Just a quick and radically unscientific poll to satisfy my idle curiosity. I didn't include a "neither positive nor negative" option because screw that. Take your fence-sitting ass back to CFC if you don't want to take a vigorous, cantankerous stance on the issue. If you absolutely must hem and haw, I've included a banana option.
To be clear, I'm asking, "When you think of humanity, do you think more of positive things (creativity, cooperation, the arts and sciences, historical progress, enlightenment) or negative things (greed, cruelty, depravity, small-mindedness, xenophobia)?" This poll does not concern itself with degrees of positivity/negativity; pick whichever dominates your perception of our species, by whatever amount. I leave "religious" or "not religious" to self-identification. If you're "spiritual but not religious," I'd call that religious for my purposes, but go with whatever grouping catches your fancy. Thanks!
