I use to be a Buddhist and Atheist a couple of times around.
But now I'm a Christian for almost a decade.

From what I know of Christianity, if you truly believe that Jesus is the son of God and is your savior, you have a duty to your fellow man to save as many of them as you possibly can, and that means making people believe who don't already.
Scripture doesn't teach this.

It's confusing in that context, but yes it does. Or at least in my denomination. Jesus said, and I quote Matthew 28:19, "Go, and make disciples out of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit." So, in a sense, yes. You should try to save others. But not as a duty to man, rather as a duty to God.

I am pretty much atheist, a little  more agnostic really, but I do not like organized religion.  Basically, I do not think it can be summed down to one right god, one right religion, but everyone is free to think what they want

well ever since i was a newborn (no seriously) up until my teens i went to the unitarian universalists society.  its not the christian unitarians or something but the spiritual one. it was a really pleasant atmosphere and all, not having to dress up fancy.  but now i dont go there. i dont really have a religion at the moment and i dont plan on converting to a new one any time soon. but hey! its a free country so everyone can think and believe what they want right? =D

I do not belong to any organized religion. I believe we all have something inside us that tells us right from wrong. This is my version of God. Whether or not we choose to obey this thing is totally up to us. I believe people were meant to experience happiness. Most people who knowingly ignore or go against these feelings are not truely happy. I am not saying that people should'nt have religious beliefs but if it feels wrong, it probably is wrong for you.

I am half Jewish and half Muslim, although I was brought up in the Muslim faith. As of right now, I'm very confused as to what I do or do not believe in, but I do believe that there is a God.

Im more of a spiritual person. I have a very strong faith without it who knows where I would be. I do believe some people tend to get too caught up in the "Religion" aspect of it rather than actually believing in what they do. Note I said SOME lol.

I am not exactly religious but spiritual in a way.  While I am not so sure about one god creating our entire existance I am confident that spiritual planes exist.  And peoples souls come from beyond the grave when they feel they have to finish something or are just here because they feel like it.
