I have some elements of Christianity, some of Wicca/Druidism, Taoism, Animism, and Pantheism.
I wrote my own scripture.

Self knowledge is the the only rational path to
an irrational God. Anything else is imagination-land.

Can't brain. Has dumb.
Another "other" here. I take whatever I find that makes sense to me, put it in a blender, and spit out a worldview that is unlike any other. I hope it's as close to reality as I can make it...

I chose Christianity. I also am interested in Buddhism as a philosophy for daily living, and also am interested in Zoroastrianism. I am trying to figure out if it is a precursor to the Abrahamic religions.

Statistically there is an incredible amount of atheists/agnostics on RF.

Nope, the basic precepts are too different

Oh, really? Well, I need to learn more. I'm just starting out. Thanks!
I voted Buddhist; although I take inspiration from many faiths and philosophies, and I go to a Unitarian Universalist church.
I also have an interest in Judaism.

I chose Unitarian Universalist. I support tolerance of any belief system that allows someone to be happy amd moral. I also want to go to a UU church someday.
As for my personal beliefs, for now I'm a metaphysical naturalist, but I'm leaning toward a kind of irreligious theism. Perhaps polytheism, since it's hard for me to imagine that the only god in existence would be loving.

Oh phew. I thought the beliefs I was leaning to were weird and random. But it looks like many others have a combo / unique system. 
I voted Hinduism because I am primarily, but I've taken elements of Mahayana Buddhism, Taoism, even core Christianity (aka 'Jesuism') into my beliefs.

The Calyr faith basically accepts the fact that all religions sprung from the same well, and that each culture modified religion to suit their own needs. After thousands of years, nearly everyone still retains some basic truths, but all religions have a great deal of myth as well. Calyr accept that no one religion, including their own, has the "right" idea, and that by studying several religions, you may come up with your own unique faith. That is the Calyr way, and that is my path.

Interesting. I expected the Christians to be in the minority for some reason even though they are the majority in the world. The problem, of course, is there is so much variety among Christianity.

Non-Denominational Theism was my choice. I am not fond of labels really. I am sort of a Muslim and a Hindu although perhaps a little more Muslim.
I am not a fervent believer in holy books or taking them word for word like law books. I read the Quran and Shiva-rahasya Purana in relation to oneself and god not in relation to oneself and mankind.
I am heterodox, deistic, and enjoy spiritual metaphysics as well.

My beliefs are back at agnosticism / atheism / metaphysical naturalism. I realized I wanted to believe in something beyond because...I wanted to. It sounded cool to believe in a divine force (one among many) who cared about me...as well as an afterlife where I can chill with my loved ones again. But facts are facts regardless if you want them to be true or not.
I chose "Christianity", though I usually put my religious affiliation as Catholic rather than Christian. I have an interest in every religion, particularly in the mysticism - integral, human experience with the Absolute - which I see to be at work in every faith and culture. I attribute this, through my Catholic worldview, to the active & universal work of the Holy Spirit outside the walls of the Catholic Church guiding all humankind towards the Truth.
