Well, not too far from my expectations. One part Universalist Quaker, Two Parts Buddhist, and a born again Taoist with Pagan sympathies. 1. Unitarian Universalism (100%) 2. Mahayana Buddhism (91%) 3. Liberal Quakers (87%) 4. Theravada Buddhism (82%) 5. Taoism (80%) 6. Neo-Pagan (78%) ---

1. Unitarian Universalism (100%) OK, this makes sense since I attend a UU congregation. UU’s are about “We’ll give you information and opportunities, but you can make up your own damn mind about what you believe.” I heart UU. 1. Liberal Quakers (98%) 2. Neo-Pagan (85%) 3. Mahayana Buddhism (82%) 4. Reform Judaism (82%) 5. Jainism (81%) I’m rather surprised this rated higher than Sikhi. 6. Theravada Buddhism (77%) 7. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (76%) 8. Sikhism (75%) Which is what I actually CONSIDER myself. Other than the question of the existence of the One God and the enlightenment of the 11 Gurus, there isn’t _any_ other orthodoxy involved. The Jathedar has no more authority than me to make spiritual pronouncements, so I’m guessing they’re figuring Punjabi culture = Sikhism. Wrong. 9. ``` Hinduism (75%) ``` ---

Highest: 1. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (100%) 2. Liberal Quakers (85%) 3. Orthodox Quaker (79%) 4. Unitarian Universalism (78%) 5. Reform Judaism (68%) Lowest: 23. Jainism (30%) 24.

I’m a proud UCCer, and thus am definitely on the “liberal” side of the Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants, but I’m a little surprised I’m so far from being a Liberal Quaker! I love Quakers, I always wanted to be one! ---

1. Reform Judaism (100%) 2. Sikhism (93%) 3. Orthodox Judaism (81%) 4. Bahב’ם Faith (75%) 5. Liberal Quakers (74%) Some notes: a. I self-identify as a Conservative Jew (or more precisely, as a Jew Who Pefers to Go to a Conservative Synagogue), so the 1- 3 combo makes sense. b. I should look into this Sikh thing. c. I wonder how Baha’i ended up so high, as I can’t stand those guys. Must be osmosis. ---
