Religious people: what is your level of observance?

Personally, my ideas fall somewhere between Jung's archetypal theory that gods, devils, demons, angels, djinn etc. are ancient archetypal images embedded deep within unconsciousness, brought to the surface through symbolism and such . . . and the many theories of One's Consciousness existing separate of the objective/physical universe and upon reflecting on itself this Consciousness becomes Dualistic and begins its descent into a materialized, physical Consciousness.

The religious ideas of a 'Fall from Grace' seem to be echoed from this theory, as well as ideas of Oneness and a Higher-Self/Father/Son/Holy Spirit.

Religions to me, seem to be the attempts to explain these actions which have become veiled to the mind during the 'Fall' into physical form.

In any case, these theories seem to be complex yet simple in structure and to me make much more sense than all the confusing, contradicting religious myths and ideas.
