I am Christian.
I was raised and Confirmed a Catholic and left because it didn't ring true.
I do not claim Protestant allegiance either because it's just a label that helps divide my brothers and sisters in Christ.

Interesting. What do you think makes you a Christian? Do you attend a church? That is, are you part of a regularly meeting body of believers under the leadership of Biblically qualified pastors and elders?
My public profession of faith in Jesus Christ as my savior. The one who sacrificed himself to take on all sin, and who rose 3 days later.
Yes, I go to church.

If I had to pick, it'd be pagan, specifically of a pan-Indo-European bent. I'm not too attached to Greco/Roman, Norse, or Celtic pantheons. I rather like the Slavic, but they want me to commit too much.
On the other hand, I often find more in common with groups like Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox than Protestants, since I'm very socially conservative. Of course, the down-side of staunch religiosity like that is that birds want you to be of the same flock, which is never going to happen. Peace and tranquility aren't in my blood.

We each have our own we seek.

Problem with slavic gods,at least in Poland,is that we knew very little about them.Becouse either nobody wrote about their mythology,or what was written was destroyed during one of many wars.
Unless you belive in polish neopagans and their Lechia myth.Problem is - they take it from their own imagination,not facts.
Maybe western slavs have better mythology,i do not knew.

Most lore about the Slavic paganism comes from three sources. Latvia (which has the best surviving scraps of tradition), records from early Christians in the region who were either conquering or converting them (crusaders and Old Church Slavonic mostly), and comparative religion based on using what we know from other sources and piecing things together.
Indeed.In case of Poland it not help - Latvia knew nothing about our old gods,and monkes send here either was not interested or their work do not survivis.
Or...In 1966 our commies organized big parades for 1000 year of polish state,but becouse they hated church they send archeologs to find as many pagan shrines as possible.
They found strongholds,palace in Poznań with christian chapel,but only one small shrine in Gniezno,destroyed before Poland become christian state.
Which mean,that we probable never had some complicated mythology.
