i said other (there might be a cataory fo my beliefs but i don't know it
I believe that the Bible has a couple of very basic rules that need to be followed, many of the Ten Commandments should be followed, but i don't believe that there is 1 being or entitie that is controlling everything we don't. as far as life after death i don't know, reincarnation comes to my mind. i dunno what else tho

I am, what I like to call myself, an "Unofficial" Baha'i. Mainly because I haven't declared myself because I don't feel I am completely ready to convert, but I know that this is the religion for meeee!  It's hard to explain why I'm not ready, I s'pose, but that's okay, all in due time.

At the top of the poll it actually says "Are you....?" so it is asking "Are you a Muslim?" which is the correct term.
It is the same in the whole poll, e.g Christian isn't a Religion Christianity is.

Well, I chose atheist seeing i don't believe God exists but then you could say I'm agnostic because I don't think we really know either way, just I choose to think God doesn't exist. Most of the time though I don't really think about it, wether God exists or not and what I believe doesn't change the fact I need to do my spanish homework.

I'm an undecided Athiest.
I reckon there's some higher power.
but I don't know what it is.
And I've had catholic school style nun taught religion rammed down my throat since age three.
So I don't really know, when it's mine time to find out it'll hit me i guess.

I don't put a label on it. In a way, I have my own religion and I have my own theory on how the whole universe and life thing lays out. I do believe in two higher, closely equal powers (good, bad) and the non-human entities or bodies that follow them, as well as the way things take place here on earth and all through the universe. Very hard to explain though I could go on for hours.

I was an atheist up until pretty much High School, then became agnostic, and now I'm a Wiccan. Lol, its been a long journey. It was really strange, I literally was lying in bed and suddenly I just felt I needed more in my life, and I'd always been drawn to nature. Before I'd barely known anything about Wicca (My best friend is a serious Wiccan, but for the most part I'd only been exposed to "fluffy bunnies"), but I did know it was a nature religion. I stayed up the entire night researching and fell head over heels, and haven't looked back since. I would never have believed I'd be where I am now three years ago.

I'd class myself as a Hindu agnostic...
I go with the traditions and beliefs of my faith but at the same time I don't like the feeling of being akin to a pawn on a chessboard - I don't like the idea that a "God" upstairs is controlling what I'm doing.
Although I do believe in a God as a figurehead and an embodiment of strength... just not controlling, if that makes sense.

Atheist. I believe in no gods, no prophets, no purpose to or meaning of the universe, no afterlife. Not that all of these are necessary to be an atheist, but they're what I believe (or rather what I don't believe).

Agnostic.
Essentially means "not a sheep" in Latin.
I've never really felt the need to belong to a religion. The only reason I went to church as a little kid was because it was all I knew. I like being an individual.
I believe there might be a god, because really what is the chance that some random particles collided and made life? Or the universe for that matter? But I think that the Bible is so flawed. It's been edited countless times over the years, translated into countless languages, and things have been added in that weren't there originally. So how can I be expected to believe every word and take it as law? That's just my reasoning.
I tolerate other people's beliefs so long as they're not being rude to me about my own.

I am a Chassid. Chassidut is Hebrew for devotion. It basically means that I am devoted to Torah Judaism and also view it from a Kabbalistic standpoint. I put/will put a lot of my religious thoughts on my blog (recently created).
I swear never to be silent whenever wherever human beings are enduring suffering and humiliation. We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must — at that moment — become the center of the universe.

I'm a religious Satanist. I mostly follow LaVeyan Satanism, but there are a few things I differ from them on; I think they're a bit overly aggressive in their hatred of all things Catholic and Christian. So while I agree with most of their philosophies, there are are a few things (such as the Black Mass) that I don't do.
Not around so much now that school's started
"Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones." Marcus Aurelius

I'm agnostic; but I am currently investigating the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I may soon get baptized. So I selected both; agnostic and mormon. (Although most mormons don't like being reffered to as Mormons. We are Latter Day Saints)

I've been an Atheist for about 3 years now
Who do you carry that torch for, my young man?
Do you believe in anything?
Or do you carry it around just to burn things down?
Meet me tonight on the turnpike my darling,
where we believe in everything.
If we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown,
so let's strap ourselves up to this engine now
with our God who we found laying under the back seat.

Athiest (slightly agnostic) with a couple odd beliefs on the side. I have a lot of interest in Buddhism, my cousin actually claims to be a Buddhist, though more in theory than in practice...
~Where death is I am not, where I am death is not, so we never meet~
I'd rather die terrified
than live forever.
We will all die so gloriously, that having ever lived will seem like folly.
