Agnostic Theist. Pretty much exactly what Brandon said, haha.
I believe that there could be something supernatural or of a higher power out in the unvierse.. But I don't believe there is any way to prove if there is or isn't.
I believe in facts, evolution, science, etc.. But I'm not opposed to thinking there could be some form of higher power. We just don't have the tools to tell whether or not there is, yet.
I was raised Catholic in a private catholic school/church and what not.. But I don't think I ever once believed anything they said in church or religion class.. I just did what I had to do to get by. They kind of contradicted themselves.. Teaching about evolution in science, but then the whole "Adam and Eve" story in religion class.. you know?
My dad (who doesn't identify with any specific religion) used this analogy with me earlier (pertaining to the bible), that I agreed with: In a million years, say the world is wiped out, floods, natural disasters, meteors, whatever.. Researchers dig and find a Harry Potter book, or Stephen King, or something like that.. Would they all worship it? Would they believe wizards existed, etc.. The bible is a great and interesting book, but it was written by so many people, translated, changed over the years, etc.. It's been around for how long? Does anyone honestly believe the stories in that book haven't been manipulated?
I don't know, those are just my thoughts. Haha. I have a lot of theories. I've spent a lot of time researching it and looking into it.. I'm just kind of rambling now..
But yeah. Bottom line = raised catholic, but I consider myself an Agnostic Theist. (:
