belief-o-matic

Post Reply New Topic

This one has been floating around the internet for quite a while. It was also posted about a year ago in the PPR forum, but not many people responded. I thought perhaps it might fare better here. Don't take it too seriously. It's not meant to be super accurate.

Interesting, as I know very little about Buddhism. I know that answering that my ideal faith would prohibit abortion contributed to that result coming out on top but I am not sure what other factors leaned that way. This quiz spurred me to learn more about Western Buddhism though.

I also find it interesting that Roman Catholicism beat out protestant denominations. I don't hold much in common with Catholic theology anymore, but I do have a fondness for the Church.

Yeah! I got 100% for Roman Catholicism!

I wasn't sure how I'd score; I like to think of things in different ways than most people, it seems to me, so I wasn't exactly sure what my results would be, but here they are:

1. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (100%)
2. Seventh Day Adventist (89%)
3. Orthodox Quaker (89%)
4. Eastern Orthodox (88%)
5. Roman Catholic (88%)

7. Islam (58%)
8. Orthodox Judaism (58%)
9. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (51%)
10. Liberal Quakers (41%)
11. Hinduism (41%)
12. Bahá'í Faith (39%)
13. Sikhism (37%)
14. Reform Judaism (34%)
15. Unitarian Universalism (33%)
16. Jehovah's Witness (32%)
17. Nontheist (31%)
18. Jainism (29%)
19. Mahayana Buddhism (23%)
20. Theravada Buddhism (23%)
21. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (22%)
22. Taoism (19%)
23. New Thought (18%)
24. Scientology (18%)
25. Secular Humanism (17%)
26. New Age (16%)
27. Neo-Pagan (16%)

Haha! Neo-Pagan scored last! Take that, Satan, you bastard!

It's a neat idea, though. I've often thought of such a test, because maybe people think they're of a certain religion by name, when they're really of another one according to the specifics of their actual personal beliefs.

This can't be right, the test is just too simple and there are too few alternatives. I'm not a sikh.

I've taken this test before, a while ago, and I remember getting Liberal Quaker/Unitarian Universalist then too. A friend and I decided we were going to become Unitarians, but then I think we forgot.
