A serious question. I believe all of these options have been put forth by others and cases have been made for many of the options.

If it's serious, then why isn't Rastafarian in there?

This poll actually depresses me. If you idiots are more informed than the general population, we're doomed.

I put gnostic. I have never got the feeling that Obama is especially spiritual or religious. Obviously he claims Christian, but I took the liberty of applying the question to what do I think he really believes.

What is Liberation? Why is that and Luciferian on the poll, but not Hindi or Buddhism? What is up with this poll?
Also, I can't vote. I think he's a shape-shifting lizard-man.

Is stupefyingly naive and egotistical a religion? If it is I am voting for that.

I wanted to vote Jewish. He is obviously part of the Jewish conspiracy to control the world.

Every informed person knows he is an elder of Zion.

Gnostic - Does not subscribe to a belief in God but does not deny the possibility of a supernal power.
Deist - Believes that a supernal power created the universe and that the universe is subsequently self maintained. Common analogy is that God is like a clock maker. Once the clock is made, it ticks and his work is done.

The way I understand them, they are both umbrella terms that simply mean that you believe in a god. People with the belief you described have often been described as Deists because there isn't really another term (other than gnostic). Perhaps I'm wrong, but I don't think so.

isn't Liberation some kind result after a certain struggle for freedom? I'm pretty sure that's not a religion.

Liberation theology is the Church Obama sat in for 20 years. You get a lot of white devils, collective salvation, social justice, and god damn Americas there.
Luciferian, simple. A lot of people have called him the anti-christ...

I demand shape-shifting lizard-man to be inserted up there. There's now two claims for it, and our evidence is just as strong as over 50% of the total choices.

No, because the gnostics were a group who said that the physical or material was evil and the spirit was good. Only those who could free themselves of the material could obtain the gnosis or true knowledge. They didn't believe in a physical resurrection of the body and tried to suppress the needs of the body as much as possible.
An agnostic would be someone who doesn't necessarily believe in God's existence, but doesn't rule it out entirely since they can't know all things.
