Indeed, Orthodox Judaism has a rule which states anyone born to a Jewish mother (even an atheist) is still a Jew and in fact all the people I know who identify themselves as Jewish are atheists (admittedly that's only 3 people though).
Which is a weird rule, because it then means that I'm a Christian Jew.

I find it interesting that there are so many atheists on Wowhead; has atheism become so much more common or is it limited to Wowhead and video-game forums in general?

It's the age demographic. Most young people, especially those in college, don't believe in god. And this isn't because they're smarter or more educated, like being an atheist is the only intelligent choice, there are incredibly smart and educated people on both sides, it's just because the majority of higher education is run by more liberal and secular professors who have a natural influence over their students.Riiiiiight...
I live in Texas, broham.
I got where I am religiously on my own.
Don't make generalizations.

You will probably get zero Hindus, because as I understand it, you have to be born into Hinduism. You cannot convert. So unless someone in India is reading wowhead, your chances to find one here are slim.
Your generalization, wrong it be
, seriously, learn about the religion before you spout okay?

I think you should add Mormon to the poll, as well as christian - protestant other/non-denominational. I know a lot of Unitarians who would label themselves Christian- other, but their beliefs are a 180 from a traditional protestant. And most protestants I know these days don't affiliate themselves with any denomination so they would pick other as well. Also Mormons were recently the fastest growing religion in the U.S.
I'm Mormon, and I already mentioned this to HsR ;) As it is, Christianity - Other would suffice.

BTW, Would've been easier if you listed Protestant since that covers Anglican, Baptist, and Lutheran. Also people who are Evangelical, Pentecostal, and Presbyterian can voted under it as well.
Anglicans aren't technically Protestant.

Really, Anglicanism is basically just Catholicism that you can get divorced in, iirc (after all, that's why Henry VIII started it).

Uh, no.
Luther
anism is just one branch of Protestantism.
Calvin
ism is another.
Protestantism is a group defined by certain beliefs, just like Catholicism. Anglicanism falls in between the two, and thus is mostly considered as a separate grouping unless referring to specifically the High Church (which tends to be more Catholic in nature) or the Low Church (which tends to be more Protestant).
Really, Anglicanism is basically just Catholicism that you can get divorced in, iirc (after all, that's why Henry VIII started it).
Again...no.

Again...no.Ah, my mistake. I was Messianic Jewish, after all, and I never really did much research into modern denominations of Christianity. Just its history.
I was going off of my knowledge that Luther started the Reformation and thus Protestantism, and that England was Catholic until Henry VIII decided he wanted a divorce and started the Church of England.
