Fixer-Upper Denominational Poll

Not that it matters, but here's a better constructed poll, per belief system than "Christian or Atheist".

The categories were taken from:
http://www.adherents.com/Religions_By_Adherents.html

Some were combined, because I couldn't get enough to fit. If you're offended by a combination, well, tough titties.

'Juche' (the official North Korean religion) does not appear on the list, so if you are 'Juche', you'll just have to chime in.

If you are "other", you'll also have to post.
 
Well, if there were 20 or 30 available poll options... or I suppose I could've dropped some more options. Apparently, there just aren't enough of your faith in the world. ;) I had trouble even getting Judaism onto the list.

...
10. Juche: 19 million
...
15. Shinto: 4 million
16. Cao Dai: 3 million
17. Tenrikyo: 2.4 million
18. Neo-Paganism: 1 million
19. Unitarian-Universalism: 800 thousand
20. Rastafarianism: 700 thousand
21. Scientology: 600 thousand
22. Zoroastrianism: 150 thousand
 
And still no "other..." Geesh.

You could have at least slapped on a catch-all so everyone could vote.
 
ya couldn't even add in Upchurch's Unitarianism, after he complained in my poll.

Gosh what a lousy poll!!!!!!

Are you sure you don't want me laughing at you? 'Cause that's funny, no two ways about it.
 
Unfortunately, he complained while I was busy constructing this poll, but if you wish, we can spend a little while in this topic discussing how such a poll could be constructed with ten options, and a thousand faiths.

For Riddick's purposes, I imagine a rather simple,
  • Atheist
  • Not Atheist
probably would have sufficed.
 
No, no. It's either Atheist or Christian with Riddick - God knows those terrible heathens are nothing but demon-worshippers!

You're right. For proper persecution it probably should have been
  • Christian
  • Christian-hating Jerks
 
Possibly a multiple-checkbox poll like this?

1. Believe in Judeo-Christian-Islamic god
2. Believe in other god
3. Believe in no god
4. Don't know/don't care about god(s)
5. Believe life was designed and built
6. Believe evolution/natural process made life
5. Believe universe was designed and built
6. Believe natural process made universe
7. Believe in afterlife
8. Believe in reincarnation
9. Believe this is 'it'
10. Member of church/organization based on above

I think you were close. If I were doing it I would have gone with the top eight choices, then "none" or "non-religious" (to avoid any atheist/agnostic hairsplitting) and an "Other" option. It still wouldn't be perfect but it would cover the bases I think.

Good idea. Only that there are two options two many ...

Perhaps you could put "no God" and "don't know" together and get rid of the last point.
