    I'd imagine that the term "Jewish" might have been more suitable.

    Actually Judaism would be the actual religion.

    I'm sure if you pm a mod they would change it for you, I actually thought it didnt seem right when I saw the poll and before I saw monkeyfudge's post.

    Good poll by the way. Could I suggest that those who put in other say what faith they are a part of. (e.g Sikhism, Shinto etc.)

    I note Asiaprod hasn't voted...
    It's not just your right - it's your responsibility! ;)

    I just heard there was a poll going BTW.

    Oh, and the poll edit could have fixed the typos too. tsk tsk.

    It's my fault, I started the poll and the typos are all mine. I have a problem with spelling mistakes and typos, mild undiagnosed dyslexia me thinks.
    Bluewolf, apologies mate. Dito all other Buddhists.

    It looks like the atheists are running away with this.
    We need more votes though to get an accuarate picture, though. The results from this survey are completly out of line with anything from the cso.

    In the census I know athiests, agnostics etc that said christian, just because their parents would have wanted them to and other stupider reasons, one girl I asked said she had no reason!

    22 Theists so far though, and I'd say theres a lot more to vote.

    Buddhists generally theists(Even buddhists that aren't atheist) and 'other' doesn't mean they are either!

    I said other. If you have the urge to define me by my beliefs, call me a Discordian.
