[http://www.selectsmart.com/RELIGION/](http://www.selectsmart.com/RELIGION/) I found this to be neat test that didn’t take any time at all and I say it was pretty accurate. My personal results were: TOP THREE MATCHES: Unitarian Universalist…click to learn more (score = 100) Mahayana Buddhist…click to learn more (score = 90) Neo-Pagan…click to learn more (score = 83) BOTTOM THREE MATCHES: Jehovah’s Witness…click to learn more (score = 9) Mainline to Conservative Protestant…click to learn more (score = 4) Seventh Day Adventist…click to learn more (score = 0) * * * Yer pal, Satan \*TIME ELAPSED SINCE I QUIT SMOKING: Three months, three weeks, three days, 3 hours, 7 minutes and 3 seconds. 4605 cigarettes not smoked, saving $575.65. Life saved: 2 weeks, 1 day, 23 hours, 45 minutes. “Satan is not an unattractive person.”\*- **Drain Bead** (Thanks for the ringing endoresement, honey!) ---

Top Three: Humanist…(score = 100) Atheist/Agnostic…(score = 100) Unitarian Universalist…(score = 99) Bottom Five (Scores of zero for all of 'em) Jainism…(score = 0) Latter Day…(score = 0) Seventh Day Adventist…(score = 0) Roman Catholic…(score = 0) Jehovah’s Witness…(score = 0) Islam…(score = 0) Yeah, I suppose that pigeonholes the way I interact with the world as well as anything else. The way I interact with myself, though, is not averse to a little Zen here, a little mysticism there. ---

Top three Atheist/Agnostic (100) Humanist (99) Unitarian Universalist (96) The first line is accurate. I reject the third outright, so that one is not accurate. Humanists place to much focus on societal responsibility for personal wellbeing, but for the most part they are ok. ---
