On one end of the scale there are those who are aggressive non-believers. On the other end there are those who are aggressively religious. If the former are 100 on the left end of the scale and the latter are 100 on the right, where are you on this scale?

I would be almost directly in the middle of the scale. I am very open minded and slow to agree wholeheartedly on anything till i have seen proof that what i believe in is right.

i'm picturing this in my head: 100 aggressive religious | | | | | | | | 50 non aggressive religious | | | | | | | | 0 non aggressive agnostic | | | | | | | | -50 non aggressive non religious | | | | | | | | -100 aggressive non religious so i'm guessing a 50 non aggressive religious?
-
Maybe 60 I believe and I practise my Religion but I do not try to push my views on others and I am not a fanatic.

I choose not to participate, so I'm off the scale. Not that I'm non-religious, just not interested that much in establishments. I don't know all that much about them, so getting involved in either is potentially a decision taken in ignorance. What I do know about is history, and I am very well aware that all religions (including that of non-religion, which happens to be a belief system just like the others) have been used to manipulate individuals and society across the centuries. It still happens today, and will probably continue to happen. I won't be manipulated like that, so I stand outside. It seems to me to be the only way to maintain any level of personal honesty, the only way to know I'm acting because of what I believe rather than what I'm told.

0 I am not religious, but I do respect those who are. As of now I don't believe in God, but I know there is a possibility that a God or gods exist. Nothing's 100%
-
I'd say about a 50 religious. I do not go out preaching, and honestly, I am not even much of a teacher when people aproach me, I answer questions and if they want more I will direct them to those more knowledgable than myself. however my beliefs are far from hidden.

Other than Madalyn Murray O'Hair I don't know any "aggressive non-believers." How can you aggressively not-believe in something? I don't believe in unicorns or leprechauns, but I haven't started a church to preach that they don't exist. Same with angels, devils, fairies, elves, ghosts, gods, and goblins. How can I 'aggressively' not believe in them? I haven't seen any of these supernatural entities and so I don't believe they exist. Does that sound aggressive?
-
As a determined agnostic and as one who rarely, if ever makes any decisions I would have to place myself at 50. (most likely, I think, maybe)
-
I'd be at zero on such a bell curve. I've studied each of the great religions and have concluded that I know that I don't know. Agnostic.
