Pantheism is attractive to the nature lover in me but I'm a tech head too si it might not fit. I'd probably be out of place where ever I ended up.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Not sure. Something that emphases meditation and moral living. Buddhism maybe.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Jedi, but on the condition that I get the full range of Force powers that I can develop and eventually master.
Failing that, Sith, with the above still applying.

I always thought some of the tenets of Sikhism were pretty neat. If I had to choose, I could see myself getting down with that.

My own feeling is for polytheism, the sort the Greeks had. It'd be a lot more fun with all those Gods who come down to earth and assume human form. I also feel deeply that all those lesser gods and quasi-gods are more fun than the Christian/Judaic/Islamic gods.

Judaism is for masochists.
I would be some form of wiccan. I almost converted in my early teens. I know some post-wicca atheists. They're cool.

I don't know what "spiritual" means, as no one has ever defined it in such a way that makes any sense to me. It seems to be randomly attributing additional qualities to things without justification.
But going with the flow, I'd do that pantheism thing. Unless thinking we are in a simulation counts? But there's nothing mysterious about that. We can have a "creator" that isn't anything magical. This would fall under deism I imagine...
I used to think Buddhism was OK, but on further inspection it has its own collection of nasties which I would want nothing to do with.

Slavic neo-paganism or deism, maybe pantheism
But I'll stick to notreallyism

I actually spent many years as a I don't care deist just because I couldn't be arced to come to grips with my own lack of understanding. Classic gaps syndrome. Try as I might, I couldn't believe in any of the scripted gods, but deism didn't seem so bad, since it's not judgmental and doesn't require worship.
