 The Great, Almighty Shroomery Religion Poll - Revised

NOW EVEN MIGHTIER THAN BEFORE
Parent categories are in CAPS LOCK, listed by population, with subcategories also listed by population. You may choose two options, although one should suffice for the majority of people. There are 80 options, so I'm hoping this will be adequate for most people.
I'm checking both CHRISTIAN - LDS, and SECULAR - athiest, since both can be used to describe me.
Clarifications are encouraged

Damn, I thought you said Christian - LSD for a moment.
You know, just a little bit of a different take on communion, eh?

 Great poll.
What about Christology, Islamism and Shamanity?
If I had to be one I'd be Discordian, i.e. Other...

It's hard to beleive that someone could defy all of those categories 
I'd call Christology a theology and not a religion, Islamism is more of a political ideology, and I'm not exactly sure what Shamanity is, someone who is a shaman perhaps (ie humanity)?
Now as for Discordianism, I have to say I would have classified that under "NEOPAGANISM - other neopaganism" for their loose reconstruction of Greek mythology through the worship of the god of discord, Eris; although I'm not sure if this would somehow offend its followers. It's close to a legit "OTHER" though.

Sorry, I guess you're right.
But what about Western Hermeticism, Sufism, Theosophy, Rosicrucianism, Masonry, OTO, Chaos Magick, etc.?
I really like Gnosticism. I once went to the hospital and said "Gnostic" when the lady asked my religion.
She smirked and put "Agnostic" on my wristband. Why is Gnostic not even an option when Agnostic is so popular?

Western Hermeticism, Rosicrucianism, OTO and Chaos Magick would seem to fall under Neopaganism - other, since its a blanket term that also includes everything occult and new age as well.
Sufism is probably Islam - other, although its a stretch.
Theosophy could be Hinduism - other, also a stretch.
I would hesitate to call Masonry a religion at all.

I totally disagree with that, there's a huge difference between Occultism, Paganism, and New Age foo-foo.

Oh, yeah you're right.

All religions contain elements of the previous ones, all it takes are new additions to create a new mythology.
Quote:

It's more religious than most religions, it's blatant Astrotheology, ancient Egyptian style.
I don't mean to nitpick, there's even an Digambar option so I thought you were trying to list as many reality tunnels as possible.
Thanks for reminding me that some religions are actually quite awesome:
The modern Jainism is generally divided into two traditions, Digambar and Svetambar. Generally Digambar monks wear no clothes (dig ambar = sky clad), Svetambar (swet ambar = white clad) monks usually wear white clothes.
Until the leadership of Acharya Bhadrabahu, there was no significant division. After that some divisions gradually arose. Senior Digambar monks wear no clothes, following the practice of Lord Mahavira. They do not consider themselves to be nude -- they are wearing the environment or stated differently the quintessential, akasha or space. Digambaras believe that this practice represents a refusal to give in to the body's demands for comfort and private property -- only Digambara ascetics are required to forsake clothing. Digambara ascetics have only two possessions: a peacock feather broom and a water gourd.

If I lived in a part of the world where it was socially acceptable, I'd be tempted to join the Dismabar sect of Jainism (for their beleifs towards animals mostly, not the whole nude thing, although I wouldn't mind that either).
I made an initial move to start including more religions along that line of thought, but I realized I'd be adding at least a hundred more, along that vein alone.
Everyone on this list has at least 100,000 followers, so I did get the semi-major ones down.

I saw a stat saying 5% of Jainists were Digambaras and wiki says there are 10-12 million Jainists, so that's a good 500-600k.

I said Shamanism because I am trying to formulate my own religious experiences and spirituality from my own experiences with entheogens, so my own breed of shamanism!
--------------------
"A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'Universe'; a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty.
Nobody is able to achieve this completely but striving for such achievement is, in itself, a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security."
Albert Einstein

I'm an 'adrugist'. How come that isn't on the list? It should be, because I just made it up which makes it just as valid as any of the other options.
