How important is religion in your life and your decisions and actions currently?

On a scale of 0 (no importance) to 5 (dominating importance)


Has this changed substantially during your life? In what way(s)?

I, of course, chose zero.

That has not changed significantly for about seventy years -- though it may have been one at about age twenty (I was once married in a church).

The problem with this question is that many Christians don't see themselves as religious (even though the rest of us do) and believe that they are in a relationship with God/Jesus, (even though they conduct numerous religious rituals lie prayer, baptism, communion etc), so they will most likely vote 0.

As for me, religion has absolutely zero influence on my life right now. The bible has absolutely no bearing on any decisions I make.

As for when I was a Christian, well I wouldn't have liked to have called myself religious as I didn't see myself that way. I did not see Christianity as a religion, much like most Christians don't. (even though the bible makes it quite clear Christianity is a religion - James 1:26-27). However, if we are going to class being "in a relationship with God" as being in a religion, then at one stage it was extremely important in my life. I lived my life following Christ's standards. I did so very sincerely. Every single day, my life revolved around Jesus and what it was that he wanted in my life. The bible was considered extremely important. In fact I saw it as the word of God, whether it was infallible or not.
