Yeah, there's such a wide divergence between various schools, it's not a particularly useful moniker. I don't care for Buddhism in general, as I'm not pessimistic enough about suffering to be one, tho some forms, such as Zen, I find tolerable.

Voted Adventist since that's my formal/official affiliation, although I'd say I'm pretty progressive for most SDAs. I support women's ordination, consider Ellen White to be a commentator and teacher rather than an inspired prophet, and reject Sunday as the mark of the beast. I suspect I may have more in common with Seventh Day Baptists, but I'd have to attend an SDB service to know for sure.

I voted Lutheran and Other. I'm pretty proud to be Lutheran (ELCA), as it gave me a rather positive (read: laid back, liberal, "modern," whatever) experience with religion, and I also consider my being Lutheran as somewhat of a connection to my family's mostly German ancestry.

The "Other" comes in because I have a rather unconventional view of God, which is more of a physics-based interpretation of what an ultimate creator/higher being would be like ... you could almost say I'm a pantheist, actually, because I can't fathom how a God that created literally everything we know to be true (space, time, matter, thoughts, etc.) could be of those very things; I believe God, by definition, must be completely unfathomable and therefore a type of intelligence/consciousness that no one religion could have possibly described in detail.

I attend mosque every Friday, I fast for the month of Ramadan, celebrate both Eids (one for breaking the fast of Ramadan and one to commemorate Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son) I have most of the Qur'an memorized I try to pray each of the prayers

I don't have a beard nor wear jalabiya (unless it's for a religious holiday or cultural reason) and I attend a rather liberal mosque.

I'm a liberal Protestant, and I'd probably say Lutheran since I mostly attend Lutheran (ELCA) services, though I also go to some Episcopal and Presbyterian (PCUSA) services. I really like the ELCA, and being Lutheran is kind of an acknowledgment of my Norwegian and German heritage.

Wouldn't call myself an Orthodox Jew because I'm not (yet?) fully observant, but I frequently (and solely) attend services in Orthodox synagogues and I believe in G-d, Torah, and the necessity to adhere to halacha (even if I struggle with certain parts of it), so I voted Jewish - Orthodox.
