The other thread inspired me to make a poll. I'm curious to see what the stats on this forum are...what percentage of people are Christian, atheist, etc, and does it resemble the world averages at all?

For the world stats:

Bhuddism is the closest for me and what I usually claim, although I'm not technically bhuddist.

Daaaaaaaaaamn.

I never realized I was talking to so many damn Protestants!

Lutheran is more-or-less a Protestant, right?

um, not really 'cause Protestant is indeed a denomination. Hence "non-denomination"

Actually, when talking about denomination, most people would assume you would be referring to Luteran, Methodist, etc, which all fall under the Protestand umbrella. Hence one would actually be a non-denominational Protestant.

In practical terms, if you're Christian and not Catholic, you are Protestant. There's not really any other feasible way to look at it.

Really, the main missing Christian item is Christian-Eastern Orthodox.

Protestant is not a denomination. It is a very wide range of not being Roman Catholic.

Atheist.

There is no God. You are dust when you die.

The End.

Is non-denominational a synonym for fundamentalist?

I thought it was common knowledge that the Mormons were the ones who got it right?

A lot of people on this board are going straight to Hell.
