It is interesting that you ask this question here, as I am sure that you have heard about the famous "golden rule" of not speaking about religion and politics, and that one's faith is a private matter. That having been said, I am very glad that you asked, as you can see that Blurtit has plenty of people asking questions on both religion and politics, and an equally large group of people who provide answers.
In terms of my religion, I am a Roman Catholic and as such, I try to follow the teachings of the Christian faith, as expressed and explained by the Catholic Church. At the same time, I believe that it is very important to question and sometimes even challenge certain beliefs or practices, and thus maintain not only a spiritual, but also an intellectual interest in the Church. In many ways, I find that I am a liberal Catholic, although I know that this term can be very elusive and it certainly means different things to different people. In my case, being a 'liberal' Catholic means placing an emphasis on social justice issues, such as tolerance, diversity and compassion for the marginalized in society, as well as promoting dialogue among people of different faiths.
