    No, but I drink religiously if that counts.

    Raises can of Guinness with both hands above head and mumbles a prayer.

    My favourite drink, if I'm out at a pub, is a Stoli and Coke (Smirnoff, if Stoli isn't available). Like many people of East Slavic descent, I like to drink vodka.

    And I don't consider myself otherwise religious.

    I'm agnostic.

    It's not that I say "i don't know".

    It's that I say "we cannot know".


    Militant agnostic?

    I'm a Catholic. I don't label myself religious. I'm not big into labels, or categorising and pigeon-holing people, as this is a very inaccurate guide to anything. People are a lot more complex than that.

    You're aware that Catholic is the more specific pigeon holed label here?
    As a Catholic do you follow all the required dogmas?

    I am and would not deny it either.

    I was raised non-religious & have no thoughts or beliefs on the subject.

    Religion is a non-entity to me, but I respect the right of others to worship as they see fit as long as they're not imposing it upon me.

    Our pasta, who art in a colander, draining be your noodles. Thy noodle come, Thy sauce be yum, on top some grated Parmesan. Give us this day our garlic bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trample on our lawns. And lead us not into vegetarianism, but deliver us some pizza, for thine is the meatball, the noodle, and the sauce, forever and ever. RAmen

    You know our prayer!

    You are surely destined to go to heaven and frolick in the beery rain spewed forth from the beer volcanoe, whilst buxom wenches freshly minted from the stripper factory hang on your every move.

    (You did of course say the prayer in a pirate accent, didn't you?)

    I like spaghetti but I don't believe it created the universe.

    And that's perfectly ok. But note that unlike pretty much every other religion in history, we won't kill/maim you for your blasphemy.

    Well you're still alive and un-maimed, and it seems like that whole spaghetti thing is by definition designed to mock and insult religions and the religious so I'll take what you're saying with a pinch of salt.

    Not a bit. The religion is a lot like having a penis thing summarises where I stand.

    Not sure where you are getting the mockery from.

    It's a question of logic (created to dispute the teaching of dogma as science in the classroom). Logic being, i can't disprove yours, neither can you disprove mine. Therefore, both deserve equal time in science class. Or, you could just give all the time to logical conjecture based on an overwhelming body of observable evidence, aka science.

    Any reason you can give to claim my religion is "mocking" can also be said about yours, whichever that may be.

    The op said 'In history'. You may be aware of the odd crusade, inquisition and such in history.
