I am 1. I deeply disagree with the distinctive theological teachings of 2 but got it because of my social conservatism & my belief that God has a corporeal nature. If not for that, I should have scored higher on 9 & 10.

I’m actually surprised that New Age is that low for me, given that it’s been one of the most important forces in shaping my beliefs. I also find it funny that RC always ends up near the bottom for me when I take this kind of test, because that’s the religion I was raised in (if not strongly–my mother isn’t very religious and neither am I)
100% New Age
98% Neo-Pagan
97% Liberal Quaker
U.U. is also high on the list.
I was brought up Lutheran…but lately my beliefs are changing. I feel Christianity these days is mostly a construct of man…and has little to do with Christ’s teaching…but I’ll leave it at that…don’t want to step into Great Debates territory.
Here are my top five:
Secular Humanism (100)
Unitarian Universalism (92)
Theravada Buddhism (86)
Liberal Quakers (85)
Neo-Pagan (73)
And my bottom five:
Orthodox Judaism (24)
Mormons (23)
Eastern Orthodox (15)
Roman Catholic (15)
Jehovah’s Witness (11)
My parents were both raised as Catholics, but they had given it up by the time I came along. My mom wound up with more new agey beliefs and my dad was agnostic. They taught me to decide for myself what I wanted to believe, and I guess I kinda chose “none of the above.”
Sucular Humanism 100%
Nontheist 90%
Unitarian Universalism 89%
These unitarians seem very wishy-washy given the definition at the website.
I got 0% for every religion.
I was not surprised.
I really disagree with the Unitarian Universalism percentage. I would have pegged myself at about 37%, tops.
Here’s how my results came out-
Mahayana Buddhism (54%)
Theravada Buddhism (53%)
New Age (52%)
Neo-Pagan (51%)
Interesting, I was rasied Catholic,but I don’t care about ceremonies, and I have a real problem with blind faith and unquestioning obedience.
Personally, I think my first two results should be reversed… although actually, I would have prefered to be listed as “none of the above”.
Yes No
Yes No
Yes No
So, where’s the wishy-washy agnostic catagory?
This thing is indeed poorly designed.
My Top Six:
UU 100%
Liberal Quaker 98%
Mainline Lib Christian Protestant 95%
Secular Humanism 81%
Reform JUdaism 78%
My “birth religion,” Roman Catholicism, is Number 25 with 32% (third to last) and in last place, at number 27, is Seventh Day Adventism with 24%
My Top 5:
How’d I get that? Weird.
I can live with that! I fully agree with MacTech though as
is very nearly the exact same thing I said to a friend the other day.
So much going on in this thread! For one thing, I had no idea that Shodan was Jewish.
I do think the test is somewhat flawed. Despite self-identifying as an atheist, my answers that a belief set should include taking care of other humans and the environment put me in the Secular Humanist set. Apparently, that matters more than my steadfast denial of the existence of God – even though the site itself says that “Belief in Deity” is “Not considered important” for Secular Humanists, (I said my lack of belief was important), and it’s the only characteristic given for Nontheists. I suspect a flaw in the scoring algorithm.

I find it interesting that the JWs are taking a horrible beating in the not-all-all-valid-for-scientific-purposes sample we have thus far.
1. Neo-Pagan (100%)
That’s me alright.
2. Unitarian Universalism (86%)
Eh. Never attracted me.
3. Mahayana Buddhism (86%)
Life is suffering? Yeah. Enlightenment attainable? … Not so sure.
4. New Age (75%)
NO! DAMMIT! I heartily abjure all silly woo-woo stuff!
5. Reform Judaism (74%)
… How does this work with the whole polytheism thing again??
Interesting. I’ve taken this test a couple of times before, and always came out with Universal Unitarianism as #1 (it came out #6 this time). I guess I changed a few answers this time.
The thing I don’t like about this test is that it doesn’t even consider Deism. I can’t be the only one left!
