I have no religious affiliation. I have a personal relationship with God the Father, the Creator of all things, through His only Son, my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. His Holy Spirit dwells in me. It’s not about religion, it’s about the ultimate relationship you can have. Religion, like everything else, is corrupted.

“Everybody has a religious identity. You can’t get away from it. The only question is which one, not whether or not.”

That was my exact thought from that title.

More accurately their religions identity is ‘damned’.

"Everybody has a religious identity. You can’t get away from it. The only question is which one, not whether or not."

That's only true if you consider the lack of a religious identity a religious identity. Which would mean that the concept is equal to its negation. Which would mean the concept has no meaning.

That's a religious identity. As described it is generalized Christianity, but it's not a lack of religious identity. Not everyone is some form of Christian. And I suspect you actually follow some particular branch of Christianity anyway.

Probably due to the flourishing of non-denominational, Bible-based churches - I’d wager there has not been a real decline in those who identify as Christian...

Atheism is a religion and communism is organized atheism.

How many of that 20% when something bad is happening in front of them will say “Oh God”?

Evolutionist is a religious identity. More than 20 percent are evolutionists.

And many people lie to pollsters figuring their lives are their own personal business.

Not that religious affiliation necessarily means anything.

Sure they do. It’s called “me, me, me, me first!”

I went to a funeral Mass last week, in the church I used to attend. The priest was black, spoke with an African (?) accent, and I never understood a single word of what he said.

What a bigoted statement.

A black priest? Oh the horrors.

An African accent? Is that like a North American or European accent??
