What religion are you? (if any)

I'm curious as to how religions are displaced over our demographic...

Myself, I have no religion, I'm agnostic.

It saddens me to say this, but "Jehovah's Witness" is Christian -based. Same Bible, different beliefs. I'm happy though that you separated Catholicism and Christianity.

I'm Christian, most of my beliefs are Baptist Christian. Probably because my church is Southern Baptist.

Actually, Witnesses are different from Christian based religions for many reasons, but I can't be bothered to list them...
I could get my cousin (who is a Witness) to do that, but that's a can of worms I'd rather not let into this Forum...

JWs have a different Bible and drastically different doctrines greater than any differences between even Catholics and protestants. I guess seperating Catholics and Protestants is a good idea for this poll since there's no way to seperate Catholics with a more conservative Biblical doctrine from the ones that run around worshiping water marks on walls and burnt spots on grilled cheese sandwitches as apparitions of the Virgin Mary. :roll:

As far as I know, JWs have the same Bible, they just don't make stuff up that isn't in it.

Private Sean, Why, you little maggot! You make me want to vomit! You goddam communist heathen, you had best sound off that you love the Virgin Mary... or I'm gonna stomp your guts out! Now you do love the Virgin Mary on a grilled cheese, don't you?!

I have nothing against the Virgin Mary. God saw her as righteous and worthy to bear the Messiah, so why should I hold anything against her? I believe that she is in heaven near the foot of God's throne, not in a water mark from sprinkler runoff on concrete under a freeway overpass in Chicago or somebody's sandwitch.

hey nihilism is missing from the list.

i chose hindu because i hate choosing "the other" and i'm drifting towards hinduism anyways. it's very nihilistic.

On another forum I once went to, a member said "I'm not any religion, not even athiest or agnostic". So what does that make him? :roll:

I was like that once... I refused to be identified by any term that was even remotely religious...
But I'm fine with agnostic now... Beh I don't care.

Though I did call myself a Religious Vacuum
