I think this is a good idea - as I'd be interested to see how things shake out as t'were.

I think "Other" will be a rather popular option here - though if you couple this with asking 'Downers to 'please explain', the thread might end up with some extremely long posts!

Under option 5 you might also get quite a lot of variants. Indeed, some Christians might tick 'other', especially if they are Unitarian or Mormon. And then again, Universalist Unitarians might wish to tick 'all of the above'.

British 'Downers might remember the controversy over the last census which asked people to indicate their religion. Not all choices were covered understandably as the form would have been ridiculously long, but some people were very vocal about the option 'Jedi Knight' not being available.
