What is your Belief? A statistic for RF

I'm an atheist but I also believe in a non-revealed religion so I picked that option.
"Believe in" is an awkward way of framing it, but I suppose all types of mystery/mystical religions are non-revealed since its practitioners work directly with the divine and don't utilize third party intermediaries like prophets. It's not really something "believed in" as much as practiced though.

How does that work?
The non-revealed aspect doesn't mean unrevealed by gods, it means there's no intermediary you must have between yourself and accessing that spiritual path. One that doesn't include gods in my case.
Edit: here's a really old thread about it: What does Non-Revealed mean?
How did you arrive at your definition?

Your thread title and poll ask two distinct questions. Personally, I have loads of different beliefs and I don't identify with any of the categories in your poll. Sorry.
For simplicities sake it was the RF definition for the DIR. Though we don't have a definitions page for that section anymore unfortunately. *adds to notes.*

I choose to refer to mine as more of a natural religion. But it could also be a subcultural religion (a reflection and reaction to personal life experience) as well. Often, I take issue with "revealed" religion as a label for just a few better known groups. As I believe my religion to be revealed through reasoning, nature and my life experience. However, I also believe that the dark divine has revealed itself steadily in the course of my life. (Dark generally meaning taboo, forbidden, overlooked and/or shunned)
Revealed does have its established and accepted meaning. So I get that and just put mine in the "non-revealed" yet natural religion category.

Agnostic but leaning towards non-revealed philosophy. So I'm really not sure.

Buddhism is a non-revealed religion. Siddhartha was just some ordinary bloke who couldn't stand living with his parents anymore and went awol.

Revealed as listed in RF. meaning, whatever is not Non-revealed, including Hinduism and Buddhism.
I'm agnostic. I don't 'believe' I'm agnostic, I AM agnostic.

As I said, I have lots of different beliefs, you'll have to be more specific.

I chose the last option in that it is the closest, with caret:
"I believe in God, but I do not believe in any ^^ religion." -- ^particular^
I am an Omnist with Christian background and primary beliefs of 100% Liberal Quaker and 97% Jewish as defined by BN Quiz years ago.
As an Omnist, I believe all religions have some truth, but no religion has it completely. I contemplate all and make personal decisions of what to accept for further reflection, and what to respectively leave behind.
