In My Humble Opinion

  1. Secular Humanism (100%)
  2. Unitarian Universalism (91%)
  3. Theravada Buddhism (89%)
  4. Liberal Quakers (85%)
  5. Neo-Pagan (72%)

I agree that it’s skewed and shouldn’t be lumping disbelief, “not sure” and “not important” together, but on the other hand, it’s a freaking internet poll. Who expects these things to be accurate? It certainly didn’t describe my beliefs either, I just kinda picked whatever seemed closest.

I’m not sure what you were trying to say about Quakers; Liberal Quakers are extremely liberal.

  1. Secular Humanism (100%)
  2. Unitarian Universalism (92%)
  3. Nontheist (80%)
  4. Theravada Buddhism (73%)
  5. Liberal Quakers (72%)

I’m in the club with most of you. Only 1 and 3 apply and 3 should be 100%. My lowest one is Jehovah’s Witness at 5%. This test is clearly skewed, anything at all religious and I should be near 0%.

    Neo Pagan? … lame.

I’m not sure.

But I wonder how many wives would that get you in the afterlife.

Try here.

I’m 100% Neo-pagan, of course.

Nope, Quakers have always been extremely tolerant, which is frequently misconstrued as liberal. Liberals tend to gravitate to the Society of Friends because of their tolerance and committment to nonviolence. All these lily-livered tree huggers you see hanging with the Friends are the “Carts”. The Society of Friends are the “Horse”.

In fact the term “Liberal Quakers” was/is used in contrast to “Evangelical Quakers” a long time ago and had/has pretty much nothing to do with current political side-taking. Think of the term “liberal” in tis case like some other religions mean “Reformed”.

28

I can’t even get past the first question. What does that make me?

Smarter than me when it comes to managing your time.

Well, I’m a cradle Episcopalian, so I was a wee bit surprised to find that I was deemed

100% Reform Judaism

and only

96% Mainstream or Liberal Protestant

31

I understand that, but I still disagree with you. The Liberal Quakers whom I’ve known are, in general, very liberal. That doesn’t mean that Quakers have always been liberal or that Quakerism itself is liberal, although I would argue that it’s liberal in the religious sense and lends itself to political liberalness as well.

:confused: I could be a quaker??? :confused: (oddly enough, what I thought I was is halfway down the list)

  1. Unitarian Universalism (100%)
  2. Liberal Quakers (98%)
  3. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (98%)
  4. Secular Humanism (93%)
    …
  5. Reform Judaism (57%)

1. Secular Humanism (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism (98%)
3. Nontheist (87%)
4. Liberal Quakers (86%)
5. Theravada Buddhism (85%)

pretty much as expected, the first 3 surprised me, as i consider myself a Scientific Athiest, if i was forced to choose a religion at gunpoint, i’d probably go Eastern (like Buddhiism), kinda’ dissapointed “nontheist” scored lower than SH or UU…

maybe the “Quaker” thing explains my love of Oatmeal Rasin cookies? :wink:

34

actually, now that i read the detail description of SH, i agree with the assesment, 100% spot-on

just for fun i’ll read the one that is the least likely me (Scientology)… see how far it differs from my beliefs (or lack thereof :wink: )

35
  1. Neo-Pagan (100%)
  2. Mahayana Buddhism (99%)
  3. Unitarian Universalism (96%)
  4. New Age (92%)
  5. Theravada Buddhism (86%)

I don’t know what the hell a Neo-Pagan is and now I are one. I am rather interested in Buddhism; Unitarian Universalism baffles me, and New Age garbage is just tedious. I’m so confused; I wish I hadn’t taken the damn test.

36

Yep, I agree that most Quakers today would be classified as liberal. But they came to the Friends and pretty much took it over. Today’s Society of Friends has been embraced by political liberals for the anti-war and social justice stance that has been the Quakers’ stance since LONG before those views were called “liberal” (That’s more of a late-20th century development). That’s why I used the cart and horse analogy. There aren’t a lot of old Quakers left, but if you happen to meet some, you might see how they simply don’t fit neatly into today’s political definitions.

Furthermore, I must utterly reject tired old political pigeonholing that inevitibly leads to that insipid “nonviolent, pacifist = liberal, therefore they’re just a bunch of godless commies who hate America and want to tax you 90% and give it to the blacks” meme that we just can’t seem to think our way out of these days. That dog don’t hunt no more.

OK, so IRL I’m a Christian, but not 7th Day Adventist or Quaker or mainline Protestant (though not Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox). More conservative than liberal, theologically speaking (though I don’t consider myself a “fundie”). Guess this means y’all ain’t gonna be showing me the secret handshake.

  1. Reform Judaism (100%)
  2. Sikhism (81%)
  3. Orthodox Judaism (76%)
  4. Liberal Quakers (76%)
  5. Islam (72%)

I am Reform Judaism, FYI. Apparently, it fits.

  1. Secular Humanism (100%)
  2. Unitarian Universalism (91%)
  3. Liberal Quakers (79%)

I seem to be one of the few whose heard of it. There’s a Secular Humanist Society over by Central Park West so I asked my mom. It’s about believing in the non-theological teachings of Christ like the golden rule and stuff. I’ve often said I was sort of a Secular Humanist, except I can be kind of mean.

  1. Liberal Quakers (100%)
  2. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (96%)
  3. Unitarian Universalism (95%)
  4. Reform Judaism (94%)
  5. Sikhism (92%)

Since I’m already a liberal protestant, I’m probably in the right place. None of the others really interest me.
