May I Ask, What Religion Are You?

Interesting response. How would you answer the question in the OP ("What religion are you?") if you did not believe in God?
Would a different wording convey different meaning? I mean, the response to which you were referring ("I am an atheist") would certainly seem to imply an equivalent answer ("I have no religion"), but would it make a big difference to you which answer was chosen?
And if so...why?

Hi Walter&Debbie. Welcome to RF.
I don't have a religion that I subscribe to. But I am interested in all things religion, so I enjoy hanging out here.
Pleasure to meet you.

Mind if I ask you a question or two about your beliefs, Walter? As I said before, I'm very interested in religion.

So, Nicene Creed stuff, then?
What about Biblical inerrancy? Do you believe in that?

No Sir, I don't believe in any man-made religion, but Pure Religion is what the Bible teaches, Old and New Testament, King James mostly.

What are you saying "no sir" to?
The Nicene Creed or Biblical inerrancy? (Or both?)
And what do you mean by "King James mostly?" What makes King James so special?

And the King James version of the Bible? What makes it so special? (Just curious.)

I find the King James is more accurate,
Why the King James Bible of 1611 Remains the Most Popular Translation in History
Not only was it the first 'people's Bible,' but its poetic cadences and vivid imagery have had an enduring influence on Western culture.

I agree. The KJV is very beautifully and poetically translated. And (for it's time) it served as a very accurate translation.
But none of that means that it is the unblemished disclosure of God's will, right? It is possible to examine the body of texts we now have access to and (perhaps) come up with a more accurate translation.... at least in theory we can do that.
Also, I wonder if King's James enthusiasts aren't really so because that's the version they were taught and came to appreciate rather than the reasons they give for the KJV being superior.
Food for thought anyway. In any case, "most popular" isn't much of a selling point with me. As Martin Luther King repeated, "What's popular isn't always right, and what's right isn't always popular."
A lot of works (like my favorite book ever, Plato's Republic) contain erroneous ideas. Just because I think the book contains a lot of truth, doesn't mean I think it is completely true.

Well, I look forward to you coming back tomorrow. I'd love to debate you further.
But you're last post kinda sounded like a spambot peddling $50 Bible exegeses.
