I act the way I act because of my morals, not a system of designated behaviors like religion dictates. How about you?
I act the way I do because I want to be me. I don't want to be someone else just to make other people happy.
Exactly, some religions depend on what followers say are true about symbolic stories.
I do believe in the bible and God, but I believe that there are to many people trying to make their own rules about the bible and not following the word anymore. 
do you participate in any religious practices like sermons, sacrifices, initiations or meditation?
No, I don't go to service much any more even. I have had a hard time finding a church that I feel meets my needs and the needs of my family. I still pray and read my bible on a daily basis though.
That's good though. I practice meditation myself, I am not religious but meditation helps with stress depression and anxiety
