Me personally, I consider myself an irreligious theist, specifically a panentheist since I believe that God is the Universe and Mother Nature Himself, as well as the Force of Nature Himself. But I don't prescribe to a particular religion, such as I don't really entirely believe in the Bible or that Jesus is our Lord and Savior and stuff like that.
When I was in my pre-teens and early teens, I used to be atheist because I believe that God couldn't exist because I can't directly observe Him. Because growing up, my family was traditionally Roman Catholic and I was baptized as Catholic and everyone told me that "the can see God" or that "you can hear Him every time you pray". But I always thought that was bullshit because if He's everywhere, then why can't I see him when I walk around or why can't I hear His voice when I'm praying. They say you only really get to see God after you die.
But now I kinda realize that it made sense if God was a some kind of force of Nature, since He's kinda like the Universe and all the energy in it, I guess it makes sense for Him to being omnipresent. And I see Him as taking part in certain occurences that happen to us that seem to be beyond our control.
My mom converted and was baptized as a Pentecostal (which is a denomination of evangelical Protestant Christianity) and I go to her church sometimes and read the Bible, but I don't really believe in that stuff. The pastor does sometimes make good points about life, though.
