1. Mahayana Buddhism (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism (96%)
3. Neo-Pagan (93%)
4. New Age (87%)
5. Liberal Quakers (85%)
6. Theravada Buddhism (80%)
7. Taoism (78%)
8. Hinduism (75%)
9. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (74%)
10. New Thought (74%)

11. Scientology (70%)
12. Jainism (69%)
13. Sikhism (64%)
14. Reform Judaism (64%)
15. Secular Humanism (64%)
16. Orthodox Quaker (55%)
17. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (54%)
18. Bahá'í Faith (44%)
19. Orthodox Judaism (43%)
20. Nontheist (37%)
21. Islam (33%)
22. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (33%)
23. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (31%)
24. Seventh Day Adventist (27%)
25. Eastern Orthodox (22%)
26. Roman Catholic (22%)
27. Jehovah's Witness (15%)

I can relate well to the first 10. After reading what others say about UU I am happy to be included in that category. I don't know what Neo-Paganism is but no big deal -- the test is surprisingly accurate for me.

In another thread that is currently running, I was about to say that Buddhism seems the way to go. I will comment when I find the other thread.

P.S. Assuming that she hasn't changed her mind, I am soon to have the privilege of a 40-year-old Chinese Buddhist nun live with me. Although she belongs to a non-celibate order, she chooses to regard me as her "good father." I can live with that.

Is that what your test results came back? What percentage do your beliefs agree with others?

Come on mee, post your results!

Hmm I got stuck on question one. There's no option for polytheists, except soft polytheism. How irritating.

Well, what do you expect? It's to do with the JW view of the Trinity . . .

Orthodox Judaism, Islam, Sikhism and then finally . . . Jehovah's Witness. Judaism floats to the top for those of us who don't conform to Trinitarian views.

You must have not answered some of the questions correctly, because if you did, you'd be 100% Jehovah's Witness. Some of the people here got 100% for the faith to which they were most strongly aligned. It's not the test that's the problem. It's . . . you!!!! Better go back and study your Scriptures more carefully.

Otherwise mee you may have discovered . . . the Orthodox Jew in you.

The customer is wrong.

Feel left out?

The test was designed and written for conformists.

Atheists are just too diverse a group and hard to define. Take that as a sign that you're a true atheist and free-thinker. Unclassifiable. I can only deal with you, then, on a case-by-case basis.

yes that is something we all should do, it is an ongoing prosess
