Poll: What is your religion?
- Thread starter Craterloads
- Start date
History would suggest otherwise. Your particular brand of Christianity may decide that Catholics (and probably a few other Christian denominations) are not Christians but really they are. In fact, your church is derived from Catholicism unless it is one of the very few that have been around since before Nicea.
Pascal's wager only really works if the choice were No God, A specific God. However as there are lots of Gods and some of them quite jealous you could still get it horribly wrong.
As to the poll, agnostic. I believe in no gods but could not say with any certainty that some form of diety does not exist. If it does, I do not however believe it will be the Abrahamic god in any of his forms.

Why is Paganism always demoted to other? That really grinds my gears.
I wonder what would happen if Islam was demoted to other.
Yes I'm a Pagan.

Because there are so many variations?
They all come under the umbrella of Paganism. You don't have to list them all. That's preferable to other. After all it's one of the fastest growing religions.

Protestant?
I'm atheist in the sense that I find the concept of a God as described in the Abrahamic religions so utterly ridiculous and unlikely that I can dismiss it as trivially as other mythical beings - I certainly don't carry around a mirror and a chicken everywhere on the off chance I may encounter a basilisk at any rate.
Where is the option for Roman Catholic, we dont want to be linked with the other Christians

You're a christian once you are christened. An unchristened catholic is not christian. An unchristened person should not recieve blood\body of christ, that is for christians. They would only recieve a blessing during the time everyone else gets communion
I was christened...But I'm agnostic. I grew up going to church with my very religious mother. but then realised later in life that i felt the whole thing was a waste of my time. I went to sunday school every sunday from a young age till i was 16, Oh the fun!

Pastafarians are going to feel discriminated against
Is that some type of spaghetti dish with dreadlocks?
"Atheist" is not a religion and neither is "agnostic" or "Jedi."
Because it's not a religion. It's a belief subset into which certain religions fall. You can have a pagan religion, but "pagan" is not a religion.
Anyway, modern pagans usually know little or nothing about true paganism; they just follow whatever random junk they've found on the internet. If you want true paganism, start worshipping the Roman gods and do it properly, with incense and sacrifices.

But for the purposes of the poll it's good enough.
Aside from massive internet pedants.
