The majority of my friends are atheist, so trust me, it's fine. :-)
I, however, am Catholic. I go to church on Sunday, I pray, and I believe in Jesus. I can understand why people don't believe it, but I just do. That's how I was born and raised.
I was raised attending both Lutheran and Catholic services with a strong scientific bent to my upbringing as well, so I was used to compromising science and the Bible and various aspects of Christianity early on. Somewhere in between confirmation (eighth grade) and the beginning of college, I lost my blind faith in God and Christianity. My first year of college I went through a short Wiccan phase and decided it wasn't for me. Last fall when I was in Ecuador, I went to a couple Catholic Masses, hoping I could believe in it again, because that belief really was a comfort when I believed it completely, but it couldn't be regained. Overall I've come to see organized religions as something unnatural, because belief is too subjective to be 100% true for every person

HEY! My buddy, my pal. Same here. No God or Allah or whatever else for me, but I'm happy for and respect those who do belive.
I always thought budhism was kinda neat though, and now at school I take yoga classes and am part of a little.. er.. once a week group of people who meditate, and it's kinda cool. Im not budhist, but I guess you could say im starting to take an intrest in that kind of thing? ..... just because Im atheist doesnt mean i cant apply some budhist.. herm. .. THINGIES to my life.. or something. :/
I'm Roman Catholic "officially" but I do such a poor job of going to church, etc., that I probably shouldn't even claim that. But I definitely do believe in God and goodness and some kind of greater power. I find it hard to look at nature and the universe and not believe that there's something else out there.
