I was raised **Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints**. Now I’m Christian with no religion. An Independant Christian I guess.

I noticed that you included Quaker (Society of Friends) under Christianity. Just so you know, Friends can be Christian but aren’t necessarily.

I have my own belief system which doesn’t fit into any religion on offer, so put me down under _other_.

I’m of a scientific mind. Label me an Atheist for simplicity, though the term may be too limited. I’ve found no convincing arguments or empirical evidence to support belief in any form of divine, supernatural, or paranormal being. Nor do I accept the claims of pseudoscience. No God(s), no angels, no demons, no pixies, no UFOs, no ESP, not even Lady Luck.

Atheism probably shouldn’t be included as a \* Religion \* in any case.

Mainly agnostic, with elements of Wiccan philosophy.

You could say the same for agnostic, and anyone who isn’t practising their religion. The OP should be **spiritual beliefs poll** rather than **religion poll**. Not that I’m judging the OP construction abilities of a Mod 😛

Henotheistic neo-pagan shaman seems to sum it up pretty well for me.

I think Christ was a human being who had some good ideas about turning the other cheek etc. so I tend to support his ideas, even though I believe in a pantheistic God. That the universe is part of God (though I’m unsure as yet whether the Universe is the material of God or a thought of God’s).
