3. New Age (97%)
4. Neo-Pagan (97%)
5. Liberal Quakers (80%)

I don't fully agree with #1, but I've heard it suggested before.
I don't really understand what #2 is, but buddhism isn't too bad.
#3 and #4 fit me pretty well.
I don't know what #5 is.. *goes to google, comes back* ah, I suppose I see where they're coming from.

I posted all 27 just for the fun of it. I find the test results interesting as it shows how much shared beliefs all these religions have. Maybe if one church was formed encompassing only the shared beliefs, it would be truer to the original. I was surprised at Scientology being as high as 70%, but I guess that's because a lot of the practices turn me off.

Unitarian beliefs include a god, so it's weird that that one is second. I'm not a secular humanist.

Semiremis

I don't typically go around telling people who are unsure of their beliefs to take this quiz and it will give you an answer and I'm not going to do that here. I however found it's findings very accurate after I took the quiz. In any case, it's fun and it has a lot of possible outcomes so hopefully it will help some of you get a greater idea of what's out there.

Feel free to take the quiz, post your results and/or discuss it.

Hmm I acctually think this might be a bit of a Christian Pishing tallier.

None of my answers corrilated to God or a belief in the divine at all. Most of them were either Athistic or a generic theistic belief and yet I got a "Unitarian" as first and that one is essentially "Smorgasborg Christian" where they believe whatever parts of the Bible make them feel warm and fuzzy and ignore all the bad yuky negative crap.

EDIT: I'm Taoist.

I always seem to get Neo-pagan. Technically I count myself as agnostic theist currently, but I am still on my spiritual journey.

Not true. Universalist Unitarian is not a Christian religion. It is mainly a mix of many different religions including Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism and more.

Quote:

Unitarian Universalism (UUism) is a theologically liberal religion characterized by its support for a "free and responsible search for truth and meaning."

1. Unitarian Universalism (100%)
2. Secular Humanism (96%)
3. Theravada Buddhism (89%)

Number 1 sounds like "Believe what you want, I don't care."

I don't really get why it put Buddhism high, but most of the other stuff is pretty neat. Unitarian Universalism is okay, but I feel like it's just too vague to be a distinct religion. Taoism is what I feel is best for me and it's my 9th result.
Then again, many questions didn't have my awnser, so I pretty much picked what sounded the most acceptable. rofl

Top Five:

1. Liberal Quakers (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism (94%)
3. Neo-Pagan (85%)
4. Reform Judaism (84%)
5. Baha'i Faith (82%)

And Bottom Five:

23. Eastern Orthodox (34%)
24. Roman Catholic (34%)
25. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (34%)
26. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (31%)
27. Jehovah's Witness (22%)

... I consider myself culturally Roman Catholic who draws my personal relationship with faith from this background (Abrahamic understanding of God, etc.) but do not believe this is the only path. (Maybe the Liberal Quaker was very correct...)

And yeah, the high reverence to nature I think got the Neo-Pagan up pretty high.

It wasn't any help to me really, since I already know what I believe. But, here are my top 5 results. I can't believe Orthodox Quaker is #2..

1. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (98%)
2. Orthodox Quaker (89%)
3. Eastern Orthodox (89%)
4. Roman Catholic (89%)
5. Seventh Day Adventist (80%)

Posted: Mon Aug 24, 2009 8:58 pm

I didn't even believe this would really work. It actually got my religion right (and kind of confirmed that I really do believe in the faith I was raised in). I think I was shocked that with me, Jehovah Witness was #3 (I get in too many fights with them).

I think it's funny how Roman Catholic is at the bottom and UU is at the top. Maybe I should reconsider my religious preference a little, by looking at my top 8.

Apparently I'm not authorized to believe anything...

I tried backtracking to get to this quiz, and nothing. Except for "You are not authorized to view this page."

Can I find it anywhere else?
