Or we could save up the doorknobs and give them to Sack-Man, the fictitious superhero my son's friend invented whose super power was to hit bad guys with a sack of knobs.

I can't vote because there is no NONE of the ABOVE choice. And there is no option for Bahai, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, etc. Why would one have to admire mostly Abrahamic religions as opposed to non-western ones.

Islam appears to be utterly failing, Judaism slightly failing, and Christianity failing even less.

There might have been more votes if the poll asked for the religion atheists could most tolerate. Or, as Woodrow put it, least bothersome to be around.

I get the impression the question was about which Abrahamic religion was seen in the best light. I would imagine most atheists could "respect" Buddhism a whole lot more easily than any of the Abrahamic ones, and the results would reflect that/be less than interesting.

The Quakers. Socially and politically active, an open and tolerant form of Christianity. People who believe their relationship with God ( which is an introverted , deeply personal one not done for "show")means they should be Good people rather than preachy and evangelical.

I know a lot of Quakers and have a huge respect for them. I admire their stance on social issues and their hard work and commitment to others without having to sell their "truth" to the rest of the world.

Good , modest, unassuming people. The way we ideally should all be. And Christianity at its best.

Buddhism when it isn't a religion. Yeah go figure.

`If you were about to convert for any reason, which one would it be?
(Please pick one even if you will never do it anyway)

` Muhammed or Jesus Christ? Which main religious person do you feel like is overall better leader of the religion? Why?

` Which one has better holidays/culture/tradition?

` Would you rather live next to church, synagogue or mosque?

Are you serious?

My answers would be neither, neither, none of the above.

They're all from the same book... They stem from the same source. Why would you have us chose from what is basically the same religion?

Maybe it's like Rock, Jazz or classical when it's all music.

None of the above. The poll would be more interesting if it hadn't been limited to Abrahamic religions, in which case I would have chosen Buddhism. Not that I was asked.
