    What religious catagory do you fall into

    I know this topic was covered once in 08, but it didn't include a poll so hard to get a feel for it.

    What are your religious beliefs (these are general catagories, for example, Christianity covers all demoninations)


    EDIT: No pun intended by placing Mormons on the bottom or placing the FSM above Buddism or Hinduism.

    Either way I think mormonism is considered a christian religion.

    ...and you might be missing a few.

    Secular/Nonreligious/Agnostic/Atheist: 1.1 billion
    Hinduism: 900 million
    Chinese traditional religion: 394 million
    Buddhism: 376 million
    primal-indigenous: 300 million
    African Traditional & Diasporic: 100 million
    Sikhism: 23 million
    Juche: 19 million
    Spiritism: 15 million
    Judaism: 14 million
    Baha'i: 7 million
    Jainism: 4.2 million

      You don't have a category for "don't give a shit". There's better things to do than think about the unknowable. Atheist? maybe, or possibly agnostic? that could be also, but those would require putting thought into it, and coming up with absolutely nothing. I'd get a better return asking one of my cats; even the one with the shitty attitude :^D

                Missing the agnostics..
                Atheism isn't a religion
                Flying Spaghetti Monster is a parody
                and you totally forgot the Deists

                      Grew up Free Will Baptist until I really started to think about it for myself.

                      Now I am of the opinion that gods probably don't exist, but if he/she/it/they does/do then the deity's true nature is, as lxskllr stated, unknowable.

                      I would say I am happily agnostic.

                          To choose order over disorder, or disorder over order, is to accept a trip composed of both the creative and the destructive. But to choose the creative over the destructive is an all-creative trip composed of both order and disorder. To accomplish this, one need only accept creative disorder along with, and equal to, creative order, and also willing to reject destructive order as an undesirable equal to destructive disorder. - Greyface and Negativism

                            I doubt snuson users are any of those random religions, but that is what the "other" is for.

                            Also, scientology is a cult, not a religion.

                              I believe there is a ceator or god but I see no evidence that he ever comes and tampers with anything so he obviousely doesnt want us worrying about him.

                              Life is about building character imo, but why so many spend so much time worrying about the unknowable I do not know.
