Question Is this really a religion?

Is being non-dominate really a religion? Why there's no church 4 it? Is it wrong 2 be it? What is the true meaning of it?

Me, I consider myself non-dominate in religion because I don't want 2 be catgorize in a spectfic
religious group, what people tell me I should be in. For instance, I'm black, so automaticlly I should be baptist. Also, I consider myself non-dominate in religion because I believe in a mixture of all religions not just one, or I feel as though I should judge myself 2 see what's right or wrong.

Are all these definitions true 2 tha meaning of non-dominate in religion? If not, then what am I, if I feel this way?

theres non-denominational churches. Well, as far as Christianity goes. And just because your black, doesn't mean you should automatically be anything. Go with what you believe in. Also keep in mind you can be a catholic, baptist or whatever and still respectfully disagree with some aspects of the religion. I know alot of people will disagree with that, but its whatever.

... Hey, you know another true meaning of religion? One's own reality. It can be a religion to you. Anything can be someone's religion.

Ack, I stopped being in any group of types. I am not even atheist anymore.

One of the worst things about religion is it harbours extremism, if by non-dominant
you mean non-extremist then thats good.

A religion is a set of beliefs and practices generally held by a human community, involving adherence to codified beliefs and rituals and study of ancestral or cultural traditions and mythology, as well as personal faith and mystic experience. The term "religion" refers to both the personal practices related to communal faith and to group rituals and communication stemming from shared conviction.

Thats how wikipedia defines religion.

I dont even truly know all the differences between denominations. I think its ignorant you even need separate churches to worship the same god under the same basic beliefs system. But then again jews christians and muslims all agreeably worship the same god and fight over it so who am i to argue.

I guess its k-mart vs target.. for some reason people have their preference. Just follow your own beliefs man. You dont even need chruch to be a good person, spiritual faithful whatever. The title attached to your church beyond that means even less. Go with what makes you happy and feels right.
