What are your religious beliefs (or lack of)?

Unsurprisingly, most respondents do not actively practise a religion. I separated "none" and "Atheist" due to the latter being a specific label used by individuals. I also separated Atheist, Atheist Agnostic and Agnostic for similar reasons -

41.1% identify as Atheist/Hardline Atheist
23.5% said that they had no religious or non-religious label
5.88% identify as Agnostic Atheist
5.88% identify as Agnostic
5.88% identify as Avanti
5.88% said that no label was available
5.88% identify as Spiritual
5.88% declined to answer

What is your political tendency?

This can be a controversial question, so I only grouped together people if it was obvious that they all meant the same thing - I seperated Anarchist Communists from Communist Anarchists, and Orthodox Marxists from Marxists as they specifically wrote the two words in order or included a second label to their tendency, for example -

20% said that their tendency was Anarchist Communism
15% said that their tendency was Marxism
10% said that their tendency was Communism
5% said that their tendency was Anarchism
5% said that their tendency was Trotskyism
5% said that their tendency was Nihilism
5% said that their tendency was Libertarian Communism
5% said that their tendency was Communist Anarchism
5% said that their tendency was Marxist Anarchism
5% said that their tendency was Marx über alles
5% said that their tendency was Libertarian-Vanguardist Marxism
5% said that their tendency was Ultra-left Communism
5% said that their tendency was Orthodox Marxism
5% said that their tendency was Insurrectionary Communist as fantasy, Nihilist: anarchist in praxis in reality

Do you use any other drug regularly (at least weekly?)

Whether the drug in question is something like weed, something stronger, something legal like caffeine or whether someone included prescription drugs is unknown, but a majority did not use a drug other than alcohol on a regular basis, which makes me think that most people took this question to mean drugs that are currently illegal in most countries -


56% stated that they did not use a drug other than alcohol or tobacco on a regular basis
32% stated that they did use a drug other than alcohol or tobacco on a regular basis
12% declined to answer

That concludes this year's survey. I will begin sorting out the awards results now, and will soon create two threads - a closed one for the results to be announced, and an open one for discussion of the results.
