Tough question I fit into 3 of the groups without conflict as 2 are philosophy and one in not believing in god.

Christian-Fundamentalist, as in God/Jesus Christ follower... and a major part of this for our family,
is choosing living Open-minded as far as continually learning... new skills I/we find fascinating, especially as they relate to abstract *mind-skills*, like for example aspects of parapsychology, including 'self-healing', and natural (not drugged) mind-expansion... & development. I just value & love beneficial learning.

I try to follow, as much as I am able, the ways of my First Nations ancestors.

In a very broad sense, I am Pagan. On a very defined note, I am an Eclectic Witch.

I checked Buddhist, because that most closely reflects my worldview, but Atheist/Secular/Humanist would have been equally true, and so would Quaker if it had been offered.

I consider myself an atheist, secular humanist, Quaker Buddhist. Or an atheist, secular humanist, Buddhist Quaker. Either way. I see all of those things as compatible and complementary.

Default Other beliefs

I checked "other" because I'm not sure <sgh> .. actually I was a charismatic Presbyterian at one point in my life and have (in my own mind) comfortably extended that belief .. but can't in honesty to myself and the definition of Christianity in the mainstream churches still call my beliefs "christian".
I'm even more dedicated to the moral principles now than at any time past...that I honored as a Christian.
My research and studies haver led me to different arenas that were not made obvious to me as a church-goer.
As a classically trained scientist (BS Chemistry, USNavy training as an electronics tech, etc) .. it is not easy to throw oneself into the fray of "non-measurable" phenomena...such as "faith" , "spirit essence" and other similar ideas.
My own experience has been nothing short of shocking to my senses...I feel I now *know* that other planes of existence surround us .. my research is into finding out just how those other planes intersect and interactwith us.
I have met people, by name in my dreams and been introduced to them at a later date (for the first time) and confirmed the dreams, I have dreamt winning lottery numbers, twice, experienced an OBE during heart surgery and more similar stuff.

I checked "other" because I've never been quite sure if DWBHism is a religion, a philosophy, or a personality disorder.

I don't know right now.

What I have learned from Baha'i so far seems to be very close to my beliefs, but still got to learn more about it.
