Personally, I've always been around judeo-christian circles, but I've started to take an interest in Germanic paganism. Still pretty clueless, but I guess that's why it's called "practicing" religion.

I have no problem discussing a topic we had before, but I'm just throwing this out there in case anyone's interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/zoophilia/comments/5o0nx6/discussionzoophilia_and_religion

Personally, I'm not a fan of religion.

Being against having sex with an animal, 'loving' an animal and how animals are seen as / are treated really doesn't go well with me.
It also tells humans how to live.
Probably one of the biggest reasons people hate us. Look at gays.
And people should not be told what to do by religion.
Sure, that's the mainstream religions but those other ones don't seem too good either.
It's always mostly something about supernatural nonsensical stuff.
We zoos are humans that rely on logic, research, science, etc.

So I guess my answer is obvious that I'm an atheist and that the only way I get bothered by religion is other people talking about it.
I don't like wasting my time. There's way better fiction out there.
I've had experience with religious humans a few times.
1/10 Would not try again.

I've always been sort of a nihilist, which is basically just an atheist in overdrive mode

I've got my beliefs but theres no way I would subscribe to any of the cookie cutter religions. I dont see how anyone can.

Atheist; could never acknowledge or worship a god that put me in a human body, rather than a horse one.

Guess I'm the odd one out here so far; I'm technically Christian but I'm pretty non-traditional. Pretty much disregard anything from the Old Testament, don't care for church, no issues with same-sex marriage or etc, don't mind what anyone else's religion is and I'm not gonna try to convert anyone lol (I really enjoy learning about religions and beliefs). I do believe in a creator and Jesus Christ, but I also incorporate other beliefs into my spirituality. There are some aspects of animism in there and Buddhism as well, I really like Buddhism and the research I've done, though it seems almost more philosophical at times than religious. My family has always believed that animals have souls like humans do, I don't understand at all how someone can't believe that.

There was definitely internal conflict after being raised Christian and then realizing that I was zoo. I prayed a lot and as I continued my research into zoosexuality and realized it was an innate part of who I am, I figured God must have made me this way purposefully. I love and care for all of his creatures and have dedicated my life to them, so I don't think he has any beef with me.

I identify as an atheist, as I do not believe in a god, all knowing consciousness/creator or deity. I am an anti-religionist. I believe that the individual journey towards spirituality should be one's own, and not dictated by tradition or dogma.

I do my best to not compare out to others with regards to my own spirituality. It is my personal journey, and mine alone. I do identify as a therian spiritualist, and have my own animal totems that possess the attributes I work towards myself. I find meditation very helpful in accessing "them" (which I see as an extension of my subconscious). As a scientist, do I believe that there are spirits actually guiding me? Absolutely not. But just as gems and crystals help ground me in meditation and serenity, if it works and is healthy, go for it! That's why I say to each their own.

With that said, having a loving connection to other spirits is beautiful and essential to my growth. Be those spirits human or non-human, if they are healthy for me, I embrace that. I have many close friends of different species, and a few soul mates that have spanned both human and canine.

So I do not find any disagreement between my spirituality and being a zoophile. It's who I am. That's it.

I have a belief but I do not follow or belong to any single mainstream belief. This is because mainstream beliefs are usually opposed to zoophilia and it's mechanisms, therefore they cannot be honest worthwhile religions. It is puppetry and they are puppeteers only taking advantage of the time we have left in our fleshy beings.

In my opinion, according to a metaphysical view, the adherence to any single one of those denominations acts as a gateway to all evil. If heaven and it's moral laws had complete reign over all, it would also have to be hell. There would be no contrast to make it heaven good, therefore heaven would become the most undesirable place to be.

This is why mainstream religions are unappealing to me and possibly other zoophiles. The religions do so much, stigmatize and punish so many of our choices in order to appear "holy", they've only effectively made themselves look like the firey pit that nobody in their right mind would voluntarily jump into.

