I would call it "Unity". There is a church near where I used to live called "Unity". They embrace lots of different beliefs from all religions. It's Christian in name. They do mention Jesus, and have a worship service but you don't have to believe in Jesus to go there. Their church library has books on lots of different religions and philosophies. If you are looking for a community or a house of worship, I'd suggest you check them out. They are not pushy and believe that everybody believes what they do for a reason. I believe they are part of a nationwide denomination.

Do you mean Unitarian? They're a nice bunch.

No, Unity. It's completely different. I thought that at first, but it's not Unitarian.

Santeria is a form of Voodoun. They use the images of Catholic saints to represent the Voodoun gods.

I believe in a mix of Wicca, Christianity, and Buddhism. I believe science is part of it, but I also believe SOMETHING is controlling the universe, though I highly doubt it's an actual PERSON of some sort. I think it's a form of energy we haven't discovered yet. I don't think religion should say science is invalid, but all also believe at the point of evolution we are, we can't know EVERYTHING, and science is only BEGINNING to advance, so it can't explain EVERY single thing. I believe in spirits, and I also believe in the supernatural, though I have doubts on what it REALLY is. I believe humans have psychic abilities and were evolutionarily meant to, and that other animals have the same abilities too. I also believe LGBT people were MEANT to be who they are, that there is obviously an evolutionary reason. Yeah, maybe trans people might be some kind of mutation, but mutations are what helps evolution of a species. They're people too and need respect and should be allowed to be the gender they feel. Whatever causes the universe to do what it does isn't stupid, it isn't dumb. The universe knows what it's doing, even though it's not a living being.

I am also believer in God, spirituality I worship the Feminine Goddess.

Even I believe in psychic abilites and have used tarot cards to find many answers.

Humans have psychic abilities, over a period of time we have forgotten our natural abilities but animals
still have hold over these abilities they can sense spirits and know beforehand about natural calamities

I believe in miracles too and experienced many of them in my life............
There are many child prodigies and science is unable to explain it
Akiane kramarik started painting when she was just about 2 years old
and then she moved onto paint realistic paintings.
how do you explain a small child without background in painting to draw such remarkable things.

so many questions remain unanswered in theories of science even issues about reincarnated people
and the selection of Dalai Lama based on his remembering his past life objects
i feel from my personal experiences God exsist

I would call it interesting, even though I may not necessarily espouse those beliefs.

Also, pay no attention to the arrogant naysayers. When someone wants to point out a flaw in your beliefs out of a sincere desire to help you become more enlightened, they won't resort to insults and dismissive knee-jerk responses and one liners.

Yeah people like to joke, but at least none of us are wishing death on you or claiming our opposites are immoral by their very nature. I don't see you or any theists complaining about that, now. AG actually did give a serious response of an intellectual nature. He clearly put some emoticons after to show that he was being facetious
