I have no religion, although my religious affiliation would be atheist, which is nothing but the lack of belief in gods. Philosophically, I would consider myself a secular humanist. Here's a list of some of the beliefs and values of secular humanists:

1. No recognition of god, the afterlife or other supernatural claims. Most if not all secular humanists are atheist or agnostic.
2. Good morals are formed by reason and the scientific method rather than tradition or dogma. Someone does not need the belief in the supernatural to be moral and many morals that are given in many religions are more regressive rather than progressive.
3. Living this life to fullest rather than concerning onesself with pursuit of an afterlife.
4. Place emphasis on science, freethought and reason.
5. advocate seperation of church and state.
6. Want a secular(meaning one that is not biased by religion or antireligion) government.
7.Want parents to give their children the freedom to think for themselves rather than indoctrinating them into the parents creed or religion.
8. Abolish discrimination based on race, religion, ethnic origin, gender, disability or sexual orientation.
9. Pro affirmative action and anti racial profiling.
10. Want children to have a good education so that they may have the ability to better themselves.
11. Advocate teaching science rather than myth in schools(ie teaching the science of evolution rather than the myth of intelligent design)
12. Advocate the equal rights of all humans(ie women and gays).
13. want children to have loving parents-ones that will not abuse their children Also let someone be a parent irregardless of sexual orientation.
14. Places the human at the center and of the most importance rather than gods and supernatural beliefs.

I agree with all you said, however, I believe in one God. My beliefs are Divine Love Christianity and I believe that Divine Love is what saves from sin. Everything else is extra. Doing what is righteous and for the good of humanity is a good way to live without all the religous stuff. I don't care what others believe nor do I care what they think of my beliefs.
I live in the present and never worry about the yesterdays or the future. Pretty simple.

I have no religion...I follow the lessons and examples of Christ..I believe He existed, and was from His Father (God) I believe in the doctrine of Christ not the doctrines of man and his religions..I am comfortable worshipping with any one in religions though, because I believe His church is spiritual and there are members everywhere..I also believe that we were all created with a spiritual place within us for Him to reside if we are willing

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or serious, although I'll assume you're serious. While the belief in god gives happiness, morality and fulfillment to many people, nonreligious philosophies(ie secular humanism) does the same for others. It tends to be more of a value judgement that someone would be immoral or unhappy if they do not hold a belief in god.
