    I'd say I'm probably a 5.5

    I would probably say I am in between a 4 and 5, but more in and around a 5, but probably more in the middle of Dawkins chart.

    There is no option, that allows me to answer properly. I might believe that there is a chance of some abstract higher power / spiritual force but it has nothing to do with the notion of God or the ridiculous battle of religions. There either is some spiritual power in this world or there isn't, I'm agnostic but I hope there is some kind of very abstract force of life behind it all - I'm hopeful otherwise it's a dull place.

    But the notion of God in Christianity, Judaism or Islam has absolutely nothing to do with my belief - at most their god is derived from this spiritual force existing, and I'm not able to answer your poll

    No, it's just that a lot of us don't want to be affiliated with a fat ogre like TheAmazingAtheist or that creepy tranny Zinnia Jones.

    1., Always was and always will be. Call me arrogant ,silly, blind or whatever but that's what I feel. I accept by faith the God as taught in the Christian Bible. I also don't have my head stuck in the sand about the way the world works with science and physics being a big part of my everyday doings. I see them all fitting together just fine.
