What are you?

[ELITEOFKINGWARMAN8]

Just wanted to know what religion you may be. This isn't an fancy poll with all the options it should have, I know, but it's just an simple, quick poll I put together.

Protestant (Presbyterian) for me.

[blackwatersix]

Catholic.

edit: Maybe you should include a separate one for Atheists and Agnostics... In the interest of statistical validity.

[Strelok]

Thank you for not putting "Atheism" as a "religion".

[ELITEOFKINGWARMAN8]

It is not an religion .

[Barry Goldwater]

Methodist.

[MuttonChops]

Catholic

[Monarchist]

If any atheists even bother to respond to this poll (and tick "Other?"), then I will be confirmed in my suspicions. Atheism really is a religion!

Though I am not officially Orthodox yet, I have chosen my Christian name and am in the catechumenical process. It is fair to list myself as Orthodox, then.

I just love the fact that Christianity is separated into three parts, but Judaism (Orthodox, Reformist, Rabbinical) is just one category. Similarly, Islam (Shi'ah, Sunni) manages to be lumped into one. Hurray for pro-Christian bias! The world needs more of it (as well as fewer minarets, burqas, synagogues, pagan temples, Mormon temples, Jehova's Witness houses, etc.).

i ticked other, and i am an atheist

Its a trap!!!

This idea of weak or strong atheism and that it's not a religion is for people to think that they're superior to people with beliefs. If atheism is a religion then they're right away become same as those who believe in existence of a god.

so people who have conflicting views think their views are better? I never would have guessed?

You either believe that there is a god or you believe that there is no god. If you haven't been convinced that there is a god then you believe that there is no god. It's really that simply but I'm sure you'll try not to put the label of religion on atheism to feel better but it's human nature to either believe that god exists or not exists.

lack of belief =/= belief in something. That is were your argument falls apart.

It's not really a myth that atheist look down on beliefs of people who believe in the existence of god.

If It's a yes or no question then your logic simply doesn't apply. So the argument doesn't really fall apart. The concept of god as a higher and powerful being is not unknown by any humans in history of Earth. Some believed fire was god or the sky was god for their natural powers. You knowing that they're simply natural phenomenons simply do not believe in the existence of god which in return means that you believe that there is no god.

It actually confuses me why Atheists are even posting in this thread, as they have no religion, and the poll asks "What religion are you?"

i posted here since someone said atheism is a religion

It's not really a myth that atheist look down on beliefs of people who believe in the existence of god.

yea thats more of the atheist sterotype. Most people i know dont give a about what most people think as long as they dont try to impose their beliefs on others.

If It's a yes or no question then your logic simply doesn't apply. So the argument doesn't really fall apart.

if your question does not allow all the options that currently exist, then i'd say the question is flawed yes?

The concept of god as a higher and powerful being is not unknown by any humans in history of Earth. Some believed fire was god or the sky was god for their natural powers.

ok

You knowing that they're simply natural phenomenons simply do not believe in the existence of god which in return means that you believe that there is no god.

wait what? mabe its because im tired but that dosent make any sense to me.

There are only two answers possible. The question is not flawed. For example, I'm asking if there is a white rabbit in front of you. You look in front of you and see no rabbit. So you believe that there is no rabbit in front of you which can also be said that you do not believe that there is a rabbit in you. It's the same thing!

I guess it was poorly worded.
You, knowing that they're simply natural phenomenons makes you not believe in the existence of god which in return means that you believe that there is no god.

If atheists belong to a religion what are they worshipping/revering?

A non-belief perhaps? Although that isn't religion in a way because it's not really structured..

We worship the flying spaghetti monster, our ritual is eating babies and our moral code is to burn Religious people on the stake, of course, everyone knows that. It's on the billboard when you sign up. Of course we are a Religion.

For the record I am an atheist without religion so I am not responding to the poll.

Various sects of Buddhism are atheistic, just so you know. Religion does not require a god or gods to worship.
