    Peace Simple,

    And does, or actually, should your belief belong to a certain religion?

    Yes, God Alone.

    And of course, you do realize that this is your personal understanding that is based on the English definition of the word "religion" that you have provided earlier, which by the way I would really like if you would highlight the exact part you chose of the many definitions listed in your quote just so to spare others (me included) from any possible misunderstanding,, bearing in mind that that definition may have nothing to do with the meaning of the Arabic word "deen" according or as it appeared in the Quran, and also may have nothing to do with the commonly understood meaning of the word "deen" among Arabic speaking people. Conclusion A fresh research of the Quranic definition of "deen" is required. May Allah enlighten us.

    All the best,
    Taj

      I voted "Other" simply because I do not see and difference between the basic beliefs of any of those religions mentioned. I am a Christian (not traditional) and I believe almost exactly the same as most "God-alone", "Quran-alone" Muslims. So what is the difference between us?

      I think I have found out the difference between God alone muslims and God alone christians..God alone muslims do not eat the flesh of the swine. however god alone christians do?

      peace

        My religion- now

        having a strong belief in a god/ Life Force.

        So as to do things religiously,regularly- with Justice.

        Deen- according to the quran and dictionary - is i believe Justice/ all fareness , which becomes a religion every step of the way, and the belief/faith in the God is the rose bud that gives us the fragerance of justice.

        peace

          Does eating the flash of swine or of a cow matter to someone who has never seen the quran? but doing good and avoiding evil does-irrespective of whether you have or have not recieved the quran, whether you are living in the jungles of Africa the Amazon. I don't believe pigs are even mentioned in the great reading.

          But saying that not even i eat it - as was brought up that way, its the programing.

              I think that is the only difference between Christians and almost all others. eat

              "And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you".
              "Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcass shall ye not touch, they are unclean to you."

              "And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you. Ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass."

              I am no longer a Sunna-rejecter. See 4:59-65, 62:2-4, 3:31, 4:156, 7:157 Messenger teaches and is to be followed and obeyed. Examples of revelation received which is not in the Qur'an: 3:123-126, 33:37, 2:187, 66:3, 62:9.

                hey! so thats the verse prohibiting the flesh of the swine in the bible...And all this time I thought the bible permits humans to eat the flesh of the swine! wow

                                      Christianity, because if you take away the trinity then basically you have the Koran and Gospel. Judaism and islam is complicated and have many sources. Christianity is not based on other sources but has a theology that has been devolped.

                                      But as far as people wise, I am not sure. But Muslims strike me as more religious in general than the other religious communities but I could be wrong.

                                          This question is unanswerablw. Whose understanding, whose christianity, whose judaism, shose budhism. There many varieties in any religion. You pick the one you wish and you will be right. Which christianity are yougoing to take? The one of very few conscious people or the massive one with people who speak about Christ and run away from anything ressembling Jesus? And so on.
