I’m an apatheist. Meaning I don’t think about it until somebody asks. But I voted atheist.
“Culturally Catholic” could work for me, too. Meaning when I’m surprised I say “Holy Mother of God!” 
I went for secularist because it comes closest for me, especially if you go with the definition of “religious indifference.” My background coud be described as laissez-faire Protestant, but I just never felt any stirring of belief. I do feel that differences in religious belief have been largely responsible for much of the misery in this world, but I also understand that some people find great comfort in their beliefs. To me, the word “atheist” implies a more activist stance – not only a lack of belief but a drive to banish the beliefs of others. That’s why I think secularist suits me better – I’m just too indifferent to be a true atheist.
Not anywhere near the Ohio/PA border? Know a former “gas passer” with a very bad back by any chance?
They tend to believe in free will so Protestant-Arminian.
That would be an anti-theist which some atheists (most notably Hitchens, Murray-O’Hair, Dawkins) are.
They are both Christian-based but are at the same time rather unorthodox (ie anti-Trinitarianism for instance).
I suppose you could pick Christian-Other which included Catholics outside the Roman Catholic Church.
Same here.
Even though I’m now atheist, at one time I was a VERY devout and very studious Christian, so let me offer another pedantic scholarly criticism of the options offered in this poll.
“Christian - Calvinist” and “Christian - Arminian” are NOT different religions. In fact, they’re not even different sects or denominations within Christianity, the way that Protestantism and Catholicism are, or Baptist and Methodist.
Calvinism and Arminianism are two schools of Christian theological thinking on a relatively narrow, minor topic: the question of specifically how people gain salvation through Christ. Calvinists believe in predestination (direct “election” by God of those who will be saved), while Arminians adhere to a belief in a sort of free-will salvation, open to any and all takers. Although various Xtian sects and denominations tend to fall in line with one or the other (many Catholics are Arminians, while many Protestants tend towards Calvinism) the labels are not at all universal or airtight. One could easily be a nominal Baptist who holds Arminian views, or a nominal Catholic who tends toward Calvinist thinking on this question.
But why the debate in the first place? Well, it’s 'cause the Bible has passages that support BOTH views, rather overtly. As the pastor of my mother’s church once said, “You kinda have to believe in both.” While this dichotomy is not a necessary, logical doctrinal self-contradiction (it could be the case that God appoints/elects some people for salvation, and also accepts others who respond to the Gospel), the Bible doesn’t offer much guidance in the way of resolving the apparent contradiction along these lines. So several years ago I concluded that both schools of thought are most likely just doctrines conceived and expressed by the Bible’s (very human) authors.
As an atheist, I couldn’t care less about the issue anymore.

Well, I’m near the Ohio border, but have only lived in this area for about a year. So, no, I don’t really know who you’re talking about. Sorry. 
I’m a theist, but don’t believe in any one religion. Rather, I’ve looked at a number and all they all basically say is “Do your best.” They just differ on the details. Christianity added ‘Love God’. Realising that there is a God involved a personal epiphany I do not care to discuss.

Atheism is not a religious belief, neither is secularism for that matter. Absence of a religion is not itself a religion. How many times and how many different ways does this have to be expressed before theists understand? It’s not all that complicated a concept.
ETA - An option that should be in the list, if you want to be inclusive, yet not presumptive, is: I have no religious belief.

I disagree with this. What they are against is our secular government telling us what and how to believe (National Day of Prayer). Also, they are against the fact that while we are bombarded with religious messages nearly everywhere on a daily basis, we as non believers should just sit down and shut up.
I believe with the people you mentioned above (with the possible exception of O’Hair because I don’t know that much about her) have stated that people can believe what they want, just don’t try to convince us it is logical or deserves respect.
Atheism includes that. Contrary to popular belief.
I’d count myself as Christian - generic. I don’t go to any church (lapsed Catholic/Episcopalian) but I still hold some of the beliefs I was raised with. It’s personal, and it works for me.
It’s the other way 'round actually. ‘I have no religious belief’ includes atheism.
:dubious: Presuming that the the term is not synonymous with ‘soft’ atheism, what types of ‘having no religious belief’ would not be included under soft atheism?
I’m a bullshitentialist atheist.
I put agnostic, but I am atheist with regard to any religion I have ever heard of.
All “atheism” means is “the lack of belief in any god.” “The lack of belief in anything religious” is broader than “the lack of belief in any god.”
Atheist as the term is defined by the majority here (hence my vote); hard-agnostic by my own description.
That’s a rough theological similarity. They do very different things with it. Comparable, or closer, parallels could be drawn between many pairs you list separately, like Sunni and Shia.
