It would have been nice to see a choice for the Left-Hand Path religions (Satanism, Luciferianism, Setianism,etc.) since most of the other religions seem to be present on the list..

I'm sure others have stated this fact, but I have no religion. I am atheist. Atheism, by definition, has no theistic belief.

Although I have nothing against any religion, I dont like their recruiting method. I feel akward and unconfortable when I have to listen to their sermon. I also feel unconfortable when I have to tell them that I am not interested in their religion.

I used to live in a small Texas city filled with Jenova witness believers. The recruitment there was non stop and even problematic. One of my neighbors even had an small sign that said "Not interested in religious pamphelts." That was risky on his part. Most of the people there were active recruiters. What if they were to get upset at him for the sign? They could do some religious-extremist-punishments or something.

With that said I want to ask someone that knows, why are jenovas witnesses so persistant in their recruitment (or enlightnment)? Why do they like Saturday mornings?
Heres what to do if they call around! Be overly friendly and real sweet, tell them all the things they like to hear about God and invite them back for coffee and cake, as they're leaving love on them with plenty huggs! and whala! LOL they never ever come back ever again! works like fly spray!

I'm a Jew!

Not an Orthodox or Hassidic, but a Reform Jew. Used to belong to a Conservative congregation, but it split when the new temple was built and half became Reform and half stayed Conservative (mostly older members) Mostly politics if you ask me.

Shalom!

Catholic should be included in the christian list. Just a aethist and non-religious should be the same.The agnostic should be for those who have no real religion but don't reject any as not true.
