3.  Mahayana Buddhism (84%) 
4.  Bahá'í Faith (81%) 
5.  Islam (78%) 
6.  Orthodox Judaism (78%) 
7.  Sikhism (73%)

9.  Liberal Quakers (71%) 
10.  Orthodox Quaker (67%) 
11.  Theravada Buddhism (66%) 
12.  Reform Judaism (59%) 
13.  Neo-Pagan (58%) 
14.  New Age (58%)

26.  Secular Humanism (33%) 
27.  Nontheist (29%) 

The questions are wierd, not enuf options, and I was rating the "importance of my answer"? But not the importance of the question?

Well, I guess it would be helpful to someone who wanted a religion but couldnt decide which one :rolleyes:

For me, a lot of the questions were unanswerable as stated.  I took the quiz twice, answering it from different perspectives which represent the sum of my beliefs and experiences (as best I could).

Answering based upon my scientific beliefs:
Quote:

1. Secular Humanism  (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism (92%)
3. Theravada Buddhism (84%)
4. Nontheist (84%)
5. Liberal Quakers (76%)
6. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (58%)
7. Neo-Pagan (58%)
8. Taoism (58%)
9. Mahayana Buddhism (43%)
10. New Age (43%)
11. Reform Judaism (41%)
12. Orthodox Quaker (37%)
13. New Thought (30%)
14. Scientology (30%)
15. Sikhism (30%)
16. Bahá'í Faith (28%)
17. Jainism (27%)
18. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (25%)
19. Hinduism (25%)
20. Seventh Day Adventist (22%)
21. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (17%)
22. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (15%)
23. Eastern Orthodox (7%)
24. Islam (7%)
25. Orthodox Judaism (7%)
26. Roman Catholic (7%)
27. Jehovah's Witness (0%)





Answering based upon my meditative experiences:
Quote:

1. Mahayana Buddhism (100%)
2. Neo-Pagan (98%)
3. Taoism (93%)
4. New Age (90%)
5. Unitarian Universalism (86%)
6. Liberal Quakers (85%)
7. Hinduism (81%)
8. Theravada Buddhism (79%)
9. Scientology (72%)
10. New Thought (71%)
11. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (67%)
12. Orthodox Quaker (64%)
13. Jainism (62%)
14. Secular Humanism (58%)
15. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (58%)
16. Sikhism (57%)
17. Reform Judaism (41%)
18. Bahá'í Faith (40%)
19. Nontheist (32%)
20. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (27%)
21. Seventh Day Adventist (27%)
22. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (21%)
23. Orthodox Judaism (21%)
24. Eastern Orthodox (15%)
25. Islam (15%)
26. Roman Catholic (15%)
27. Jehovah's Witness (13%)




Combining:

1. Secular Humanism  (100%)
3. Taoism (93%)

... is probably the most accurate for describing me.

Non-theist, baby.

Although, I'm w/ Seuss in that the questions are not easily answerable in a way that makes me happy.

I wish the No God/Not Sure choices were separated.

I see no evidence of any divine being, but I am not willing to rule it out completely.  I would be willing to change my mind if evidence was presented.

I'm more an agnostic than I am an atheist.

:grin:

> I'm more an agnostic than I am an atheist.

Same here.  To me, blind faith that there is a god is no different than blind faith that there is not a god.  However, I cannot discount some of the experiences I have had while meditating.  My experiences fit in nicely with Taoism, which ironically, fits in fairly well with secular humanism.  If shooting for labels, perhaps I am a mystical secular humanist.  :cool:  (I love the paradox in that description!)

My inability to completely dismiss a higher power is somewhat the same.  I am unable to reconcile my clear feeling that religion is nonsense from the belief of the vast majority of people on the planet to whom religion is something very important, often *the* most important thing in their lives.

I know Diploid has spent some time explaining to me how this is an evolutionary mechanism in humans, but it gives me pause anyway.

Almost makes me feel I am missing something obvious.

i did take the test, i just didn't see any fun in posting the answers

i got secular humanism at 100%, pretty much same as diecommie, which should be obvious. it'll probably'll be the same as orgoneconclusion, but then i'm both more satanic and theistic than they are. that is because the radi(cality)us of my skepticism searches the whole area of the circle

speaking of satanism, why wasn't that in there? perhaps my beliefs overlap most with ONA.

i suppose i overlap with the jehovah's witnesses in that my
flat only has windows on one side, just like their places of worship
