With all the religious mumbo-jumbo being discussed, I thought this link a friend of mine emailed me would be fun for some. It showed that I am the heathen I thought I was.

Great site! I was raised Roman Catholic, and I don't think it's just coincidence that the RC religion came in at #27!! Laughed out loud!Marie

My results:
1. Atheism and Agnosticism (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism (97%)
3. Secular Humanism (95%)
4. Liberal Protestant (92%)
5. Theravada Buddhism (85%)
6. Liberal Quaker (82%)
7. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (76%)
8. Latter-day Saint (Mormon) (72%)
9. Conservative Protestant (67%)
10. Bahá'í (63%)
11. New Thought (63%)
12. Neo-Paganism (59%)
13. Jehovah's Witness (55%)
14. Reform Judaism (49%)
15. Scientology (49%)
16. Sikhism (49%)
17. Taoism (47%)
18. Mahayana Buddhism (44%)
19. Eastern Orthodox (41%)
20. Islam (41%)
21. Orthodox Judaism (41%)
22. Roman Catholic (41%)
23. New Age (39%)
24. Hinduism (32%)
25. Orthodox Quaker (32%)
26. Jainism (24%)
27. Seventh Day Adventist (24%)Can't quite figure this out..."Scientology" and "Reform Judaism" got the same score. I'm more likely to be a Mormon than a Reform Jew, for that matter. I think it's because I said a lot of moral positions are not "fundamental". Being one who thinks little about morality is "fundamental", perhaps that's why I'm not so likely to be "New Age" or whatever.
The top of the list is about right, though. I'd jettison #2 and put 1 and 3 in a dead-heat. Unitarianism is just too much of a cop-out, if you ask me. I don't think religion exists just to make people feel warm and fuzzy or actualized. The fear that you will amount to nothing more than a rotting corpse one day should be on par with the fear that you're screwing up somehow and will burn for eternity or come back as a cockroach because of it. A faith with no rules makes no demands, and amounts to wishful thinking, if you ask me. Funny it should score so high...

> #1 for me was reform judaism - my jewish husband will be so proud. (my very protestant father however...). Thy should be interested to note that liberal quakers came in second.
