Does anyone believe in god but not religion?

Question

Does anyone believe in god but not religion?

Answer 1

I believe in God, I believe Jesus is his son, I believe religions have became flawed by the influences of man over the years.

Answer 2

I do. I believe that most religions are merely a business enterprise producing wealth for the diocese / reverend etc. This is blatantly obvious & yet folks donate their hard earned money to these people. They (seemingly) use whatever they see fit to take so to promote their own opulence.  I find nothing wrong w/ praying to God without being inside a specified building, or in the company of others.

Answer 3

I believe that God never intended that people become religious. I think that was a creation of Man and his carnal nature.What God intended for was a full on relationship with him with no separation. But what the church has become is so far from what God had planned it is sad.  

Answer 4

yes actually.

I believe in God as energy. We all are part of it.

I'm not religious at all.

I'm spiritual.

Answer 5

You can't have one without the other.

Answer 6

Be more specific.

Religion is nothing more or less than mankind's attempt to understand the Divine.

But I think what you're referring to here is ORGANIZED religion, as in the main world religions.  In that case, I'm in that category.  I think of myself as "spiritual, but not religious".  None of the religions are 100% of the way there, if you ask me.  So I just go my own way.  Sometimes people come with me, sometimes they don't.

Answer 7

you have to have both...and i do believe in mother of god,GOD holy spirit and angels im roman catholic..so i know alot about religion

Answer 8

Absolutely.

See, religion is man's attempt to get to God.

Christianity is God's attempt to get to man.

Religion is what crucified Jesus Christ.  It was used as a tool by satan.

But God used that crucifixion to be able to give us eternal life through Jesus' sacrifice.  

So, yep, I definitely believe in God but not in religion.

Answer 9

Contrary to what bible thumpers may think I do not think you need both. I am an atheist but I have many friends that hate organized religion and just believe that there is a higher power.
