    I'm going to probably say that it's Christianity/Catholic. That's just a guess but it's probably correct.

    I am a Witch (not specifically Wiccan, although Wicca makes up a part of my Path).

    Am I wrong to understand that Catholocism *is* a form of Christianity?

    Staunch atheist. Enough said.
    You're not wrong; Catholicism is just another form of Christianity.

    I suppose I'm agnostic though I'm not sure if that counts. Nonetheless, I still voted for 'other'.

    (Umm, is that okay? Sorry if it isn't...)

    I'm actually having a bit of an identity crisis regarding this, so I clicked other. I'm not really sure what I believe, but I'm considering converting to Judaism.

    Catholicism is a denomination of Christianity, but it doesn't really consider itself a denomination. It thinks of itself as the one true church, but it is always considered Christian.

    Protestants are called that precisely because they "protested" against Catholicism at some point. Catholic, historically, has a lot of merit to a claim to be among the very first (if not first) organised Christian churches. So, they are very much Christian, historically among the oldest possible.

    I don't understand the "Christian" as a religion, to me it's like asking what country you live in and answering "Europe"...

    I'm a Christian, and the results of this survey here do not surprise me in the least.

    I'm an atheist and love it.

    Actually the Islamic tyranny force a lot of young Iranians to leave Islam. I'm just one of them. But I don't hate Muslims. Actually i believe that a Muslim can be liberal and an Atheist can be dogmatic.

    It is. However I have met other Christians who consider Mormonism so aberrant that they don't count it.

    I have my own beliefs really, but for the sake of simplicity, when people ask me questions like this i just say agnostic.

    Like biAnnika, I consider myself a witch, but my religion is... complicated. The closest thing is druidry.
