http://www.beliefnet.com/Entertainment/Quizzes/BeliefOMatic.aspx

Quizzes you on your values and tells you what faith your values most closely resemble. I'm a Therevada Bhuddist apparently, and 70% Scientologist Smile. Two things, try not to just always pick "I don't believe in god" or heaven or whichever it is, you'll just get 100% nontheist and it'll be no fun. Also, if you are religious, try to enter what you think makes most sense, not what your church's policy is, remember it's just for fun, if you are what you are, you shouldn't need an internet test to confirm it for you.

My top 10:

1. Secular Humanism (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism (97%)
3. Nontheist (82%)
4. Liberal Quakers (81%)
5. Reform Judaism (72%)
6. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (69%)
7. Neo-Pagan (65%)
8. Theravada Buddhism (60%)
9. Sikhism (58%)
10. Taoism (52%)

The description they give on Secular Humanisms match my beliefs to a tee, pretty much, although the description contents are shared with that of the test, so it's not as profound. I plan on doing a bit of research though.

Top 5 only, closed the window before I noticed you're all posting your top 10s.

I sort of expected buddhism to be at number one, since I'm pretty much a buddhist, except for the fact that I do not practice it, nor do I want to abstain of alcohol or other mind-benders.

Some of the questions were a bit confusing, and the questions took agnosticism and atheist as the same. I'm not an atheist, but do lean towards the agnostic side sometimes. What the hell is a "Liberal Quaker?" Didn't they die out in the 1800's?
I think the only reason I got a fairly high Neo-Pagan and New Age was because I supported "revering the environment." I don't mean we should worship it, but just that we should try to not fuck up out planet beyond belief. Overall, I'd identify as a Methodist with some agnostic tendencies, as I have many doubts and questions about my faith and the nature of the afterlife, etc.

I think mine was shifted from certain things because they lumped together NO GOD with NOT SURE. Also: Why isn't Taoism higher? I consider my beliefs in line with Taoism for the most part.

But I do love that the fact that all of the religions that my family has are low. But I have high Judaism in several places. Mozeltov!

Bam. Right on the money. I'm Episcopal.


Thou, because I am wroth, be not dismayed, for I shall win the strife, whoever circle round within for the defence. This their insolence is not new, for of old they used it at a less secret gate, which still is found without a bolt. Above it thou didst see the dead inscription; and already on this side of it
descends the steep, passing without escort through the circles,

That upsets me too. Generally my beliefs were grouped with "Or Not Sure. Or Not Important." It kinda ticks me off when the things I believe are in the same choice as not knowing or caring. I know what I believe and I do care, god damn it.

I was more than a little surprised here, because I've never thought of myself as identifying strongly with Christianity or a church. Interesting.

Looks like me, Enshin, and Kubo are in the same boat. I'd say it's pretty accurate. I'm surprised that I have no 90's, or high 80's.

EDIT: Hawk posted while I was doing the test. Sorry Hawk, didn't mean to leave you out.
