    The closest that my beliefs come to would probably be Pagan or Wicca. Hard to say though.

    Ahh, you made the classical mistake but calling Catholics Catholics and Protestants Christian, while Catholics are Christians as well.


    Protestantic Christian for me.

    Hey, you forgot to include "Copybook Headings"!

    As you might have guessed, I'm the token Presbyterian. Should I be concerned that it was distinguished from "Christian"?!?

    I'm other, I have faith but it's mostly in my own crap.

    I have issues with organized religion, but that comes from growing up in a town that has maybe 4500 people and 34 churches.

    This is really a difficult question, religion for me is as much ethnicity and culture as it is faith. Ethnical and culturally I am Christian. I was baptised as a babe, I took confirmation as a teenager, heck I even went to Sunday school. Those were just things you did in this culture, much like you celebrate Christmas without anyone, not even the priests bothering much about faith and worship and such.

    So I identify myself as a Christian(Lutheran) culturally and ethnical but I have no faith whatsoever and some serious issues with faith religion as some people might have noticed. :)

    btw, I voted agnostic.

    I don't know, perhaps he wanted to give option to those people who call themselves Christians instead of indicating their denomination somehow?

    Or denominations not listed here, though that would rather be "other Christian", anyway.

    Catholic for me.

    [​IMG] Officially I'm Catholick But I hate it! I don't want to be it but I'm to lazy to get it chanched.

    I believe in the force of nature, and if there is an even higher power, well I want to see first what its like before I can start believing.

    There must be "something" But maybe that something is inside all of us...

    To make a long story short: I Didn't vote.

    Wiegraf Folles, I don't know what you had in mind while posting this thread, but there would be a nice conversation if you asked: "What religion are you and why?" ;)
    And something else, I think there should be the three "basic" Christian beliefs: Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant and everything else should be included in Other Christian (as Chevy said). But then, I don't know what you had in mind while posting this thread.


    Anyway, I'm agnostic.
