Proof that you have no understanding of what atheism is.
Back to the OP, I'd probably chose to be a quaker, much more freedom to chose and less judgemental than most religions, surprisingly. This might help some of you -

On the far right, off the chart -- "Be A Fundamentalist". 
Go look in a mirror.... :24:

Wow. So instead of smarmy pat answers, why don't you tell us what your REAL choice is and why? I don't participate in debates and discussions with people just out to throw barbs. CAN you engage in discussion/debate that requires you stay on point? I challenge you to.

When the choice is deciding which religion is the true one, this is you and me, all of us actually. But the difference between you and me is I'm smart enough to know it.

I think it a show of humility as much as smarts
Oh come on Panny, no need to make excuses....
Sorry but debating doesn't go with this crowd.

Well, the OP was what we individually would choose without question, not which one is right. Personally I think it's a mark of spiritual wisdom not to think any of them right, not even your own. THAT'S humility. Theist or non, we are tiny little beings trying to grasp at the core of the universe itself, its very laws and workings, something far more vast than we can comprehend, and whether it is sentient or has designs for us within it is not the greatest leap one can take in fathoming it.

Certainly. And not just spiritual wisdom. I think the decision can be nothing greater than "best", whether that means best god given one's emotions, best conclusion given observations, etc. I also think drawing that best conclusion deserves a bit of debate and critical thinking. That's not atheist group think, that's honesty.
I think it's important to question. To me that is how a belief can be chosen.

OK, so what are yours and how'd you come about them?
I guess you are referring to me? There seems to be an umwritten rule that says if no one is mentioned in particular then you are talking to the OP. So excuse me if I answer you and you were not referring to me.
I am not fixed on any particular belief or non-belief. I have looked into religions but haven't decided. I wasn't raised any particular religion. I consider that an advantage.

@HK (well and whoever else, but it is her thread) --
Back when I first started here at Otz I posted this thread that deals with the five major questions that all religions and philosophies touch on to some extent. Thought you might find it interesting.

Thanks for clarifying and the link to your thread.
