Whether or not you are a Neo Pagan Satanist or a devout Greek Orthodox this little test will tell you where your persuasions are… Check out this [Religion](http://selectsmart.com/PRO/beliefnet/index1.html) test to narrow down what your religious persuasions are. At the end they tell you via a percentage what you are… It is quite amusing and eye opening in a funny sort of way. Oh I’m 100% Neo Pagan 92% Unitarian Universalist 90% Buddhist ---

100% nontheist, 100% secular humanism. 0% Roman Catholic, Islam, etc. I guess I was an easy one to figure out, choosing ‘not applicable’ for almost everything 😛 ---

I’ve taken it before; I’m not a fan of the design, because the atheist answer is typically conflated with the agnostic answer. (For instance, for me the best answer to the first question about the conception of god was something like “God doesn’t exist. Or not sure. Or not important.” Well (IMO of course) he doesn’t, but I am sure, and it is important. –Cliffy ---

I just never put a name on it before. I have even mentions Druidic before which would seem to fit Neo-Pagan. Well Secular Humanism is pretty close to describe me. Darn, I have been catergorized. ---

Hmm. All the “no” and “not applicable” answers are lumped together, so this may not be the best test. Still, I’m in the new club too: 1. Secular Humanism (100%) 2. Unitarian Universalism (93%) 3. Nontheist (81%) 4. Theravada Buddhism (80%) 5. Liberal Quakers (71%) 6. Neo-Pagan (63%) 7. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (56%) 8. New Age (43%) 9. Reform Judaism (43%) 10.

The five that were 90% and over were: Neo-Pagan 100 Liberal Quaker 98 Uni Uni 96 New Age 93, and Reform Jewish 90. It’s odd, because I’ve never been to a service of any of those groups. I’ve known people from each group (except Neo-Pagan,) but we didn’t sit around talking about religion. 100% Neo-Pagan?? I don’t even know where they meet; they sure aren’t in the yellow pages. ---

Apparently, I’m 100% “Secular Humanist”, which I’ve never heard of before, but seems an awful lot like “Hmm, we need to slap a label on these people, too!” Beyond that: 2. Unitarian Universalism (89%) 3. Theravada Buddhism (76%) 4. Nontheist (76%) 5. Liberal Quakers (75%) 6. Neo-Pagan (70%) 7. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (62%) 8. Reform Judaism (55%) 9. Taoism (52%) 10. New Age (51%) Nontheist: I’d consider myself 100%. Everything else, though, just makes me laugh. (apparently, I’m more Christian than Jewish. Dear god the synagogue my parents dragged me to as a kid screwed up!) ---

1. Secular Humanism (100%) 2. Nontheist (88%) 3. Unitarian Universalism (88%) 4. Theravada Buddhism (66%) 5. Liberal Quakers (55%) I don’t believe in God. I answered every single question save one (Doing good works (deeds) and acting compassionately - I answered that it’s necessary) as the “don’t believe, not sure, not important”. So why would I even register a significant percentage in any religion? I shouldn’t. Basically, this poll tars Libertarians and Quakers as extreme liberals who may not believe in God. That’s complete and utter bullshit; it’s just flat-out wrong, and this “poll” should not be trusted to measure anything other than the lengths some people go to to further their own beliefs. Lumping in that “not sure” or “not important” in with disbelief in God is wrong and skews the results. This is not unlike that stupid-ass libertarian-skewed political poll thingy people keep spamming around. I would like for someone to design one of those things without the skewing, please! ---
