The young are often agnostic or claim atheism- it's part of the "young and dumb" syndrome that we all go through. Experience and time usually correct this. Talk to me about your beliefs when you hit 50 or so. Most of you will have a religion by then.

Me, I'm Wiccan. I keep a low profile because I live in a rural, red-neck town, but Wiccan I am, non-the-less. (I even help the Catholic kids with their catechism lessons when they were in the after-school program- I know my bible, but Christianity is not for me.) I'm a solitary, which means I don't have a coven.

When I was in college (first time around), I had both day and night classes and rather than ride the bus home, grab a sandwich and get right back on the bus to go back, I just stayed at the college. To fill the time, I read my way through the library (speed reader + 4 hours = a lot of books). Religion was in the low numbers on the shelves and I read most of what was there and came out Wiccan. "And if it hurts none, do what you will." And before you ask, yes, I cast spells occasionally - usually for healing- and yes, they often work, Goddess willing. (Spells are just prayers with props to get you in the mood to communicate with Goddess.)

I'm more what is called a "kitchen" or "Green" witch- I use herbs a lot and I'm not too fussy about my spell components (the Gardnerian-types are SO serious and ritual bound- they make me giggle sometimes). A few hundred years ago, I would have been the "Granny in the woods" giving out love potions and advice to the village lads and lasses. Goddess bless you all. - Granny:hippy:
