I periodically like to do these stupid online tests to quantify my religious beliefs. Here's where I am at the moment. In spite of these results I still see myself as connected to the Christian tradition. It is why I updated my bio to say #HumanisticChristian #Nontheist
#humanisticchristian #nontheist
I identify as a #NonTheist in that I don't #Believe in #Deity in the sense of having #Faith.
Deity exists because people say so.
It's been several decades since I took a philosophy of religion course, though I remember that "belief" doesn't really define religion as much as practices do. Think of the spectrum of #Christianity - #Amish, #Orthodox. #Baptists, #JehovasWitnesses, and others.
They all believe in #Jesus

Every day I try to listen to a secular/ non-theist/ humanistic talk, often from secular faith communities.
Today I'm making use of this collection of thought-provoking talks from Non-Theist Quakers in the UK.
