I already knew I was a secular humanist, but have no idea what scientific panteism is. And I would have thought Unitarianism would be higher- I was raised UU, and have a good relationship with it.

1. Ethical Culture (what is this, anyway?)
2. Secular Humanism
3. Agnostic Church
4. Transhumanism
5. Unitarian Universalism

Maybe I am just a really uninformed non-believer, but I have no idea what most of those 18 cateories mean. Especially the one I'm supposed to have the closest match with. (The name sounds cool, though, if that counts for something.

)

Thanks LadyShea, I checked it out plus did some googling on my own. I don't know how much I agree with the "revere" nature part, but I don't believe in shitting where I eat.

The word "god" used in a naturalistic sense (the universe, awe, etc) is appropriate and usefull. [sic]

Eudaimonist, I remember that question, and I answered "I disagree," go figure...
Thanks anyway for the reply.

My top 10:

#1 Agnostic Church

#2 Atheistic Paganism

#3 Deism

#4 Ethical Culture

#5 Scientific Pantheism

#6 Unitarian Universalism

#7 Taoism

#8 Pantheism

#9 Secular Humanism

#10 Transhumanism

I was kinda disappointed that Scientific Pantheism and Taoism were so relatively low, considering I like both of them quite a bit. Ah well.

Is it just me, or does "Agnostic Church" sound like a club that meets once a week for all the members to shrug at each other, go "I dunno" and go home?

LOL the perfect human religion!

Kinda removes the impetus for proselityzing though...

"Yea, let us admit our fundamental ignorance..."

"Amen, brother, now lets eat"
