I voted "atheist" but I prefer to see myself as a skeptic more than an atheist.

I was born and raised a Catholic, today Agnostic. For me, I don't believe in God and even less that he( she? it?) choose a Church to be represented by, but I haven't proofs to absolutely deny its existence.

Voted Hindu/Vaishnavism. I am not ready to embrace the label totally in day-to-day dealings, and I am still exploring all my options, but the Vaishnava dharma is where I feel most comfortable as of now in my spiritual journey.

I'm also influenced by some sects of Christianity. I have a very specific religious outlook that probably doesn't fit entirely into any one tradition.

I was raised agnostic much to the disdain of my grandmother. My father has never centralized on one faith, and has alternately described himself as an anti-theist and a "Lutheran in name only".

Agnostic atheist, not an anti-theist, probably would qualify as a secular humanist but never cared for the label much.

I'm an Agnostic Atheist, I definitely do not believe in any religion or higher power but I also do not deign to know it, that's pretty straightforward. I'm also definitely a secular humanist, I believe in humanity and its great potential. Lastly, I voted Jewish (other) because, while I do not believe in the Jewish religion, the very fact of my Jewish nationality is important to me, and I'm generally proud of the Jewish culture and traditions, so it's a central part of my identity.

I'm a Southern Baptist, but my dad's family is Catholic (my mom's is Baptist).  I was actually raised Catholic, but I moved away from religion in high school and drifted back in college, but just to a different denomination that was a lot more understandable and relatable to me.

I bet I'm the only person here who can say I was baptized twice (once as a baby in a Catholic church and once as an adult in a Southern Baptist one).

Of course, my mom's family was really excited when I became Southern Baptist, but I actually didn't even tell my grandma (the most religious person on my mom's side) until after I had already made the decision and joined a church.  She did come to my church for my baptism, though.  My dad's family would obviously have preferred that I would have stayed a Catholic for my whole life (they are mostly very practicing), but they were not that upset about it, considering that my previous religious conversation with them was that I was an atheist in high school.  They viewed it as an improvement of some sort (and found the second baptism to be funny for some reason).

Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, Congregationalist seem the most popular by far out of the religious options.

I wonder, is there an accurate, up-to-date, pie-chart showing the divide in Protestant Christianity? (or Christianity in general, though I already know Catholicism is almost half) Based on how many belong to each sect?

Perhaps it is an oversimplification, but Christianity is a very broken religion as far as first of all people not living up to what it requires, and secondly in that it is divided into so many sects, although one of the advantages of Roman Catholicism is that it has remained united, at least in a superficial way. I think that there are thousands of Christian sects.

People should try to live up to the idea of being perfect, which is what Jesus taught, rather than using "I'm only human and a sinner" as a feeble excuse for wrongdoing.

Your list is very good, but in the US (I don't know about other countries)... many simply define themselves as "nones", which is a very large category, second only to Evangelicals:

http://www.pewforum.org/religious-landscape-study/

"Nothing in particular" is larger than agnostics and atheists combined, although all three options are grouped together as "nones". "Nothing in particular" is not the same as nontheist because it doesn't mean that one doesn't believe in a god or goddess; one could be in this group and still be theistic.
