As I recall (took it a few days ago), my top four were Secular Humanism, UU, New Age, and Non-theist (1 to 4). Emode's Religion test told me I was a UU, although it might not have even had secular humanism or non-theism as possibilities.

I'm an atheist, studying/practicing Zen Buddhism (Mahayana). The fact that this scores quite low in my list reveals the limitations of the test.

Strange, I don't count myself as a secular humanist. I'm more inclined towards neopaganism. But I suppose all choices except one pointed towards sec-hum.

I like JWs, but I think the only reason this test put me with them is because of my views of non-violence and the nature of God.

HI Milton, remember me?
I was just reading your other reply on the slavation of Jews question, and was wondering about your connection with JW's. Funny that, eyh?

How come?

My response is/was a basic one, and very short.

We had a little discussion prior to my holidays, when I had just started to post on here, .... and .... .... it was your attitute, ... but on the other hand you weren't fluent enough on bible quotes, so it was just a thought.
JW's take a pleasure in the thought of torture of non believers, and I saw a resemblence to that attitute also in other posts of yours.
not to worry, what ever makes you happy
