Options and wording have been revised both in this poll from the 10-11 RPFs poll, as well as every single year for the RPFs polls. I've never been happy with it, and still am not. Nobody else is ever happy with this one, either. :D

Wording change in this poll from previous:
OLD:Which of the following religious ideologies do you most identify with?
NEW:Which of the following religious ideologies/organizations do you most identify with?
-Merged some Christian denominations into "Other"
-Added denominations to Muslim
-Probably to outrage, I made up an arbitrary religion called "Eastern" with denominations including Buddhist and Hindu. Feel free to call me a shitbag for it. :)



Issue: X was raised Y, but is now Z. Does X identify with Y because X's family is Y and celebrates Y's traditions, or with Z because it's what he believes in.
*In such a case, I'd advise to vote Z.
Issue: Atheism is in a different category than "non-religious." wtf?
*I'm taking the position that Atheism is a committed belief. This is obviously a contentious position. If you believe you are more "non-religious" than "atheist," please select the non-religious option.
Issue: Graph is missing options.
*Yep. Done to keep the graph readable and small. All results are in there, but they have been merged into more broad categories.
