To answer the other question, for me, I was baptisized under Catholicism, so technically catholic. However, life here is so full of shit I don't believe the ignorantly over-optimistic BS of the church these days.

I'm no Atheist however, I do believe that God exists. I just believe it in a pretty different way than most modern christians. I don't dismiss neither science nor religion, and make my own conclusions about the developments in both.

For example, I believe God...:

-Caused the Big Bang.

-Is not Big Good, but neutral.

-Created life, but not instantly making deers and birds, but small cells and bacteries, and guided their evolution into the future species. He didn't make X an X, but rather made an A, and let it become on it's own through time an X, helping it along the way.

-Sent the meteor that killed indirectly the dinosaurs, as punishment for being so "bloodthirsty". The climatic changes that followed plus the geological shift was to make a world better suited to the future species.

-Lives in Heaven, which is not in just any sky, but in another plane of existence that we can't reach or even comprehend.

-Is also the same God(s) other religions believe in. Only that others believe in Him as multiple gods of different things, combined with their cultural beliefs, but they are all one and the same, just known by multiple names.
