Another characteristically secular set:

1* Unitarian Universalism (100%)
2* Secular Humanism (98%)
3* Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (89%)
4* Liberal Quakers (87%)
5* Nontheist (79%)
6* Theravada Buddhism (74%)
7* Bahá* Faith (71%)
8* Neo-Pagan (67%)
9* Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (64%)
10* Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (55%)
11* Taoism (55%)
12* New Age (50%)
13* Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (48%)
14* Orthodox Quaker (46%)
15* Reform Judaism (46%)
16* Sikhism (43%)
17* New Thought (43%)
18* Mahayana Buddhism (41%)
19* Jehovah's Witness (37%)
20* Scientology (34%)
21* Jainism (28%)
22* Eastern Orthodox (26%)
23* Islam (26%)
24* Orthodox Judaism (26%)
25* Roman Catholic (26%)
26* Seventh Day Adventist (21%)
27* Hinduism (17%)

I was raised as a liberal Lutheran, so the "89% mainline to liberal protestant" makes a certian amount of sense, but it still looks rather odd given that I stated (with high importance) that neither god nor afterlife exist! Maybe liberal Lutherans aren't supposed to believe in God?

I was under the impression that Unitarian Universalists were Christians...

I had the same results. Strikes me as strange that it rated the possibility of Liberal christian higher than nontheism when I said nothing to suggest that I thought that a god of any kind might exist.

I believe that there is a mistake in the quiz calculation somewhere.
