I don't believe in religion. I believe in God and Jesus, but nothing else.
It's called: Christianity, Islam, Atheism, Buddhism, Hindu, and Pagan (old)
Fix it...
And I'm Atheist. It's spelled Atheism, by the way...

I believe in something that put the universe into motion, though I am unsure over whether this 'being' actually cares about what you think, how you feel or controls some sort of 'afterlife' thing.
God, who smokes weed, remember?
No, honestly... It is some kind of pantheism. Also I share the faith/belief in something like a soul/spirit, a hereafter and ideas about reincarnation.
In my opinion it is so rediculous to believe, that we all have only one chance for life! What about people who die in the early age (e.g. ~5years) because of cancer or something...? What about people who were tortured or maltreated their hole life? Just had been unlucky in the great lottery of life? And on the other hand people who act like the evil himself, but having a great, long and fulfilled life? So where is the retributive justice here? There's just no retributive justice in nature you say? So... in this case I give a fucking damn on that 'universe'-thing and it would be better not to have been born at all!
Curiously i find myself praying to something/someone in really bad times, that makes me feel a bit better, since everything around me is shit (probably that's the reason i lost faith).

though religions like Buddhism are ok cuz they are nonthiestic
I guess thinking that somewhere, some man in the sky is smiling at you
can really relieve the stress you endure in this harsh world. But, that's just me.
Look, do you really believe in something like freedom of the will? Most people were born in very difficult social circumstances, and it seems to be quite natural when they get criminal or violent. Of course, not every person gets criminal, just because he has a damn fucked up life. That's not how it works, the ways of life are mostly just too complex. But obviously there is some statistical correlation between that.
I'm pretty sure, that we are only and just some kind of spectators in that game of life, with only minimal possibilities for decisions. Neuroscientist are telling us, that our subconsciousness already made all decisions just before we are recognizing them with our conscious mind! Also we are rather always living in the past (something about a half second).
So... how much possibilies for decisions do we really have...? How far are we really accountable for our lifes and actions...?
I guess we are all damned to live many, many lifes with many, many roles... some are good ones, some are bad ones... But all in all it will be mostly good ones, since there seems to be some trend in history of life, or evolution (I hope so...).
At one time you're a brutal cop, at another time maybe a peaceful hippie, at another time some jesus freak, next time some atheist, maybe in another life some silly greenfly, and in another life maybe a dolphin or a monkey. At the end (after billions of years and millions of lifes) you have lived mostly all kinds of lifes. Wouldn't it be exactly that, what we would call "absolute fairness"?
But I'm also just conjecturing...

Oh and, where is Satanism?
