What Religion/Secular/Nonreligion are you and please explain why. The fact is, we are still a young race and only know a small percentage about of the universe. First and foremost, I am an Agnostic, because no one knows if there is a god or gods of if there is what is the nature of this god. All theological discussion is speculative, a sharing of opinions. So don't sweat the details.

Since we have nihilism can't we put Hedonism up there?

I'm "other": Wiccan. Knowing GT, it probably would have been better to skip Hinduism and put that up instead, because there haven't been any Hindus voting on these polls iirc.

Agnostic, Sceptic, 'Free-thinker' and Secularist.
I'm guessing that will be a popular 4 choices...

Weak atheist.
I don't know what I can't prove. And I cannot fully disprove the existence of any deities. But I also can't prove the existence either, thus the pivotal reason for why I'm atheist. As far as I am concerned the burden of proof lies with the religious. If they can prove (prove, not explain with faith, big difference) beyond a shadow of a doubt that their god is real, then it'd be a different story. But the very basis for religion is faith; blind faith in most cases even. I cannot, and will not, get behind that.

I choose Other even though I'm Christian.
The reason is because I don't "believe in Jesus to avoid Hell" in the sense that the OP probably is thinking. I do believe in God, Christ and the Holy Ghost and all of that stuff, but I also believe that "Hell" is a state of mind, and that the actual place is impossible for anyone here to go to. Rather, there are three kingdoms in heaven, if you would. The top is for members of the LDS church, the middle is for those who aren't member but are nice people, and the bottom are those who are mean and cruel.
That's a simplification of it though.

I chose freethinker, weak atheist. I don't KNOW there's no god until I can prove it, but I personally highly doubt there is one.

What a frivolous selection of choices. It could easily have been reduced into two categories: Theist and Nontheist. The rest are arbitrarily assorted positions that relate to the two previous.
Some of the definitions are skewed aswell. Nontheism is defined here as 'The concept of god is meaningless'. This is clearly a misattribution. It would have been wiser to have dropped the definitions since they are clearly biased.

I'd say I'm more of a free-thinker. I don't really believe in a god or higher power, though I'm not strong in that belief. I won't try to force it on anyone and I won't really look into it. Basically I think I really just don't give a damn. I'd rather spend my time trying to enjoy life over thinking about what is or isn't real, especially when I don't believe either can be proven to me.
My religious beliefs: "Eh, screw it."
