    Hey guys, I have a project that is due three days after my surgery, and I can't work on projects post-op obviously, so the professor suggested I complete the project and turn it in before hand. This is for my theology class.

    I decided to pick MG for my project. So, I need demographics first, like what country you're from, as well as what religion you follow. Please help me out if you can...

    On the school I was taught Evangelism

    Right now I do believe in a God... But not in religion at all :D
    So I will clasify it as Other (not Atheism)

    I don't believe in God since you can't prove that he's real. Just note that most of my family follows Islam, but not the Middle-East Islam. The Yugoslavian kind.

    Basically that, Islam/religion in whole, is part of their everyday lives.. For example: You do business with someone, they would instantly ask an outsider if he believes in god. If you buy flowers from old women, she will say "God's blessings" or similar stuff to you. They are very open minded in a good and bad way lol.

    Cool, thanks everyone. If I can get at least 20 votes in, I'd have reasonable statistics for a theology project. And HC, I completely agree with you. All of this mathematics shit for theology class. I mean, all we do in there is talk about God, where the hell did demographics come from anyway.

    I never stated a so called "opinion". I stated the fact that I am agnostic, and explained what it means to have that belief. Some people actually don't know what it means.

    Yes, you could say it's a lot less strict. Some people still pray a lot and go to mosques, and you celebrate "holidays" like ramadan and bajram. The women also have a lot more freedom. It just depends from family to family, but mine is very free. :)

    Registered to Orthodox, however i don't go to church for several reasons, nor i follow "the way" they think or pray.

    I do believe in certain thing though.

    Since it's normal in Finland to be either registered into protestants or orthodoxes or catholic or become non-registered, i have kept the orthodox for no particular reason.

    Sorry for going off topic but since you follow other Islam, do you follow the other (Arabic) muslims guidelines of not eating nor drinking whilst praying 5 times a day while your fasting or are you allowed to drink like Hindus do. I can't recall what is the name of hinduism festival where they fast but they are allowed to drink (not 100% sure but this is what i've been told by my hindu friend).
