Choose the category below that best fits your religion (or non-religious) beliefs/commitments:
(UPDATE: I made an error below for the Muslim choices: "Shia Muslin" should have been "Sunni Muslim." If you identify as a Shiite Muslim, choose that one, and if you identify as a Sunni Muslim please chose "Shia"--sorry about that, but once the poll starts, I can't edit it without losing all the votes.)
ANOTHER UNFORTUNATE OMISSION: the Eastern Orthodox Church. Sorry about that. I'd urge readers to choose Catholic, since I can not edit the poll at this point.
UPDATE: So with almost 1900 votes, here's the reader breakdown:
70% of readers are either atheists or agnostics (52% atheist [978 readers], 18% agnostic [336 readers]).
Religions with at least 1% of the readership:
Catholic: ` 9% (165)
Other Protestant: 5% (97)
Episcopalian: 3% (64)
Jewish: 3% (60, with roughly 1% each in Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox Judaism)
Calvinist: 2% (39)
All of the following had 1% (with number of readers in parentheses): Baptist (16), Lutheran (28), Mormon (16), Shiite Muslim (11), Buddhism (27), and Jainism (14).
