question on what religion you are that your religion is not listed? i take surveys every day for hours to earn money or prizes etc and i HATE getting to the religion part because i dont really think it matters to the survey and because they NEVER have my religion or even a broad list of religions to choose from! its like they list various types of christianity but pagan, spiritualist, taoist etc etc are not listed. you have to either choose other or none.. now im not easily offended and this wouldnt bother me if i didnt see it so often. i just dont see why they put like baptist, pentecostal, methodist, the like two variables such as catholic and jewish then OTHER and thats all! there are so many religions out there you would think they would broaden it more.. im sick of choosing OTHER and im not gonna pick something opposite of what i believe in either.. am i the only one that this irritates? heck i rather them just remove the question than for them to use it in the news and have X% as OTHER and it standing for a half a dozen different religions. thats not helping anyone understand anything! lol.. note that this is not to offend anyone or any religion. i feel everyone should choose the correct one for them but i also believe that people should be accepting of what other people choose therefore acknowledging it and its existence as a belief and a way of life.

Naw it doesnt bother me in the slightes really...I mean fact of the matter is for me personally that there is no way any survey could cover ALL reliigons and make EVERYONE happy ya know so they pick the most common...Its the same with "Race" on a survey..they NEVER have what I am so its either black or other that I put as my answer....Its just not a big deal to me ya know....

yeah but like some of them they could just list as one like "christian" for the methodist and baptist etc.. then they would have room for at least a few others lol.. that would be annoying if they never had your race!!
