This is probably a nitpicky, overly-sensitive and ridiculous distinction, but as a fellow paganish sort, I prefer the phrase "somewhat other than a Catholic", to "somewhat less than a Catholic".
Well, that would be because I do consider Catholocism to be among one of my religious influences, so I consider myself very slightly partially Catholic. However, I am not an entire Catholic; therefore, I am somewhat less than Catholic.
Ahem.
Yeesh. I need to get a life, apparently. :)
