Another Free-will poll, please bear with me!
I realize there are more than 3 options, and please do explain if you select other. I also realize this probably get's brought up about every 3 months or so.  I'm doing it because I'm serious curious how much of the forum proscribes to which belief on this matter.

My guess is that atheists are much more likely to be determinists than most western religious people, and that very few if any of the religious will select that option.  I think compatibilism or some version of it will be the most common, but that there will be more determinist here than some of the religious folk might think.

This poll stems from the fact someone just called me an "outlier" and "unbalanced" for holding a deterministic worldview  Now weather you agree with determinism or not, my point with this poll is to show that the "outlier" is actually Libertarian Free-Will, even amongst religious folk.


But I'd like to see what the percentages are, I could be totally wrong.

Edit: haha, I figured it out!

Sorry, figured out how to make the actual poll. Derp!
