I would die before being forced to change my religion.

However if I was not Christian I would likely be Buddhist or Agnostic.

If I did not have devine faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I would not have faith in any God. I would continue to use science as a major factor in my beliefs and as such their is no other God I believe can't be scientifically disproven. At least none I'd believe in. However I would still believe a God could exist. Logically it would be utter foolishness to completely right off the existance of a God, and if I lacked faith and belief in Jesus I would probably also lack faith a God for sure existed. Meaning I would be agnostic not believing that I know for certain whether God exists or does not exist.

Also I admire many of the teachings of Buddha and many Buddhist leaders. Not the idol worshiping buddhist sects. But going by the teachings of how to treat others, karma and such. Since I believe in treated everyone with dignity respect and love buddhism would be my choice of belief if I did not believe in Jesus.

Why wouldn't I believe in Judiasm or Islam? Simple because if I didn't believe in Jesus chances are I wouldn't believe in the God of Abraham as I see the two as one and the same. As such I wouldn't believe in the Torrah or old testiment. Also Islam would share the same fate as I wouldn't believe in the God of Abraham. But I also disagree with the Hadiths or what ever they are called and I disagree with the treatment of infidels and in some cases women in the Islamic faith whether in the Quran or Islamic Community and culture.

But as I stressed earlier. Nobody could force me to change my religious beliefs. You could torture me, and gun me down but I don't believe I would ever genuinely give up my faith and belief in Christ. Even if after torture and threat of death I denied Christ (God forbid) I would still in my heart and with my whole soul still believe.

I think your poll lacks this option. It asks if you were forced, it should rather ask if you didn't believe in your religion which other faith would you align yourself with! Because I'm guessing many religious people and even athiests couldn't be forced to change their religion, most of us would die sooner then change our religious beliefs!
