I left the the Political and Religious Views fields on my Facebook profile blank, partly because I don’t subscribe to any easily definable school and partly because they’re not really anyone’s business. But while I might be jealous of my own privacy, I have no compunction scouring other people’s profiles to see what they’ve entered. Most people enter either something conventional (“Anglican, Catholic”) or something in jest (“Ceiling Cat”), but a few have clearly tried to articulate something more unique and personal.
