For religion, I have "Pagan, with Judaic-Christian tinges." Of course, that's about a year old, and I've since changed my tune, just haven't gotten around to editing that.
As for polictical affiliation, I left that empty. I simply don't care about what party a candidates from. When I'm getting ready to vote, I research each candidates record of voting, if they tried to introduce a bill in front of Congress what that bill entailed, if they haven't, what issues/bills did they openly support, etc.
