Very interesting. Have you taken this more than once? I have not,
but might give it a try. The religions that are part of my heritage-
Sikhism, Hinduism and Mainstream Christian do not rank very high on my list. I wonder what that means? dm

much. Sikhism ranked higher which was reassuring. dm

Re: Your beliefs: what are they REALLY?

Well I did this test when my knowledge about religions had not been much further than the faith of Christianity, but I've always had somewhat my own belief, so... at that time I had been astonished about the 100% Hindu, as I did not know much about it! And now I'm astonished about the little change, as I had some shifts of ... whatever you'd call it.

today
1. Hinduism (100%)
2. Neo-Pagan (93%)
3. Mahayana Buddhism (91%)
4. New Age (90%)
5. Unitarian Universalism (85%)
6. Sikhism (84%) 7. New Thought (83%)
8. Scientology (78%)
9. Jainism (68%)
10. Liberal Quakers (68%)
11. Reform Judaism (64%)
12. Theravada Buddhism (61%)
13. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (60%)
14. Baha'i Faith (55%)
15. Taoism (49%)
16. Orthodox Judaism (47%)
17. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (45%)
18. Islam (35%)
19. Secular Humanism (34%)
20. Orthodox Quaker (27%)
21. Nontheist (16%)
22. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (12%)
23. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (12%)
24. Eastern Orthodox (6%)
25. Jehovah's Witness (6%)
26. Roman Catholic (6%)
27. Seventh Day Adventist (4%)

--------------------------------
Also I am certainly NOT a scientologist , and have nothing to do with "new age" (those who do, please, don't want to offend anyone here!), but as I said in the other thread: one must certainly not take that test toooooooo seriously.
Ah, what I realized this time: I found the questions to be far less appropriate than the last time, there were many questions (especially about morality) where I just had to check "not applicable".......

Re: Your beliefs: what are they REALLY?

Wow, this threads still around!

I've taken this quiz several times before, don't believe I've posted the results before.

1. Secular Humanism (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism (97%)
3. Theravada Buddhism (92%)
4. Liberal Quakers (85%)
5. Nontheist (80%)
6.
Taoism (75%)
7. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (63%)
8. Neo-Pagan (62%)
9. Mahayana Buddhism (59%)
10.
Orthodox Quaker (52%)
11. New Age (49%)
12.
Jainism (48%)
13.
Reform Judaism (42%)
14. Baha'i Faith (35%)
15.
Sikhism (33%)
16.
Scientology (32%)
17. New Thought (30%)
18.
Hinduism (27%)
19.
Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (24%)
20.
Seventh Day Adventist (24%)
21.
Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (19%)
22. Islam (18%)
23.
Orthodox Judaism (18%)
24.
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (16%)
25.
Eastern Orthodox (9%)
26. Roman Catholic (9%)
27.
Jehovah's Witness (5%)

I'm not too familiar with secular humanism. It sounds to me like its a nontheistic replacement for religion, which I think is completely unnecessary.

I'm surprised "nontheist" wasn't number 1!
