Seems like we have a wide variation of dis/beliefs on this forum. To get an idea where everyone is coming from, maybe you'd like to contribute your ideas.
1/How much does your level of disinterest in religion in general impact on your joining one.?
2/How much does being obligated to obey an additional set of rules,change attitude and expected to perform in a specified manner additional to the set society imposes, turn you off to religion.?
3/After quiting the church you were attending, and now you have become a member of another church/mosque, are you now a devout follower/parishioner attending regularly and adher to the precepts/obligations of the church/mosque you found to replace it? If you don't attend regularly is this because you disagree with it's precepts, or attribute that to some failing in yourself?
4/What is your level of resolve to find an ideal religion? (determined,mildly interested,moderately interested, could care(really) less?)
5/How much of a threat to your well being and happiness does the existance/non existance of God and His obligations impose.?
6/What motivates you and what do you hope to gain by convincing someone there is/is no God.?
7/If a parent and you believe precepts of a religion/God are an integral part of every person's/your life, do you or don't you ensure your children are brought up in that belief?
additionally and optionally............
8/ How does the kind of people who attend your church affect your attitude and relation with God?
9/Do you think the church's clergy should be sinless and/or never sinned in order for them
to serve the church?
10/Do you think the lay people who are sinless and/or never sinned should be the only ones to attend church.?
11/Should the church be a guide to morality for society?
12/ what are the indicators of a true church of God.?

1/ N/A I'm a member
2/ Generally I like it. Not at all, but I'm not 100% in all these areas..
3/ N/A
4/N/A
5/ I believe in God, but I fall short in the obligations department and that is where the risk lays.
6/ Motivation is by obligation, and hope that some people are persuaded.
7/ Trying but not successful so far. The deceptive riches of the West distract them and give them a false reliance that they can handle anything themselves.
8/ no impact
9/ no
10/no, that would be the wrong purpose
11/yes
