Default Take the Belief-O-Matic Quiz Today

This quiz is rather fun and informative enough to be worth someone's time. I think it would be good if we posted our results just to share them with each other.

This is the quiz:

2. Roman Catholic (100%)
3. Orthodox Quaker (95%)
4. Seventh Day Adventist (85%)
5. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (81%)

The last time I took this test I scored Unitarian Universalism 100%, Secular Humanism 98%. This time those two were reversed. I must have put more emphasis on something this time around.

No big surprises there. Secular humanisn 100%.

What did surprise me is that I'm closer to Islam than to the Roman Catholic Church.

Amazingly my top religions are the liberal ones. Imagine that :Cheeky:. I'm a little surprised Scientology and Mormonism came above Bahá'�*, but other than that not surprising at all.

No surprises, really. My total materialism, combined with my ultra-liberal opinions on cultural/social issues, give me these results. To really score as a pure "nontheist," I think you would have to say "not applicable" on all the questions, even the ones that are not about religion.
