Technically I'm Sikh but I've never been interested in my religion so I'd say I'm Atheist. I won't ever have an interest or believe anything to do with religion and I'm glad I'm this way.
 
Religion is just rules that people choose to live by. They were made by man, not by a 'god' of sorts, they are just extremely popular books and teachings that people seem happy to follow blindly.

As for god, well, I think there is a lot that science can't explain. For example, The Big Bang, where did the means for the big bang to occur originate from? It has to come from somewhere, if nothing exists, it can't go 'bang' can it?

I do not think there is a god watching over the Earth though, it's just something that people like to believe in. There is no proof of that at all. Obviously, there is no proof there isn't a god either, but it's not a good idea to assume something is real because you want it to be real, that's an easy way to get yourself thrown in the loony bin.

On top of that (as it's sort of related), I do think that there is extraterrestrial life out there, but I doubt they have found or are visiting this planet just yet. If they do know about this planet, they could be the 'god figures' of old.
 
Agnostic, have nothing against beliefs at all.

I get annoyed at more radical movements and institutional religion as these create real life problems.

I am a great believer in science but since "scio me nihil scire" applies to everyone, I don't exclude the possibility of higher powers.

This. I also don't care if others are religious, as long as they don't push it in my face.

I'm the same with football.

So you like watching men run around playing with balls in short shorts, great but please don't think i care enough to listen :p
 
Agnostic all though some would probably put me in the atheist category. It very much depends how you describe atheism and there is a very wide range of descriptions.
Science can not rule out a deity and as such it's a faith based assumption to say their cant be a deity, which is how some describe atheism.
I think it's very unlikely a deity exists, but it can't be proven, it also makes no difference to my life.

Anyone putting you in the Atheist category would be wrong as you aren't decided against there being a deity. :)
 
Agnostic.

Frankly, there's not enough proof for either, and since that is so, I'm more than happy to take things as it comes. I try and live a good life, if a deity does exist I'm sure they'd look kindly on that xD If not, oh well xD
