Just a quick question on religion

I may get belittled for asking this but here it goes could someone give me the terminology for all the religous stances.
Christian non Christian
beleivers and non beleivers
Im sure you all get the idea I do have my own veiws on religion but thats as far as it goes.

Before someone says it just becuase I dont no the name for the religious stance does not mean I dont understand my own religious beleifs

I'm a spiritualist,you can add that to your list

You've got Muslims,Sihks (I'm sorry if I've spelt that wrong) Jewish,Ahmish,Shintaoist,Buhdist.

Is that what you ment? If so,I hope it's helped,if not,mI'll just go and stand over there>>>>

Clap clap well done you fool whats wrong in asking for knowledge that people already have. Some people at this site are willing to share the knowledge that they already have, the fact that I am asking for people to share knowledge is in a way research.

The labels are descriptive terms.
Atheist=no God exists
Agnostic=no proof of God
Polytheist=many Gods
Monotheist=one God
Pantheist=God is in all
different religious beliefs fall under one of the categories above.

Here along the Royal Carpet we define religion to be any world view. By this definition, even science is a religion, and thus religion does not mean one must believe in a supernatural being. Since every person has a unique qorld view, we cannot list them all, but here is a list of the common world views that people appear to share:

African-based religions include traditional, tribal, and more modern forms of worship. Some religions include Santeria or Ocha (also known as Voodoo, Ifa, Orisha), Palo Mayombe y Palo Monte, Quimbisa, Voudou, Candomble, Umbanda y Quimbanda, and Shangoism. Click to learn about some of these.

Agnosticism is a belief that neither denies or accepts the existence of one or many gods.

Atheism is a world view which accepts nature without resorting to supernatural explanations, magic, superstition, or beliefs. Information is accepted or rejected based on reason and verifiable observation.

Would anyone else find these "quick" definitions sufficient?

Atheism: there is no God.
Agnosticism: perhaps God - entirely unknowable.
Deism: there is God - only knowable through experience, no revelation.
Theism: there is God - knowable through experience and revelation.
