Updated Religion Poll/More Choices

Post Reply New Topic

If you took the previous religion poll please take this one. It has more choices.

Try not to pick the Jedi one for fun unless you are actually a member of that religion

what about the flying spaghetti monster?

Christianity, ELCA Lutheran to be specific.

Just put Unitarian.

You left off the Mormons.

Whatever happen to i_wanna_blue, he was muslim I believe.

What about the church of the invisible pink unicorn? (yeah, maybe that would go with the church of Euthanasia)
but seriously, I think you should've included Secular Humanism. It's a fast growing portion of the educated (specifically net-educated) society. I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't come out #1 or #2 if it were included, given the results of the old poll.

I think I might be a pagan atheist.

Don't see that on there as well.

thank you, butterfryby now i could vote, "non-traditional/spiritual." my space, IOW my inner world, is my church.

They consider themselves Christians, and if the poller considers them Christian enough, then it isn't a mistake to leave them off.

I'm pretty much an atheist.

It's funny how Atheist and Agnostic are grouped together. This alone tells me a few things, perhaps one being that the author of this article may not have understanding of Agnosticism but feels it's a branch of Atheism ?

There's something like 34,000 different secular Christian religions, I myself can't really understand how a church that is so divided can still have such strong faith. I'm a former Catholic, I hold it as my traditional religion, this meaning that I was born into it and celebrate the traditions of it.. but do not believe in it.

I voted other religion, because what I believe is not represented through mainstream religions. If the world did realize it was all connected, and did rejoice in the fact that inside we want the same things.. there would be nothing to fight about, no wars, or hating from it but unification.

Think about what the 'religions' of the future may be.

You're missing Chaos Magick and Discordianism.

Pagan simply means "not christian".

Some groups self-identify as pagan, so there is more to it than that.

Um, sorry. I was amused by the Harry Potter/LotR/jedi choice because honestly my family puts more effort into and receives more enjoyment and enlightenment from those created worlds than from any religious teachings, and while pondering this my finger tapped my mousepad and before I knew it I'd voted. I don't want to skew your results though. Sorry.

Frankly, I don't know which choice my belief system would fit under. It is a work in progress.

And technically they're not wrong; but at the same time, they're not especially right.

*shrug* I would have rathered "witchcraft/magic practice" since that's a little more accurate, less negative, and less generic.
