Not really, no.
I'm not a churchgoer, my family is not religious, I was never really presented with a religion of any kind.. so I never created a view on God. I don't really have a theory on how things came to be, but I don't think anybody knows, so why invest so much time and effort into something you'll never be able to know the truth about?
It's just something I tiptoe over anywhere I go.

I like this idea, but I think that the 'God', unlike any of the other examples, would probably have the power to completely and intentionally hide itself away from the physical world. Hence why the God concept is such a powerful social tool.

I have -my- gods, but they're not anyone else's, so recounting my beilef in them is frankly a waste of energy.

I belive in god. I don't go to church or pray very much either but yeah, my parents are catholics but my mom goes to Christian church every now and then. She did go more often before but not as much now. We used to go to church every now and then but I don't know what happened with that.

I propose Hug-a-Monkey Day, every April 16th. You find a monkey somewhere, and hug it as a sign of thanks for being around to evolve. Without the monkeys, we wouldn't be here, so show some appreciation on this joyous occasion.

I believe in the possibility that there is a god, but at the same time I also believe in the possibility that there is no god. A few years back I did not believe in god because I felt that there was no evidence to prove that he existed, but after some time I realized that there was also no evidence to prove that he did not exist. Therefore, I take a position in the middle.

As long as neither side gives me evidence to prove whether god exists or not, I will continue to believe in both possibilities.

I guess you could say I’m agnostic.

I don't have all the answers, but I'm leaning slightly to a God. I also believe that God could be explained through science, as in it doesn't have to be God vs. Science.

if there is a God then there should be no problem with religion and science...

the problem is that people think they are smarter than they are and they make things so black and white on issues and don't allow the two to mix

Yes it does. Most holidays are related to the church.

I've tried, but I just can't see Christianism and Science mixing.

I do believe in some powerful being that created the universe but I find it hard to believe in heaven and hell and everlasting life after death. So overall my answer is yes.

I don't believe in any god, unicorns, flying sphegetti monsters, IPUs, Jason Voorhees', or any other fictional nonsense. I fail to understand how anyone could really. Not so deep down, I feel kind of sorry for anyone who is religious and I silently chuckle to myself whenever someone tells me what their religion is.

I've always found it strange how millions upon millions of people could be so wrong. :/ Oh well, common sense and logic never really have been a dominant human trait. Just a rarity it would seem.

in my view you can't be any more sure that there is a God than that there is no God...

neither side has definative proof of their viewpoint

Yeah, there's a reason for that. Didn't the word "holiday" come from "holy" and "day"*? Now, isn't holiness a religious concept? Yeah, I thought so. So, skipping Groundhog Day, Thanksgiving, and Independence Day, it makes sense that all the holidays in the US have religious roots.
