I've been feeling cleaner since giving up religion.

OK, so dirtier while in the church. Makes me wish I was Warren Cuccurullo!

Given that there are about 40.000 different christian denominations, you probably forgot a lot more. Not to speak about muslims, their different sects and jews, again coming in different flavors. As far as I know we don't have Hindu or Buddhist.

Can't catch them all, since it would make a list exploding the bandwith.

Former Catholic here. I didn't notice how corrupt the church was until after I left it.

That's common, unfortunately.

I didn't want to have multiple choice because I want people to choose what best fit. Then I can determine the percentages of respondents in each category. My hypothesis was that most AF atheists were either RC or Evangelical. However, for now, the data suggests otherwise.

As a former Pentecostal I voted under Evangelical...made the most sense.

Any conclusions you expect to reach from your fact gathering?

I left because it was fucking stupid.  I didn't know how corrupt it was until the last 20 years or so.
