Take the religion quiz!

Been having fun with this one on another list I am on. One of us is a very observant Jehovah’s Witness, the rest of us are good little occasional church goers of various faiths. Our answers suprised us a bit. What makes it mose interesting, perhaps, is that it pushes you to choose what you believe. Anyway, I would apparently make a damned good neo-paganist. Who new?

Really interesting, Cranky! I think I’d make a great Liberal Quaker or a Mahayana Buddhist.

I posted my scores here because it’s funny: Guess which religion I was raised in? And guess which religion is at the bottom of this list? It’s tied with Eastern Orthodox, which is my Dad’s religion. LOL!

Can you believe I’m more likely to be a Scientologist than a Catholic!! :wink:

Organised religion sucks anyway. I have my beliefs, and hopefully they’re enough to get me through my life.

It has been done already.

TwistofFate, that Scientologist score scared me as well! A friend and I went to see their “free movie” as a joke in D.C., and when it was over we ran out of there afraid for our lives! Looks like you and I line up pretty close in belief systems.

My goodness…

Quicksilver… we almost identical… iampunha thinks we should get together :smiley:

You know, when I took this quiz a few months back, I was 100 percent a RC. Now it seems I’m an Orthodox Quaker (100), with only 64 scored for roman catholicism.

Well, considering the fact there was no “Conservative Judaism” option, I suppose that’s close enough.

But Bahai? I guess growing up in one of their holy cities made something rub off.

My scores were silly.

OTOH, I noticed that I found a lot of “do not apply” answers (even when the survey did not provide for that response). I get the feeling that it was put together using “textbook” definitions of the various religions or belief systems and it missed the mark on a number of questions.

First- Mahayana Buddhist …click to learn more (score=100)
Last- Roman Catholic …click to learn more (score=0)

I think this is what I got the last time. Yet another who was raised RC. Go figure…

tomndebb, I got the same feeling as you about the “do not apply” answers. There wasn’t a lot of room for religious complexity. There’s no way that I’m a Neo-Pagan, but it’s still sort of telling about how far away I am from the religion of my birth, and it was interesting reading about the various religions that came up in my top ten.

    although the fact that I would make a good UU did surprise me. I’m just glad I got a ZERO in Scientology. Better than all you clams out there.

I don’t need to take a test. It’s all fairy tales and wishful thinking.
