True Believer - Believe completely in a God and follow the teachings of a Holy Book in a major religion - attend services regularily.
Middle of the Roader - Might believe in a God of some form but dont hold true to the specific teachings of any major religion.
Agnostic -One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism.. More likely to believe in Evolution than Creation. Could also mean a belief in a "supreme being" not necessarily God.
Atheist - There is no God. Total belief in Evolution vs Intelligent Design. Non Theist.
Man, I can see this one opening up a major can of ugliness. This board has a habit of labeling anyone with beliefs as fools and idiots.
So do I.......
Seems I am a pure believer....

How come non believers bring up the name of Jesus without thinking about it when they are angry? Blurting it out, when they may get angry. For instance hammering your thumb instead of a nail, getting rear ended by another vehicle. Things like that. For if Jesus Christ does not exist, why do people who do not believe bring up the name when this happens without thinking about what they are saying. If he is only human, why not other names brought out like that without thinking. There is something to that name whether people think so or not. Reading this you can tell where I am coming from. Something to ponder over for some time.

Because it is part of our modern vernacular. Saying "Jesus Christ!" nowadays generally is using a swear for the sake of a swear, without religious intent. The origin of the term is not considered.

Why do believers and non-believers say other words when they hit their thumb with a hammer or get in a car accident? Is there "something to" the words "****" or "****" or "SON OF A BITCH"?
Agnosticism is not some middle of the road between theism and atheism. Their belief is that it is not possible to know whether God exists or not. Theists and atheists believe one side of the coin or the other.
Secondly, I don't think evolution is necessarily some telltale sign as to whether you believe in God and/or religion or not. In fact, it is quite misleading. There are many Christians (and those of other faiths, such as Judaism for instance) who believe in evolution, who don't believe a strict, literal interpretation of the Bible. Some even celebrate evolution as a form of intelligent design. Same goes for the Big Bang Theory.
Yeah I thought it would be pretty much impossible to capture the options in a poll, but it's a rough enough guideline to hopefully find out something meaningful.

Along the same lines, who is this Pete guy that people talk about?

Don't you see? These atheist jerkfaces will stop at nothing in their "War on Jesus". I'd give you more examples of their evil secular agenda but I'm busy trying to get Family Guy removed from television.
errrr...uhh... just yell "BERTUZZI!" instead of the Lord's Name in Vain (tm) ?
Where's the option, I need to believe/hope in a God with a sense of humour? Perhaps one who demonstrates power through the use of hand-puppets and voice impersonations in the clouds?
I believe there is something out there after we pass on..it might be God or the great hockey rink in the sky..there has been too many reports of near death experiences not to discount this I believe
