Where I live people get more surprised if you ARE religious. About 65% are members of the church though, but very few actually believe in god. And religious groups are very respected and not looked down on either.
Getting confused here. If they don't believe in god, then why should they maintain their church membership? Is there any advantage of being a church member? Or do the non-members face any discrimination?

Maybe a bit of both.

Agnostic, is that when you know something's up but give both organized religion and mainstream science a failing grade with fail sauce on top?
What do you mean 'know somethings up'?

everyone always asks questions about the belief in "god" but it's never defined.. god is a word that has to many meanings. i don't really know how to answer such a question.
Agnostic then?
that's what i usually tell people.. i'm glad i'm not an atheist, because then i'd have to tell people that i am one. it's become cult-like and they make me cringe as much as the churchgoers.
Agnostics seem to get much more respect, usually.
Which country is that?

I am agnostic. There is definitely a higher power at work. Karma, anyone?

"...Some of our great minds were atheists..."
Can you name a few?
How would you define existence? What does really exist? What is reality? How would you define a conscious spiritual being? What happens when I die, do I stop existing, even if I'm a spiritual being?
These are just a few questions that I ask from time to time.

Non existence does not exist. You will always be and you always have been. What you experience thereafter is dependent on your beliefs.
I'm an atheist btw.
You were unheard of a century ago. Considered odd a couple decades ago. In the minority last year.
But you are accepted now.

Actually atheists might be the largest religious (?) group in the world, if the agnostics are included to their number. In the US and EU, only around 10-20% of the population is actually practicing any religion. So... we are the majority.
i find it funny that someone could believe with such fervor that there is no afterlife when there is no evidence to prove or counter it. just like how there is no evidence to prove or counter a statement like "there is an ominpresent entity-being called god," or "there is with certainty an afterlife." all i know is that i don't know.

No internet forum is complete without a religious debate.

Seems that its hard to even make a simple poll about something like religion, and not enter some slippery slopes.
i also hit the atheist button. And everytime i come across a poll like that,
Bill Hicks comes to mind
Or this

What ever religion, you are fucked right? 
Haha, that was a good one. everyone always asks questions about the belief in "god" but it's never defined.. god is a word that has to many meanings. i don't really know how to answer such a question.

like anyone else of a different point of view or faith, i can respect what you believe.. i just get annoyed when people go around proselytizing their beliefs and talking down to other people.
I am god. You are too.
Dank stop trolling.I'm surprised that the majority voted for being an atheist.
I am not the one trolling. We are conscious spiritual beings having a human experience.
Would you prove for me the existence of what is commonly called a "spirit"?
My $,02.
Lay down in a dark quiet room. Relax your body. Let go of all your muscles. Believe you are moving from side to side without moving, or believe waves of energy are running down your body. Repeat until you are able to clear your mind and leave your body. This is astral projection. Focus on your breath and you may see the proof you seek.
Or stare at the center of your eye for a minute in a mirror.
The proof of something extra dimensional comes from experience, not physical proof that our lower dimensional minds are unable to grasp.
