Are you Religious?

What kind of a poll is this, listing only christianity and buddhism as religions, with all the rest falling into "other"? Just another one with quite predictable results. With these choices it is clear that the "other" category will be the largest. Interesting idea to make this poll, but with these limited choices it won't tell you much, I'm afraid.

I have studied judaism, christianity, islam, buddhism, hinduism, taoism, konfucianism, zen, shinto, and many other belief systems that aren't 'religious.' So naturally, I'm not religious [as it becomes apparent that any religious institution is quite unnecessary and puts something between you and god, rather than getting you closer], and I'm not an atheist. Looks like I'm an "Other."
