Is Anyone Here Non Christian?

Interesting thread.

An intelligent human once said,
"If you cannot tell the difference between right and wrong, it is not religion you need. It is empathy and compassion that you lack."

I was raised in a very militant christian way.
Nit beleiving in god, i refused to get baptized as a 10 or 12 year old.
My patron goddesses since I learned of them in 3rd grade or so were Athena, goddess of war and of wisdom, and Artemis, goddess of the hunt, both virgin goddesses.
I have since studied buddhism and hinduism and think there is much truth to be found there. Wicca makes sense and I too appreciate the aesthetic, but my beliefs and spirituality are wider than that. I do read tarot and am slowly studying astrology and dream interpretation.

From most religions I take any wisdom I can reap.

There is so much from my christian experiences that make churches places I avoid and feel uncomfortable in. Always have. Dropping christianity is not simple if it was engrained into you. So much i do not know if my mind will ever heal from. Has a lot to do with my parents being who they are as well.
If I ever travel though I will enter the ancient ones to observe the aechitecture and art.

I think buddhism is the straightest path but for some of us it doesn't encompass other aspects of spirituality that we experience. I think this for me is why hinduism seems to be pretty on point.
I need to delve into ayurvedic studies as well, but too disorganized rn.

My church is the mountains, the sea, the forest, the rivers and the desert.
