This survey is completely confidential. I have no way of knowing who replied with what answers, so please answer as truthfully as possible. I have done my best to include any possible answers in this survey with out making it too complicated, but I am sure that I have left out some answers. My apologies for that.
If you are not religious or your religion has no set doctrine, for questions 5-15 please answer for the religion you were raised around. If you were not raised around any religion or the religion you were raised around does not have a set doctrine, please reply according to the decisiveness of your own beliefs. Meaning if you have a clear opinion on the topic, you would answer no conflict, and if you debate over several possible opinions, then rate the level of conflict accordingly.
If you have any questions please contact me.
