what would you identify as?

what would you identify as?
1-7, where do you stand?

When you answer, could you also put down if you're an athiest, christian, etc? Example: "6, athiest"
After gathering enough information I'll explain why I'm curious as to what you all think. Thanks, and God bless! :3

1: strong theist. 100% probability of God
2: very strong possibility, but short of 100%
3: higher than 50% but not very high
4: 50% completely agnostic
5: lower than 50% but not very low
6: very low probability but not 0%
7: strong atheist. 'I know there is no god'-0%

EDIT: apparently a lot of you didn't like the fact I didn't introduce myself first, and the reason why I didn't is because I was in an argument with my brother about atheists and Richard Dawkins book "The GOD Delusion". In his book he says that on this list he's met hardly anyone who would identify as a 7. Even Dawkins himself says he's a 6, leaning towards atheism. The argument ended up being whether or not the majority of atheists would identify as 6, or 7. I believe(d) the majority would say 7. My brother on the other hand said 6. So I was just trying to gather the information as quickly as possible. I couldn't find anything online so I created my own thread. I'll make a post in the introduction section when my phone is charged.


Thanks for all the replies!

Why not explain it first? It's called courtesy. I'm not barging into your hangout either asking you straight away why you're a mormon.

RE: what would you identify as?
Hello and welcome! Why don't you post a thread in the Introduction forum so we can all get to know you? We'll bring biscuits!

Also, my views are:
against omnimax deities: 7 gnostic atheist (they fall in the realm of logical paradoxes)

against other deities: 6.9999

against pantheist claims: 6
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

I'm not explaining first because I believe people will lie to make what ever they believe to be true in studies. This goes for all people.

Yeah, as you said. This goes for all people. Not that my views would be a big secret. If you browse the board you will find them laid out just fine. I just find your attitude inpolite and provocative.

Why not introduce yourself in the proper channel first?

RE: what would you identify as?
When you ask a vague question without context, you might end up getting totally wrong answers. Anyway we are mostly all 6 or 7 depending on the definition of god. Apart from that we have the "religious view" thing under our usernames, that might help your survey.

Oh and welcome to the board.

I'm just trying to figure out what people believe. If I came off as inpolite, or provocative I apologize.
