Pretty simple, just check the one that applies to you.
EDIT: Yes, I know it doesn't include Muslim. It was there earlier but a couple of people were offended that I didn't include an option for Hindu. I couldn't remove any of the others because people had already picked them so I removed Muslim as that hadn't had anyone click on it and replaced it with Hindu. It's not intended as a slight, it's just that there's only 10 slots.

Native American? No. If he was a Palestinian on the other hand, that would compare accurately.

I think "presumably, not describe herself as an atheist" is wrong

I'm not an atheist. I am a Buddhist. I guess you could say I'm an agnostic Buddhist.

I'm a non-believer, but I find too many atheists too obnoxious to identify as one.
