    Given that census results are due out soon, it'd be interesting to see what religions or lack thereof people support on this forum.

    Of course, there are thousands of branches within some religions like Christianity, so it's probably better to group them all together...more or less the same thing when it boils down to it.

    Plus, here would be better than A&A or Christianity forum to get a more general opinion.

    This thread need not descend into sectarianism, just a vote :-P

    Anyway, I'd be ticking the atheist box. :D

    It's not called a church, atheists don't appear to have bad memories such that our beliefs need constant reinforcement every Sunday. ;)

    You're simply being semantically nit-picky, you know perfectly well what was intended. :confused:

    True - they're not the same. But technically nor are Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. I had to group the similarities together so I didn't have a poll the length of Mars. :rolleyes:

    Whatever suits me. Non absolutionist with a belief in non of it.

    I suppose slightly humanist if that is a religion, I suppose it kind of is.

    How does that work now? Do you mean you're culturally protestant, but religiously atheist?
