Tips for a Better Submission

‘I’ and ‘me’

6. Remember, you don’t have to tear down others’ beliefs to express
your own beliefs
How do you identify yourself (Catholic, Baptist, Jewish, agnostic, atheist,
Sunni, Buddhist, etc..)?
Choose the one statement you agree with most:
I am a devout follower of my religion/spiritual path and have little/no doubt
that my chosen faith is the correct spiritual path for me.
I strongly believe in my religion/spiritual path, but I have some doubts.
I have mixed feelings on my religion/spiritual path; there is much I have
yet to reconcile.
I have some belief in my religion (however, it is not strong). I mainly participate
because of cultural/family reasons.
I am drawn to spirituality, I believe there is something out there; I am just
not sure what is out there.
I honestly don’t know.
I am pretty sure that there is no God/higher power/greater spirit, but I am
not 100% sold on atheism.
I know that God does not exist and there is no higher power. I tend to believe
the answers science has provided us.
I am not only atheist, but also anti-religion of any form.
