Default Religious Survey

In writing a paper for my English class, I'd like to include a survey of the three main stances on religious beliefs. Religious (belief in a deity or deities), Agnostic (does not believe in the existence of or absence of a deity or deities), and Atheistic (does not believe in a deity or deities).

Note: if there is any dispute on the definition of the catagories, please use Webster for the definition - if you still can't decide, please don't vote.

Please do not debate the religious types or opinions of others. This is purely for collection of data for my paper, and is not intended to be a contestation of any sort. Thanks.

I technically fit as an agnostic. But some might consider me an atheist.
Because I have zero faith in any established religion. I do have some room for belief in something we could call God... but not any of the gods depicted in religion.
I'm a humanist. And for people who consider a moral philosophy a religion in itself (which it's not), I suppose that would make me religious.
But really to me the issue of God is irrelevant.

I don't understand why you included those other two posts in your assertion that you are a religious deist?

What do those posts have to do with your deism?

?!?!?!?


EDIT: Oh, you're talking about my signature. That goes on every post I make, and I include those quotes because it reveals the true nature of leftism. It's perfectly legitimate to quote other people in your signature so long as you have their permission and don't take something out of context.

White Fox, you might consider taking me out of your signature if it's reserved for leftys.

I am a Muslim and about as conservative as they come.

Pro: gun, death penalty, states rights, etc.

Anti: gay marriage, abortion, homos in military, etc
