Religion quiz

I've taken online "which religion should you be?" quizzes before. The results will change depending on my mood, or which one I take, but I thought I'd share the results of one I took today with you:

1. Reform Judaism (100 %)
2. Mainline - Liberal Christian Protestants (76 %)
3. Liberal Quakers - Religious Society of Friends (76 %)
4. Bahai (75 %)
5. Orthodox Judaism (75 %)
6. Islam (70 %)
7. Unitarian Universalism (65 %)
8. Orthodox Quaker - Religious Society of Friends (55 %)
9. Sikhism (53 %)
10. Neo-Pagan (52 %)
11. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (52 %)
12. New Thought (51 %)
13. Secular Humanism (50 %)
14. Christian Science Church of Christ, Scientist (49 %)
15. Mainline - Conservative Christian Protestant (44 %)
16. Scientology (44 %)
17. Jainism (42 %)
18. New Age (42 %)
19. Eastern Orthodox (37 %)
20. Roman Catholic (37 %)
21. Mahayana Buddhism (36 %)
22. Theravada Buddhism (35 %)
23. Non-theist (34 %)
24. Jehovahs Witness (32 %)
25. Seventh Day Adventist (31 %)
26. Taoism (31 %)
27. Hinduism (22 %)

First, I was surprised how many liberal churches came up in my top 10. That probably has something to do with my not giving a crap about abortion.


I'm glad my Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic scores were tied, and that I'd make almost as good a Theravada Buddhist as I would a Mahayana Buddhist.


In general, looks like I'm not a good candidate for the "eastern" faiths, or the 2 kookiest homegrown American religions. I'm kind of surprised that Christian Science ranked as high as it did.


And bad news, Latter-Day Saints: despite my frequent posting about you, I'd be a better Sikh than I would a Mormon. Although they might argue that it's a statistical dead heat.


How is New Thought different from Secular Humanism? Are Neo-Pagan and New Age that dissimilar? And where the hell are the Swedenborgians on this list?


Thanks for visiting Mormania!
