    "Atheism" isn't really a religion, but I'm not surprised that most people have selected that option.

    Strictly speaking, you can be an atheist and belong to a religion. There are Buddhists who don't believe in any deities. So they're atheists even if they don't identify as such and even though they do have supernatural beliefs.

    I loosely relate to wiccan, though I don't really see it as religion, more just a part of the world.
    Don't agree, strongly believe or practice with everything but I'm definitely not an atheist.

    No religion, non-believer. I suppose atheist is the appropriate label but I don't really identify actively as such.

    Tricky question.

    I won't go as far as to say I'm an Athiest because I can't claim to be 100% certain there is no god. That said, my assumption is that there isn't and I will maintain that assumption until someone can provide some evidence that is more convincing than something written in a book.

    Why are Christianity and Catholicism listed as separate religions? Catholicism is a denomination of Christianity, not a different religion.

    I agree. Catholics are as much a part of Christianity as Protestants.

    It's probably Atheism.

    My religious views are pretty odd. Open-minded is the closest label I can think of.

    In the category of other, I'd have to say that love is my religion.

    I'm not atheist in the sense that I don't believe in god. But I believe that god isn't a man or spirit but is a form of energy. Like a life force flowing through everyone and everything.

    Pah! Gay atheist? That's so predictable! Give me a fundamental type who is also loud and proud, all at once. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    That's some serious cognitive dissonance going on, or multiple personalities.

    Wow I'm pretty damn surprise at the results. Though I don't identify with a religion. Isn't Buddhism more of a philosophy though? It's a choice to follow it as a religion. I think that's what I like about most, that's it's more of your decision. I can stick to Buddhism in some cases, though I'm more of my own person.

    Poll makes little sense when Catholicism is considered separate from Christianity.

    I don't have a religion, so just consider me to be an atheist or agnostic. I'm a chaote. The only gods I "worship" are the gods I made myself.