I am a zoophile. I have sex with animals. That is my life. I am not going to sacrifice my lifestyle and choices to the lost cause of a sickening heavenly utopia, since its goal is obviously to become a complete hell. I would not sacrifice myself to heaven, just as I would not sacrifice myself to hell. They are both the same thing with the same goal and mean nothing but the same suffering. There would be no rest or peace in death.

In my observation, each confessor of the good faith is just another demon hiding behind the happiest most innocent smile, ready to lunge out of its fleshy vessel to rip my face off and suckle on my blood.

Does anybody remember Lord of the Rings? Remember the way the pious, faithful characters turned into monsters and lunged at Frodo when they saw the ring?

Yes. That is exactly how I feel people act. If they know I have the ring (sex with animals), they're faces will become twisted, jagged toothed, and they will bite my fingers off until they take zoophilia away from me.

In conclusion, I cannot follow mainstream religions, not even mainstream zoophilia, when the mainstream beliefs have been hijacked by monsters.

I am not a follower of religion, but I do definitely have a sense of spirituality. I didn't always, but after lots of introspection and mindfulness, I have come to realize some things. That all things in this universe are formed from the same shared energy, that consciousness exists in varying degrees in much of existence, that there are many patterns in our existence, on multiple scales, not only in us but other animals, plants, and even the rocky earth itself(and the whole universe). That the mere existence of things such as laws of physics, the intricate way that everything in life fits together and continues to function magically, which leads me to believe that the world itself which we live in is intelligent in a way we cannot imagine, somewhere here but also not bound by time. There's too many great mysteries for me to believe otherwise.

Atheist, but raised in a Lutheran church. I read a lot of the bible, including the Levitical laws, which I suppose was technically my introduction to the concept of lying with animals. Other than that, I'm not sure the two have much to do with each other. I suppose my faith led me to a rationalization of existing misanthropy, which was a psychological primer for considering animals as possible partners. But the only common thread was that both were, or are now, core pieces of my identity. Even now I see a lot of current events in terms of their scriptural parallels. I just don't think it's factually true.

I'm atheist and strongly against religions.

Atheist, born to spiritual parents, raised in a secular household.

Religion was a rather obscure subject to me when I was young, both because any god or gods were mentioned only briefly both in and out of school. I suppose that's the benefit of living with a secular education system, and I think that's why I always had a lack of faith. As far as I remember my 6-year-old self's mind, things happened because they happened, and things were right and wrong because of what people made them out to be. I was superstitious, to be fair, but not religious.

So at 15, when I found myself liking animals in that way, it wasn't a question of My Invisible Friend's will, but whether it was morally justifiable. And as I'm sure anyone can guess, I decided it was.

I study pretty much all religions, as a hobby. I believe in a higher plane of existence than this, practice a mix of Shintoism and Celtic pagan beliefs, and identify as a Roman Catholic. Confused yet? I always am, but I believe most that religion is an ongoing journey in life that ends only when life does, if at all. I don't look for contradictions in a religious practice and my beliefs, I look for a common ground. Once found, I then examine it's beliefs and weigh their worth....

I believe in the hand that holds my gun, the hand that holds my shovel and my balls.

What I don't believe is in any religion according to which both zoophiles an their animals must be put to the sword.

I believe religion was made by man to control man. Religion in some way is the root cause for many deaths and wars throughout history. We are all animals and should be doing our best to live life to the fullest and cherish the time we have on this Earth. As archeologists have proven it is only a matter of time until some mass Extinction event happens once again and resets life in which who knows if the human race will continue on. I Believe once your dead then you crease to exist so I live everyday and cherish every moment with my herd as it could be my last.

I'm an Agnostic Atheist. I used to be Wiccan and LaVeyan Satanist when I was a teenager, but I grew out of it because spells, tarot and any "magic/woo" is bullshit to me and there are "principles and rules" within those particular practices that I can't agree with. It's the same exact reason why I can't get on board with any other religion either. I'm just not a fan of following rules or hivemind mentality in general, nevermind the fact that Satanism of the LaVeyan variety tends to be just as oppressive as Christianity from a philosophical standpoint.
