Not even remotely. As a matter of course, it's something I completely avoid at all costs.

Not at all, generally only think about it when someone brings it up

Very important, as a disproportionate number of religious people tend to hold positions of power and make policy I don’t agree with.

It's not, but that's not to say that I don't believe in God, because I do.

Not at all. Unfortunately it’s very important to my SO which is really causing some issues lol

That is a fire ass answer because how is it even legal to impose that kind of shit on the "land of the free"?

Not at all. I don’t need religion to “bribe” me to be a good person lol. I choose to be kind and empathetic out of the goodness of my heart rather than selfishly do it in order to attain good deeds to go to heaven, etc.

Important in the sense that it gives me a sense of culture and an affinity for my community and heritage. Not so important in strict orthodox practice/rituals.

I’m not in the land of the free but the point still stands

Ain't shit here free so there's that. But yes point still stands

Yeah rather than do things in “His” name, I’d rather my leaders were capable of debating issues and forming opinions themselves

As an atheist, it's important to me when I'm lucky enough to be a part of a respectable and conducive discussion on religion, spirituality, and and the part it plays in the human experience, good and bad. Beyond that, it's not important to me at all.

Exactly. Most folks can't even tell you why they are religious. Just making it up as they go instead of taking accountability and responsibility. No "he" does not work in mysterious ways. You paid extra on your light bill and got a credit no God was looking out for you

Also an atheist (hey buddy), that is the only time I feel anything about the subject.

As an atheist, not really.

I was born into a religious family. I can understand a kid having an imaginary friend but not a whole group of adults sharing the same one

Not important at all. I hate saying this cause it sounds super annoying, but I prefer spirituality over religion.
