i am just posting so that we get more responses, i am very interested in the results

Atheist, libertarian and apolitical!

Yeah it's "Atheist," not "Atheistic." :p

I fall somewhere between libertarian and leftist. A free market is a fine ideal, however I believe a certain infrastructure is extremely important when it comes to the poor and working class.

Though I am greatly prone to spelling and grammar mistakes, I'm note sure I made one here.

"Religious," "spiritual" and "agnostic" are all adjectives and nouns. So, going with the adjective "atheistic", instead of the noun "atheist," is still consistent with the other religious options.

In all honesty, since I was rushing, I probably wrote "atheistic" because it sounds like "agnostic."

Either way, I appreciate the comments and participating in the poll.

:)

Since some are sharing their choices publicly, I will play along:

I am spiritual (though I greatly respect the religious), conservative and libertarian.

I see. I was thrown off - you're right!

To be fair, your criticism could apply to the last label, which should be "anarchistic." However, since they don't believe in any rules, they have no right to complain. ;)

For those who choose "libertarian" I would love to know if they lean left or right. In the U.S.A. libertarians are usually associated with the Republican Party, but I wonder if that is the case in the rest of the world?

I'm a leftist atheist. Or an atheist leftist.;-)

I would probably lean a bit toward the right but I don't really like the tradition left/right distinction. It always depends on the matter at hand.

Obviously defining all religious and political beliefs down into 9 labels is going to engage in massive over simplification. Personally, I like the conservative (tradition), liberal (freedom) and leftist (equality) distinction better than just right and left.

I liked your oversimplification

Thank you! It is a gift. :p

I don’t affiliate myself with any organized religion, but I am interested in spirituality and the metaphysical.
This makes life more interesting to my mind because it’s a little boring to live in a dry atheistic world where there are no mysteries and wonders, and everything is explained (not). I like that people are attending the churches all over the country, and you can talk to them from time to time about religion and stuff. Still, I personally don’t feel like becoming a part of this mechanism. Maybe one day, but I am not sure about that. There’s too much hypocrisy about big organized churches, but it’s only my opinion.

I'm Christian. I don't really follow a particular political party.

Used to be an athiest and then found that they are, mostly, puritans/Calvinists (believing in "work ethic" and an elect that is based on perceived intelligence/usefulness). I found that Christian leftists (mostly) believed truly in the worth of all individuals and extended love without judgement. I am nit worthy of love, but given it. We are to enjoy the beauty and experiences of the world with concern that everyone may enjoy the beauty and experiences of the world without judgement. Also why I am a far leftist. Jesus says "See the flowers of the field. They do not toil or spin". Yup.
