Not asking for belief, but rather which you find most culturally and intellectually appealing.

Voted Orthodox, but for me it's a three-way split between Methodism, Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox.

Pretty much any of the non-conformist groups that built the little chapels in the small villages of the three counties hereabouts.

Sometimes there's even two or three of them per village, most built in the 2nd half of the 19th century or the Edwardian period.

Hmm.  I'd put that under Other Reformed, Methodist.  A lot of them were Wesley inspired, right?

The Brain

Lutheran, specifically as formulated in the Augsburg Confession and the Swedish Church Ordinance of 1571 and confirmed at the Convocation of Uppsala in 1593.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Rastafarian?
I wanted to include Mormonism but get a dig in at it by comparing it to Rastafarianism.

Christadelphians!  :)

There is one of those in Oro-Medonte Township, Ontario - I drive past it on the way to my parent's cottage.

An interesting question is 'which varieties of Christianity are considered Christian by which other Christian varieties?'  ;)

I voted Mormon, in part because the Mormons are very interesting, but also to annoy Spellus. :)

Basically everyone at the top (besides Gnostics) considers everyone but the crazy Americans to be Christians, and vice versa.

Oh I'm sure that's a big part of it.

What I notice looking at these chapels, they're often re-purposed as something else now, is how many are dedicated during the late 19th century agricultural depression.

I'm a Methodist, but voted Lutheran.  I've enjoyed every Lutheran church and service I've attended, they don't have a bug up their asses about using real wine in communion, and their clergy is among the best-educated.
