My main is a Demonology Warlock and my alts are almost all healing priests who moonlight as shadow. I'm an atheist who loves classical music and middle aged psychology major ;)

It says you believe in 'good' in general. Don't have to be religious for that.

means you're a godless blood elf paladin more than likely.
I'm blunt and straightforward, fury warrior.

It's certainly an interesting topic for discussion. Many paladins in game are douches. And that is coming from someone who has a paladin tank as my main. I wish Paladins had a bonus rep that they gained or lost depending on their actions in game. most notably losing it for attacking opposite faction lowbies or NPC's. To say your class has anything to do with your real life persona is arbitrary at best.

Add another atheist paladin to the list.
On one had I really like the premise of the article, although I would comment that it's not the religious aspect that would be center front with paladins. It would be the desire to do good, do things the right way, and be helpful.
On the other hand, this is of course simply an exercise in astrology.
Pure psychology.
Everyone has an aspect of everything in them, and will be able to associate themselves with anything, if the description is worded the right way.
It's still amusing how obvious some of the choices seem to be, though :)

My fiance is also an atheist paladin, and I think he likes it because he gets sort of a weird thrill out of the idea of an atheist paladin as a character.

In character my human female paladin is as nonreligious as can be. Rude, arrogant, condescending. She's also a lesbian, and doesn't like the stiffs who are in charge of the various Argent organisations.
As for me, I'm Atheist, more or less. But I play a lot of class. Only ones I haven't played are mage and priest. Not sure what says about me besides that I'm not adept at clothies. I think the personalities I develop for my characters shows more how I am (which I don't always do to RP. Just I like storytelling)
I think what defines me the most is the fact I like tanking. Generally speaking, tanks come off as more protective and have leadership qualities. Healers like to help others and save them, and rarely do things for their own benefit. DPS act on their own and depend on tanks and healers to do great things.
Of course, having said this, in the later hours of Wrath's life, we've seen this throw out the window and now tanks are prima donnas, healers are bitchy and DPS idiots who think they don't need any help from no one.

I'm an athiest Troll Fire Mage, Boomkin/Tree Druid, Belf Tankadin, Belf DK, Tauren BM Hunter and two Belf priests Disc/Holy/Shadow.
This seems to suggest multiple personality disorder.
Or perhaps it says more about me that I'm Horde ;-)

My main is a healing priest. I am also an atheist.
I also don't play gnomes, the most atheistic race.
To REALLY understand correlations between personality and classes, I would eschew any religious connotations.
I WOULD recommend taking a look at the different forum postings for posts relating to specific classes. i.e.:
Priest: "in my opinion, this spec is particularly... Etc"
Rogue: "OMG WTF UR sUCh A NUB"
These aren't actually quotes but I think you will all find these to be typical.

I play Paladin because I don't like depending on others.
I can heal if needed, I can tank if needed, I can dps if needed and I can solo almost anything.
I have an 80 of every other classes, but my pally was my first and I always come back to it.

Atheist healing priest here. I like helping people. You don't need to buy into religion to feel that way.
