Faith without religion.

In this religiously polarized world. Amidst an ongoing clash of cultures and religion. I, an individual, who only thinks of humanity, and individual free will, was born in a Liberal Hindu family. To start with, of my two parents, my father is more of a religious person, while my mother is a neutral being. Born and brought up in such an environment,  with constant exposure and knowledge of religion and all. I had never bothered to make religion as a focal point of any discussion, I ever came across. More so, I deliberately avoided them. Not until, I was forced to. Not until a short course I undertook demanded me to, think. As I stated earlier, I respect humanity, I respect free will and for me the most coveted of possession anyone can ever have is respect, a lot of it. And yes, knowledge. Which doesn't come much into consideration in this writing of mine.



Well, it might sound as a cult. I might ignite hatred in many (towards me), in saying these words. For me, how so ever hard I tried, with all of my heart and brain being put into it, I could never be convinced, by anything on religion.  Be it my dad giving me some insight or be it the finest of professors or most treasured of books.



I question everything. Cause I was born this way or maybe I turned this way in the making. What so ever be it, my unending questions have yielded me few answers and more of the former.  As for my own conscious self, it denies to accept religion. However, it has that unending faith. The faith that speaks its mind, says that no theories will ever be able to prove it. No theories from any religion or science. All I believe in is that, there is something beyond our reach, something supernatural, much often termed as GOD. And yet there are people like me, who have faith, who believe in a supernatural existence but ever and always deny to have any religion.

I am a person who believes in the Supernatural, but has no religion. I am neither a theist nor an atheist nor an agnostic.
