Just curious to see what religious feeling do most libertarians have. let’s begin with myself: atheist.
I used to be Christian, born and raised in Texas within a Christian family. I studied a bit of Buddhism for a while, but this was more of a philosophical pursuit rather than a religious one.
However, I’ve been agnostic for a while now.
Athiest, explicitly anti-faith.
Mostly atheists here (including myself) but a good number of religious people too.
Most atheists here tend to be friendly to religion (e.g. myself, notwithstanding my first post on this forum) although a few aren’t.
I am agnostic. I neither accept the existance of God, nor do I dismiss the existance of God.
I know this will degrade the topic but I can’t resist.

?!?!?!
ANARCHY SYMBOL - Also known as the Circle-A. Many people do not give it much thought but the anarchy symbol is also of the occult. Enclosed in a circle is the letter A, which represents anarchy. Anarchy is the absence of all law and disobedience to any existing law. This is the nature of Satan our adversary who rebelled against our creator, “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law” is the one and law in the Satanic religion. When applied spiritually this doctrine is the doctrine of sin (I-John 3:4).
This could be a problem for theist libertarians.
Christian.
I was born Jewish but I’ve never been much for religion. I currently consider myself an atheist. I do not believe in God. I don’t really care if others do though.
Christian.
I was born/raised Missouri Synod Lutheran, and was semi-devout for awhile. Right now I’m atheistic/agnostic, but with some neopagan leanings. I’m really liking the sound of neopaganism, not gonna lie. Dunno how my family would take that, though…
The whole problem with people decrying various symbols completely misunderstand their nature: firstly they are a from of communcation from the comunicator to the communicatee and so represenst the formers message and secondly symbols are mulitfaceted and the sma esymbol can be used to mean different things depending on the context- the best Biblical example of this the the Devil being referred to as a serpent and the bronze serpent lifted up as a for runner to the cross of Christ. So it depends on what I mean to comunicate rather than the form necessarily dictating the meaning. So I could use the anarchy symbol without necessarily communicating that the only moral code is to do what you want; that said it may practically be unwise move due the greater possibility of misunderstanding using symbols.
But on a principled, Christian, level I have no problem using the anarchy symbol.
Does the bible specifically refer to the anarchy symbol, or did someone else simply make the interpretation that that’s what the anarchy symbol represents? If you’re talking about anarcho-capitalism, for example, there is no absence of law. Laws and regulations, and enforcement, are formed by the owner of the property. By all intents and means, it is technically the maximization of the efficiency of laws and regulations, since they will only apply to where they are most pertinent and wanted.
One can quote the hell out of Crowley’s “The book of law”, including incitement to human (and specifically children) sacrifice, but strangely enough it is always that single decent line (a work of genius, in its simplicity) that is always equated with Satanism. How can this not be a problem to theistic anarchists?
Can an anarchist disagree with “Do what thou wilt, shall be the whole of the law?”
Deist. I know this will piss off all of the atheists, but I just don’t buy into the theory of evolution. So god put a bunch of bones on the planet. Big deal.
spiritual
I believe in God. I honor Christ, Buddha, Dogen, read some Hindu and it’s curious, think Shinto is very interesting and enlightening, and I find the old testament to be fascinating; plus many other people and religions have given me what I find to be grains of truth. I have inclinations that all these religious figures and the religions themselves are simply shamans and of the shamanistic natural order.
Nah, the website is a fabrication. Just look what it has to say for the peace sign (which as we know comes from semaphoric signs for ND, nuclear disarment). Somebody let their imagination run wild.
Born Christian. Family went to church until I was 10 years old, then quit. Parents split up 10 years ago. I was semi-athiest. Then Father remarried a Jehovas Witness woman around 5 years ago. He’s brainwashed by their crap now. Made me see religion for what it really is. Now I’m athiest.
Traditionalist Roman Catholic. You’ll find that a good portion of libertarians are athiest/agnostic, but with a large Catholic minority.
Agnostic
