What am I? I know what I believe, but I'm not sure what it's called.
Here's what I believe 1. I believe in one God and an afterlife. 2. I believe that God created the universe, and everything in it( that could've been through the Big Bang.) 3. As far as humans go, I believe that we were Gods most important creation. I believe in evolution for other animals, but NOT for humans. I do not believe that humans came from any other animal. 4. As far as prophecy and revelation go, I'm not sure what to believe. I believe Jesus was a very special human being. I believe he was Gods example to the world of how everyone should live. 5. I do NOT believe Jesus was God. 6. I strongly support traditional marriage, and am staunchly against abortion, homosexuality, fornication, and adultery. I view these acts as immoral.( I don't want an argument about this) 7. I believe that all of the worlds major religions have bits of the answer.( the major religions share many traits, and each one is right about some things, and wrong about others) 8. I believe that all people who believe in God, and who live a good, clean, moral life will go to heaven. What am I? I've sometimes thought of myself as a Conservative Unitarian( but do those even exist) |

| Your religion is called "a frightening embrace of irrational, random myths and ignorant biases based on nothing more than fear and low information about actual science". |

What are your thoughts on the virgin Mary? You sound close to Catholic.
Do you read the Bible? Can you quote Scripture? Do you have any religious training at all? If not, what you describe isn't anything but you acting on a bunch of intuition and impulses and isn't a religion at all. |

| A deist maybe? You don't really have a religion. To have a religion you have to share or want to share in the beliefs, practices, and culture of a defined group. You have moral codes and beliefs but not a religion per se. Now if you are looking for a religion that fits your beliefs - maybe Unitarians? |

| Jesus said that unless you believe that He is God, you would die in your sins (John 8:24, but read all of John 8). I don't know what to call "your" religion, but you're lost. Read the Gospels and repent and believe in Christ as your Savior. |

| Could be Muslim too. Pretty standard beliefs of the faith. |

Can't be Catholic. Doesn't believe in Jesus as God. OP, you may have your own sets of belief that don't conform to any religion. Still Belief-O-Matic is good. Try it. |

' This sounds plausible. To Muslims, Jesus was a prophet, a good guy. Everything lines up with Islam. Have you looked into Islam, OP? |

I'd say this too, if you're looking for an actual existing religious paradigm (and not a mash up of your own thoughts). |

The one thing is that Islam is not so strictly against abortions in the first trimester. That's more nuanced. |
