Took the quiz, and my 100% one was Unitarian Universalism, so I clicked the little link to check it out and it sound just right. 3nodding

25. Seventh Day Adventist (28%)
26. Eastern Orthodox (22%)
27. Roman Catholic (22%)

I was mostly unsurprised by my responses. There were two aspects that gave me moment for surprise:

- Roman Catholic, my original religion, is at the botton of the list. It seems that I have grown so far from my original beliefs that they have fallen to be bottom of the list. Odd...considering I respect and cheerish some aspects of that religion, despite the less endearing traits.

- I am only three steps from a Liberal Protestant. This is perhaps a merging of my Catholic upbringing with my more Unitarian-Pagan nature. I've discovered that I share many of the same ideas of God and the universe as Protestants do, and I feel closest to Protestants when I ponder the Christian religions. I find this to be an interesting revealation.

so many people score high on Unitarian, you'd think that we sould be swamped with their churches (meeting houese?) by now.

but that obviously hasn't happened.

instead, what is growing are these nondenominational churches with homne study groups, prayer groups, long services, and shoeless dancing.

why is that, do you suppose?

I think people score high with cetain non-demoninational groups like the unitarians because, the unitarians are not very vivid with their beliefs. For example, on could be a pagan, and be a unitarian, one could also be an agnostic christian and be a unitarian. Unitarian is a large term that covers a lot of different religions, it is much like the term paganism.

Well dont Unitarian's not want set beliefs...arent they real open and not what....if so, then opening a lot of "churches" could push certain beliefs and create splits, etc.

I can honestly say I'm surprised by my results. I'm catholic, yet that probably only... 29% or something like that. Weird. Mine showed up as liberal quaker for number one, but I had three with 100%. Really strange.

I've found this test to only be somewhat accurate. It puts some religions high on my list when they really shouldn't be (the ones that believe in the Judeo-Christian or singluar God). I found that kinda annoying since my answers definately reflected a lack of belief in an omnipresent singular God. So given, that, the one that SHOULD be on the top of the list is what I am: Pagan. But I can't say their questions represent Paganism all that well. There are many different kinds, and their questions don't reflect that at all, only the 'typical' Pagan. Plus one of their questions is a belief considered fluffy by some Pagans who are hardcore polytheists: the idea that all gods/goddesses are facets of one.

Oh well. Who needs some test to tell me what I am when I already know anyway? blaugh

The thing about this test is, there's much more to each religion than the belief in a single god of not. That's just one of many different things this quiz looked at. If you got Judeo-Christian answers, perhaps you still look at certain things from a Judeo-Christian point of view.

And as far as the way they represented Neo-Paganism, they chose the most common form of Neo-Paganism to represent. The Pagan movement is so diverse that you could make an entire quiz just like this one for nothing but different Pagan religions.
