<p>Starchild, thanks for the observations and suggestions.</p>
<p>Click-tracking is a widely used practice to help measure the
effectiveness of emails. I don't plan to stop our use of it.
Others can debate the pros and cons of the practice. If the LNC
wants us to stop, I'll abide.</p>
<p>I prefer the way I lumped all the Christian options at the top so
you can kind of add them up quickly.</p>
<p>I was somewhat closely mirroring the sorting used at this
wikipedia article:</p>

Population</b></p>
<p>There are probably many thousand religions across the world and
U.S. <br>
</p>
<p>I included several that Libertarians requested in the past that
were not included in a previous survey, but I did not choose
Transhumanist. It did cross my mind, but I figured we had enough
details for this unscientific survey.</p>
<p>It's not easy to make a list of the top religions, because things
like denominations and the difference between a religion and a
denomination make it complicated, not to mention the feedback
along the lines that "government is a religion" and
"environmentalism is a religion. <br>
</p>
<p>NOTA got 3%, so I think we covered most people's choices. </p>
<p>Take care,</p>

<div>Hi Wes,</div>

<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>When
I attempted to click through from today's Libertarian email to
the poll on religion, I got an error page indicating there was a
tracker being used:</div>

<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>What
type of tracking are these emails employing? I do not think we
should be tracking people's clicks without their consent.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>On
the poll itself (I went directly to <a href="http://LP.org"
moz-do-not-send="true">LP.org</a> and found it there at <a
href="https://www.lp.org/what-religion-are-libertarians/"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.lp.org/what-religion-are-libertarians/</a>),
I have a recommendation for an additional response category – <b>Transhumanist</b>. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>This
may not ultimately be the most precise term for my own religious
views, which also encompass non-aggression and
decentralism/individualism, but as a "none of the above"
respondent, I feel it would fit me better than any of the terms
currently listed, and suspect there may be a few others who feel
similarly. For anyone curious about the religious aspects of
transhumanism, this page has some good material:</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Finally,
I would also urge that the poll response choices be listed in
alphabetical order (with the exception of leaving "Decline to
state" and "None of the above" at the bottom), rather than all
the Christian options being listed first.</div>
