Since there's so much religious debate raging across this site, perhaps this test will show you what you should really believe. 😀

My Top Three:

Nontheist 97%
Secular humanist 94%
Unitarian Universalist 92%

Interesting, as I was a member (because my mother was) of the UU church until the age of 9.

My top three:

1. Secular Humanism 100%
2. Unitarian Universalism 93%
3. Nontheist 81%

I was quite surprised at the number of different belief systems it gives results for, as the choices available in the questions led me to believe that it would only give results for the world's predominant belief systems.

I kind of wish it would tell you how the results are weighed and specifically how much importance it plaves on your responses to the relevance of each question.

They're a bit too social and self-righteous for my taste, and not really a religion per se, but interesting:

Also, they light things on fire with their chalices, rather than drinking cheap wine.

Cool!

1. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (100 percent) - No surprise there.
2. Islam (89 percent) - Ha! 😀
3. Orthodox Judaism (89 percent) - clear it does not distinguish between Christian and Other theist religions.
...
25. New Age (14 percent)
26. Taoism (13 percent)
27. Secular Humanism (10 percent) The other end of the spectrum. Where did the 10 percent come from?

(How do you get a percent symbol to show?)

Interestingly I was educated in Roman Cathloic schools for all of my schooling. At one time i found deep spiritual peace in the church but my beliefs seem (and have) changed some what over the years from early teens to now.

Postscript Edit

On the same web site is a questionaire "What Kind of Catholic are you ?". I think the description in my result probably explains a bit:

You are a "recovering" (alienated) Catholic

You are seriously alienated from the church, whose official teachings and hierarchical structure have strayed far from what Jesus envisioned, in your opinion. You agree with criticisms leveled at the church by writers like Garry Wills and you appreciate the religious satire in movies like "Dogma."


I think that says it all. For me anyway.

" A religious association of Christian origin that has no official creed and that considers God to be unipersonal, salvation to be granted to the entire human race, and reason and conscience to be the criteria for belief and practice. " Dictionary.com 16-4-2004


Rob a Christian, now that is funny 😀 😀

(Note to the moderators: This is not a personal attack. Rob has stated numerous times his thoughts on Christianity. So this is funny in the ironic sense.)

I have never performed or seen "witchcraft" in my life.

Both 'New Age' and 'Jainism' seem to be interesting concepts with an apparent high score for me.

Other Quizzes:

Quiz: "Spiritual Type"
Result: "Confident Believer – You have little doubt you’ve found the right path" - no surprise here. 😴

Quiz "Is Your Heart At Risk?
Result: "Risk-free. Your Cynicism level is very low" - I thought I was more cynical. 😕

Quiz: "Are You a Narcissist?"
Result: "Selfless spirit. You don't think much of yourself--literally--and it's probably helped you get along with people and reduce the anxiety in your life." - pat myself on the back 😏 - pat pat.

Well, I guess I can't say I'm not a Bible thumper anymore.
Apparently, I should be in an orthodox Quaker church.

If that wasn't bad enough, I took the "What kind of Christian Are You?"
test and was amazed beyond belief.

With a score range between 0 and 400 I scored.......413.

I kid you not. Please, someone verify this so I know I'm not crazy.
My responses to the twenty questions were:
1-1-1-1-1-1-1-4-2-1-1-2-2-1-1-1-2-1-1-1.

I guess the world isn't ready for a Bible thumper of my caliber, eh? LOL! 😀
