Religion (and lack thereof) at Hypography

I am curious as to the ratio of people who believe in some sort of spirituality vs. those who do not at Hypography. There was a poll like this before that I believe was split roughly 50/50, I wonder if the makeup of the forums has changed.

There are three choices in this poll:

Theist - this includes any belief that includes a diety or god of some sort

Atheist - this is for anybody who does not have any spiritual beliefs

Spiritual Atheist - this is for anybody who has some sort of spiritual belief, but one that does not include a diety, such as Buddism, and New Age spirituality


If additional choices are needed, I can add them in the future.

Talking Re: Religion (and lack thereof) at Hypography

I went with Spiritual Atheist as it appears the spiritual meme is deeply ingrained in humans but wholly an internal bio-environmental phenomenon. As a human myself I find it a fascinating concept rife with, and for, speculation.

That one wants to theorize creation as a possible explanation of first cause should not be a reason in and of itself to believe that theory as fact. The existence of the universe itself is not evidence of a big bang, creation or any other causation of that existence.

Re: Religion (and lack thereof) at Hypography

I'm a theist, I'm proud, and am not ashamed. It's perfectly reasonable that people mock me for my beliefs.
I believe strongly in "freedom of religion", or as the title of this thread mentions, "lack thereof".

Whatever makes people happy or comfortable is fine with me.

Re: Religion (and lack thereof) at Hypography

I guess I'm an atheist. I don't believe in god, however, I don't rule the existence of a god out.

I like to question answers, not answer questions.
