With which system of belief (or non-belief) do you identify most closely? ---

Is this because I asked who would be brave enough? And I see you’ve disabled the ability to see who voted what. Cunning 🙂 ---

Yep. See how influential you are? Remember, with great power comes great responsibility. ---

> [@Lobsang](#): > > And I see you’ve disabled the ability to see who voted what. Cunning 🙂 Actually, that wasn’t my idea. I didn’t preview (note the noun-verb disagreement in the poll question) and I assumed responses were public by default. If anyone _wants_ to out themselves, feel free. You may also use replies to elaborate on your choice, keeping in mind that this is not the place for witnessing or debating. I’m curious about the “others”. ---

I’ve been an agnostic for about 30 years now. However, I have a baptismal certificate from the Baptist church and am currently attending Methodist services. So, I’m a card-carrying Christian, but ideologically agnostic. ---

Aaaand… suprise, suprise, the biggest group on the Dope is the athiests. I was actually thinking about the religious makeup of theist Dopers, today. I don’t suppose we have any Zoroastrionists? ---

I think you need additional categories: non-denominational theist. “Spiritual but not religious”. ---

That’s what I consider myself, too, Curtis, but I’m not sure some of them would agree. I guess conservative, but not fundamental. ---

Ecletic pantheist. Some overlap with Wicca, some borrowings from eastern (filtered through earthy-crunchy zen beansprout countercultural western interp), choice slices from gnostic concepts (but without the historical context), and a lot of roll-yer-own. nevertheless: serious mode, not dilettante. ---

Wow. I’m all by myself for right now… Nice. Though i was tempted to put down multiple answers, but I suppose I can’t. As I’m a fan of Buddhist thought and Agnosticism too. And Other’s always fun too. And who doesn’t have an occasional Atheist day or two? Ah well, I’m sure another one of us will come along eventually. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/religious-poll/511137.md?page=2)
