I agree, but that is our Culture for you, everything needs to have a nice tag on it, so it can be slotted into the right pidgeon hole.

I call myself a 'Follower of Christ' but that is only half the story; but I guess it does allow me to fit in to some recognizable genre.

Well I'm an Orthodox Christian (member of the Holy Orthodox Catholic Church, specifically the Church of Romania). I'm intrigued by the Filipino Orthodox Church someone mentioned. I am pretty sure that the Filipinos are overwhelmingly Roman Catholic and have never heard of any Orthodox presence in the Philipines. There is certainly no church within the Orthodox communion by such a name so it sounds likely to be some sort of vagante group, but I may be wrong (given that you don't remember the exact name). If it were an Orthodox church, however, there would be no requirement for someone to convert in order to marry (so long as they are a baptised Christian) and certainly no requirement to actively participate in the Church, so it really doesn't sound Orthodox to me at all as described.

Curious results. I noticed the other poll too.

Thought about saying something about the difference between an established religion and a set of beliefs, but given the results of the poll(s) I might annoy the majority of people here and I'm terribly careful not to do that.

So, christians and freaks rule the roost eh?

I voted other. I call myself a Taoist Vigil. Which includes Taoism, Buddhism (most sects), Shamanism, Animism, Shinto, Paganism, Christianity (mostly Catholicism), Romani, and a bit of skepticism in there as well. I'm sure I forgot some parts. But I'm just a big melting pot I suppose.

I believe in God and Jesus christ, but i do not fit into any religious faith because of the limits that are put into each religion, so whenever i'm asked what religion i am, i'll reply with, i'm not i'm just a follow believer of christ.
