Since there's too many religions to list and be comprehensive and open-minded, I figure this is the second best. I'm quite curious to see the results based on a portion of the community labeled as intellectual, since I've always associated religion with a lack of intelligence. I'm not calling religious people stupid, but I am saying that the poor and uneducated are more liable to be religious because they have nothing more sturdy to rely on other than a higher power to guide them through their lives. Edit: Damn poll option character limit. Third Option: "I act according to how I believe he/she/it/they would want their creations to." Last Option: "I act according to my own interpretations of civil behavior." Post edited at 2:37 pm on Jan. 8, 2009 by Mein Alias

I never fancied biology. Too complicated and rather boring. However, you should watch that stance. Religious people tend to poke at the sheer immensity of biology to prove the existence of a divine.

I'm a Buddhist, so I went with option two, although so far as creation is concerned, I follow the idea of evolution.

I chose the last option, because I lack a belief in a deity and I am not religious in any way whatsoever.

You tried being too cute, which resulted with your poll coming across both pretentious and convoluted. If that was your goal all along, then you certainly succeeded. However, to answer your question, I adhere solely to the Restoration Movement (Stone-Campbell Restoration Movement) bordering Nondenominational Christianity.

I was not trying to be cute or funny. If you're referring to how I noted the genders, then you're completely closed minded. I know plenty of people who think that their god is a female, others who believe their god is without form (and thus gender), and then there's the majority who believe it is a He. My intentions did not involve making other people's beliefs seem infantile.

I say that your poll is convoluted and you imply that I'm gender biased? You could have fleshed out more of the particulars within your OP rather than try writing Gone With the Wind within the poll margins instead. Also, before you go and blindly assume that I'm close-minded, perhaps you should first ask what I do for a living without feeling that you know me better than I know myself.
