(b) One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism.

I'm an agnostic. See my comments about it here.

If yours is the only true and correct religion:

* Why are there so many other religions?

* Why do they all claim theirs is the only true and correct religion?

* Why can each point to some different "holy" writing to back their claim?

I think it's much more important to be moral than to be religious. The Golden Rule is a wonderful guiding principal. Would that more people follow it.

UPDATE: One of the final disappointing straws about religion came to me via a minister. I asked him the following: "Assume a man has lived his 80 years of life without any sin whatsoever, that he has been kind, compassionate, has worked hard and diligently, has been completely moral, and has done nothing but good works. He is a Buddhist. Can he go to heaven?"

The minister thought about it and said he would have to think further about it and give me an answer the following day. The next day when he returned his answer was "No, because the man did not believe in Jesus."

If there ever was a sillier proposition, I haven't heard it. It's the kind of thinking that gives religion a bad name. And people wonder why some of us choose not to believe in things for which we have not seen evidence (although we do remain open to seeing any evidence that might sometime appear).
