholic).

I've never eat at McDonalds because the food at McDonalds can make my body be a obesity. My experience eating in McDonalds shows that food in McDonalds very unhygienic
You won't become obese from eating it once, but you will suffer eternal punishment if you sin just once. There is a huge difference here.
yes, sure. I won't become obese from eating it once. but found the fact who can scares me, that made me will not to do it again
