Agnostic.
And would I want the whole country to join my faith?
Yes and no.
I want people to have the ability to question as I do, but I also want people to make up their own minds about things and not just blindly follow something that does not mean anything to them.

Well I would like everyone to join, because I want everyone to experience the love of Christ. But at the same time scripture talks about a remnant church being the church of the last days. I'm a firm believer that these are the last days, so I really would avoid being involved in the Faith that the whole country is following, that would hardly be a remnant(remains) of a church.

I am a Pagan and a Ceremonial Magician. My path is not for everyone. Each person has their own path to walk, their own way to the Divine. It makes my skin crawl when I see so many people who would honestly want to convert the rest of the country to their religion. Religion and Spirituality are choices, very special and sacred choices. Converting everyone to the same religion -- no matter how cool that religion may be -- would take that choice away, and render that faith meaningless. Do you love your Gods because you want to, or because you have to? Do you enjoy the freedom you have in America (assuming that's where you are) to think, believe, and worship as you will? Do you want to continue to have that freedom? The trade-off is that you must extend the freedoms you enjoy to every other person. If you are Christian, it is your right to be Christian, and I will defend it to the death. But it is my right not to be Christian. The same goes for Islam. I support the right of Muslims to be Muslim, as I hope they would support my right not to be Muslim. And for any other religion. I am Pagan. I fully support your right not to be Pagan. I ask only the same courtesy from you. It's all about respecting other people, and doing unto others as you would have others do unto you.

I am a Christian. I would like to have the whole country join my faith.
If you have read the book of Revalation in the Bible, you would know that God will rapture all of the Christians up into the sky with Him and there will 7years of tribulation on Earth.
Then we will all come back and have a big battle and God and His people will win and there will be a whole bunch of cleaning up to do and we will start a new world.
That's that in a nutshell but you should go and read the book (its at the back of the Bible) to learn more about it.

I'm a Unitarian.
The whole country has the right to be of any faith they choose, or none at all.
I do wish, however, that people would act on the good teachings of whatever their faith is. Lip service seems to be the only real requirement for many.

Well I was born into the christian church but im not born again and dont practice christianitly.
I do however have my OWN religion which is Wiccan. Anyone whose interested in it i would definatly say YES and i will always do my best to guide them on the right path.
I would also say NO as some people would use wiccan and magic for bad purposes or become out of control which certainly wouldn't be a good idea.

I am Buddhist. No I would not like to see the whole country become Buddhist. I enjoy diversity. However, no matter what their faith I believe people would gain huge amounts of peace and knowledge from learning about Buddhist beliefs and values.

Well, I'm Wiccan. I don't really think I would like it if everyone in the whole country became Wiccan because everyone would be the same. Sure, it would be nice to find some people in my area who were Wiccan and not crazy but I wouldn't want everyone to be Wiccan.

I'm saved by the Grace of God. And while I'd like to see everyone saved. I don't want a country full of "Christians." We need checks and balances, otherwise we (Christians) go crazy and start burning "witches" and fighting to "reclaim" the Holy Land. And you can say goodbye to that whole "freedom of religion" thing. That's my two cents.
