WTF? It's impossible to take that quiz from a deistic perspective. There are no god made the world and left type choices. I didn't even say I believed in a trinity but I got this crazy xian score. I think it had to do with saying "Satan" is the cause of much evil and rating it high, where by Satan I meant Jehovah as he is the antithesis of good.

Anyways I retook it and changed the weightings a bit to try and get a more accurate choice and guess what?

Well my results aren't too surprising, except that I chose no belief in in gods and yet only got 88% non-theist and it is lower than unitarian universalism. Are there are other things that define a non-theist other than non-theism??? Is there some sort of handshake or codeword I should know? I gave that question heavy weighting too. The quiz could be much broader but it isn't too bad in comparison to others I've seen.

What on earth is "New-thought", that sounds even more flakey than "scientology". Too bad I couldn't be more eastern orthodox, yay for the Eastern Roman Empire:thumbs: ! I'm fond of their architecture too... that is another topic though.
