Hail Satan?
Added Satanists.
From 2004:
The British Armed Forces has officially recognised its first registered Satanist, a newspaper reports.

Naval technician Chris Cranmer, 24, has been allowed to register by the captain of HMS Cumberland, based at Devonport Naval Base in Plymouth.

The move will mean that he will now be allowed to perform Satanic rituals on board the vessel.

After a bit of a look at Wikipedia, 'agnostic theism' seems to be the label I fit under.
Should I choose "non-religious theist", then?
Presumably

Too much syncretism, don't bother. A boardgame is a better hobby :v

Roman Catholic. As it stands we're pretty hard up for numbers, hehe.

So far the results show a shocking trend towards atheism and agnosticism.

I consider myself a christian, though I have heavy spiritist/kardecist influences, so I ticked "any other religion".

You're missing Shamanism, Tengriism, Shinto, and a more diverse lineup of Buddhists (Theravada/Mahayana/Tantric or Vajrayana would be enough, but just "Buddhism" is a bit bare).

Not that I think anyone would poll for any of these, but still. Maybe change "Pagan" to "Neopaganism" as well. No clue what either of those really mean, and I don't think the practitioners do either, but it makes more sense.

Paganism fell off, like, a LOT between when it was widely practiced to the modern times.  I'm not sure if any of them ever hit literally zero worshipers but I wouldn't be suprised.  So modern Pagans can be thought of as essentially a separate religion that believes the same general things that the original Pagans did, thus Neopagans.

It would be like in a few thousand years .001% of the world's population is Christian and then some people from formerly majority Christian nations picked up some antique bibles and decided they wanted to be Christian now.

I belive in Imperial Truth, aka Humanity Fuck Yeah. What do I pick?

The Imperial Creed. If LW would be so good to add it.
Imperial Creed =/= Imperial Truth. Imperial Creed is about how Emperor is awesome and how we suck because he is now stuck on his Golden Toilet and Imperial Truth is about how humanity is awesome, there is no gods, etc.
Close enough I suppose.
