That's the bad side of all optiongroup type questions - they often don't include any answers that you'd like. I've even had a case where I wished there was a "N/A" option, because the questions weren't applicable to me at all. Luckily, the questionnaire was internal (staff only) and I told the lady who designed it that I just skipped any religion-based and spectator sports questions that were there.
