Gaming and Religion Survey (Results)

[Sane Man]

1. 24
2. Male
3. Nondenominational Christian
4. Yes
5. Maybe (If you need yes or no answers, I'd say no, but I hate to just discount something)
6. Yes, I certainly do game.
7. Probably around 2 hours if I averaged it out.
8. Basically everything but Nintendo (hate Nintendo). PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 at the moment.
9. Strategy games mostly (Civilization being my fave), as well as RPG's, action, and horror.
10. Again, maybe. I would imagine the geographic area has a major influence, as well as family and friends. However, personally I have noticed that a lot of gamers that probably spend too much time gaming (WoW players being prime example) are atheist or atheist-leaning agnostics.

I've just been asked (like 10 seconds ago) to create a survey for an assignment so I can collect and analyse data. Rather than get up and go outside, I'd rather just ask you guys! Can you please take this 10 question survey on gaming and religion. I would very much appreciate your contribution.

As I need at least 50 people to take it, I am actually going to be going around town as well so I'm not going to be able to thank you guys just yet! But thanks in advance for those who decide to participate.
