such a knob...you want to do poll but can't remember one of the religions. And if you have read anything on this forum, do really think it is such a good idea to do this particular poll????

Well, I'm glad for you. Seems that you have never made any mistake.

Sorry for that, I wrote it before but seems that I have erase the bad one, you can't put as many poll options as you want ...
As I can't edit, if someone can, should be good..

And what I have seen on this forum, is that people are not ashamed of their beliefs, and that many religions are represented.
And as a poll is anonymous, I think it won't be a problem for anybody...

you can edit your post as such Sved, then just edit and add the other reliogion as wished, no prob.

I voted, I feel buddhism as a lifestyle more than a religion that fits me and my thoughts.

I can edit the message, but not the poll ...
In a way, it should be normal not to be able to change it when it has begun...

Well, I follow Hinduism because I was born a Hindu and to me its a way of life. I don't have to do anything special to be a Hindu, good or bad... suits me just fine. :D
Haven't ever thought of religion that hard to even think of changing my religion, better to focus on being a decent human being instead...

If you're interested in religious stats, this site is pretty comprehensive and well researched (including lots of religions you've probably never heard of):

Well, basically it means you have no specific religion. but it is a very general term.. Some believe in the sancticity of religion and some don't believe in religion at all.. some that i know of think religion is a waste of time... :lol:

Argh!! lets just say they don't believe in anything!!
