Perhaps you're all a wee bit tired of questionnaires and polls, but this is a fairly straight-forward one - which yields fun and surprising results; My top scores were:

1. Reform Judaism (100%)
2. Bahá'í Faith (96%)
3. Sikhism (91%)
4. Orthodox Judaism (91%)
5. Islam (83%)
6. Jainism (82%)
7. Liberal Quakers (82%)

I was Unitarian Universalism 100% closely followed by Secular Humanism 95% Think I am closer to secular humanism though.

My test results were surprising! wink.gif

100% - Neo-Pagan
86% - Mahayana Buddhism
69% - Reform Judaism
56% - Hinduism
22% - Islam
18% - Roman Catholic
11% - Jehovah’s Witness


I wonder when the 11% Jehovahs’s Witness comes out…? Perhaps when I have to respond to babu! whistling.gif

I had 33% Catholicism in there. Not suprising as I was brought up a Catholic. Apparently whether you are religious or not, the faith you were brought up in has an influence on you throughout your life. Catholicism has a lot of similarities with Vaishnavism I think. Same rules on sex, bead rattling and whatnot. From my results I also had some Sikhism too. Dunno where that comes from.

Yes, well, maybe - but...you did score 81% Unitarian, 72% Liberal Quaker, plus, let us not overlook the fact that you're practically 60% Jewish! tongue.gif

I've actually been thinking there was something not right about my results; I definitely don't feel Jewish - or Bahai for that matter!

I believe these results may have had something to do with the fact that I answered in the negative regarding my faith in 'incarnations' (GOD taking form on earth and walking amongst us); when I redifined this, and was also more definitive on another question, I came up with the following (which is probably a good deal closer to the truth - though still, not quite):

1. Unitarian Universalism (100%)
2. Neo-Pagan (96%)
3. Liberal Quakers (94%)
4. New Age (90%)
5. Mahayana Buddhism (88%)
6. Jainism (86%)
7. Theravada Buddhism (86%)
8. Orthodox Quaker (85%)
9. Secular Humanism (85%)
10. Hinduism (84%)

I think (if indeed these questionnaires have any real value) that it's noteworthy that there's something of a Neo-Pagan thing going on with most of us here...

That was expected:

1. Nontheist (100%)
2. Secular Humanism (100%)
3. Neo-Pagan (50%)


The whole rest of the list clean 0%, what a relief!

Wow, it's too bad that they did not have a category for Autotheism!

I did this test for the first time nine years ago, with Unitarian Universalism on the first place. I was curious to do it again and here are my results:

1. Neo-Pagan (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism (84%)
3. Jainism (84%)
4. Hinduism (82%)
5. Mahayana Buddhism (82%)
6. New Age (79%)
7. Liberal Quakers (68%)
8. Reform Judaism (62%)
9. Sikhism (59%)
10. Theravada Buddhism (57%)

And, as before, Roman Catholicism, Jehova Witnesses and Eastern Orthodox were on the bottom of the list.
Chanahari
I did it once too. Even back then I found the test very much termed in Christian terminology, often too much to find an applicable answer.

I came out first and foremost as a Sikh, then Mahayana Buddhist, Neo-Pagan, Jainism and Hinduism as the first five; Roman Catholicism was the last option.

My scores:
1. New Age (100%)
2. Neo-Pagan (96%)
3. Mahayana Buddhism (87%)
4. New Thought (83%)
5. Unitarian Universalism (79%)
6. Theravada Buddhism (79%)
7. Scientology (75%)
8. Hinduism (73%)

Last time I did this, Mahayana Buddhism was more prominent, and New Age nowhere to be seen happy.gif
Suppose I changed some ideas during the last few months. And, yes, the questions are definitely too Christian-biased

I received a 100% for Unitarian Universalism (but then again, shouldn't everybody, technically?). More substantially, 96% secular humanist. (I had thought I was a little more mystic-minded these days, but apparently I'm the same ol' agnostic!) I was surprised to find Buddhism(s) to factor in as low as 75% and 62%; Taoism at only 71%. Hinduism came in at only 31% (a far cry from the 100% I received when I took this eight years ago) and Orthodox Christianity/Catholicism both show up at only 12%.
