Do you believe that at least one deity exists?

 * 1) Yes. = Theism
 * 2) No. = Explicit atheism ("Atheism" using narrower def. of "atheism")
 * 3) Undecided. = Agnosticism
 * 4) I don't care. = Apatheism
 * 5) What's a deity? / Goo goo gaa gaa? / Meow? = Implicit atheism (General "Nontheism" using narrower definition of "atheism")

Is it possible that deities exist/don't exist?
* Do not confuse the philosophical "open theism" stance with the Open Theism movement.

How sure can we be that deities do or don't exist?
* Gnosticism is being used here as the opposite of agnosticism, and should not be confused with the religion Gnosticism.

How important is the question of whether deities exist?

 * 1) Vitally important. = Full Non-Apatheism (Patheism)
 * 2) Fairly important. = Partial Non-Apatheism (Patheism)
 * 3) Not especially important. = Partial Apatheism
 * 4) Completely irrelevant. = Full Apatheism

How meaningful is the question of whether deities exist?

 * 2) Somewhat meaningful. = Partial Non-Ignosticism
 * 3) Barely meaningful. = Partial Ignosticism
 * 4) Totally meaningless and nonsensical. = Full Ignosticism
 * 5) Should be meaningless, but has been defined and is therefore somewhat meaningful. = Idealist Ignosticism
