Atheist/Agnostic.
I wasn't raised in a religious household, but both of my parents were raised as mainline Protestants (father Presbyterian and mother Methodist), and I think their backgrounds still have a strong influence on my thinking and values, so I'd go so far as to call myself a "cultural mainline Protestant".
Despite being non-religious myself, I do think organized religion is a good thing on balance (as long as its doctrines are not too rigid), because it helps people to form a community based on shared values and traditions (and I think that tradition is generally a good thing except when it actively harms someone, but I don't want to get into that debate at the moment).
Voting atheist, as I do take an interest in whether or not god(s) exist, and I tend to assume that such things do not exist in the absence of evidence I find compelling.
