It's important to have the right religion. If you don't go by all bible priciples then what is the point of saying that you are of any religion.

It seems practising some religions is like a club membership with rules rather than focusing on being a good person + spreading god's love through our actions. There are some persons who hypocritcally following the rules, say attending service but then forgetting the other important stuff that really counts more. Be true to ourselves, follow the path that is right for you...this may not be the same path as for others

It should. You should be living an example of what your belief system is. That includes having good work ethic and giving your best at work and being faithful and honest to your fellow man. It is treating others as you would have them treat you. Including those who have less savory jobs, behaviors, etc. If you are leading by example then you will follow the ways of Christ and talk to all and sit with all and shun no one.

It's important always.  Everyone should also remember that's it's as much freedom OF as it is freedom FROM religion.\n\nhttp://atheism.about.com/od/churchstatemyths/a/freedomfrom.htm

Not RELIGION... but the spiritual development of your soul is the most important thing in your life... It should be important that you create as great a soul as any artist does in creating a work of art... and you make your own code of conduct based upon the highest principles that you decide to implement as a code... and you may want to upgrade your code to higher levels of actions of living and interacting with other persons...  Living a good life for yourself and how you treat others... is most important in your daily living... Religions are only organizations that guide people... but most times they get too confused in that they try to take control of how people live their code... and they want to set the codes of what people should believe... and then some religions are mostly about money... which is really wrong... So, what some people do is they join a "religion" to get the basics... then they leave and formulate their own spiritual program.... Hope this helps...

I don't feel that you have to.  But i think some people need some type of structure and assurance that they aren't alone in their journey.  I think it is definitely up to you as a person as to whether or not you need to belong to a church.  But going to church does not make you a christian.  That happens by asking Jesus Christ to be your saviour.  Just my opinion!

Doing what you know is right is more important than either of those things.  "I was just following orders" doesn't cut it anymore.\n\n"That's what is says in the bible" REALLY doesn't cut it.

it is important.  But what about it?

If you are asking for historys sake, Ronin is right about the mostly Protestant, and Anglican thing. (In England.) If you are asking for now a days... don't worry so much about what church is right, and focus on getting your heart right. Your local pastor isn't going to be your judge, God is. Line up with His rules. Get a relationship with Him. Notice I said relationship, not religion?

No, what is important is increasing your knowledge, learning new things from books, life, and relationships with all people you meet.  It is important to be nice to people and treat them the way that you would want to be treated.  Good luck to you!

No doubt love is important,but if you have some responsibilities to perform and love is coming in the way and you are disturbed as you are not true to any one of then.my advise is take your responsibilities like a man and if you have to sacrifice your love for responsibilities,sacrifice that...Just look at martyrs,you will get the answer.

Think about your motivation. Are you scared of something?\n\nGoing to church does NOT make you a better human, not even a better believer. You rather take positive actions in your life.

Hmmmmm.....not sure (isn't there some sort of monetary thing in your belief system?)\n\nJust one thing I would like to point out, because it is actually important. You need to make sure that your religion has a legitimate history or connection to history. Why? Well, the Supreme Court of the US said that to atleast be considered a religion, for the sake of defining religion, that a religion has a connection to history or a history to its beliefs. Think of Wicca. It wasn't called Wicca before (and in fact some Wiccans tell me that Wicca is a new religion, but that it came out of the Old Religion or the Craft). Just thought I'd mention it so that way your religion is legitimate in the eyes of the courts.\n\nAs for supporting you monetarily...well I don't know your beliefs well enough to know what it says about having to do that. You might want to look at your beliefs and find out what it says about that very topic. Perhaps in your rituals you could add a place where people can offer money as a sacrifice. Just a thought.

No. You need to humble yourself, don't think more than you are. Work at it, in no time you will be yourself. Leave everything in God's hand He knows what to do

While it is important to have fellowship with other Christans, it is a command even, remember that you don't have to be in church to worship. God should be part of your daily walk in life, not just Sunday. Also I'm kind of reminded of something else... even Paul the Apostle supported himself as a tentmaker...
