I guess for now, if anyone ever asks what my beliefs are, I'll say that I'm an open-minded pagan

I don't think I will be joining any "groups" of similar beliefs though. Definitely meetings of close friends of similar beliefs to discuss theories and learn new things from each other, but not to make any legitimate "belief systems" or practices together. Although in the future, I feel like (and hope) I may find a wise, older green witch (or something along those lines) to teach me the old ways; stuff you can't learn from books or the internet!

You are already being Guided--Tealight--in time you will realize that you have been Guided all along.

I like what you have stated here and agree with the majority of it.

You can also call your belief system a religion if you want to. Many people refer to New Age as a religion, simply because it's about spiritual beliefs.

Also, in Buddhist religion, there is no god/goddess. Many religions also worship more than one god, like Hinduism for example.

Religion is about having spiritual beliefs, it's a good thing imo.

The OP didn't know he/she wasn't supposed to use the word religion, he/she was innocent. The OP just thought it meant spiritual beliefs, and didn't have anything against it, but sadly, will probably soon learn from others what to be against. :-(
