UU followed by Neo-Pagan (which I assume includes Wicca) so pretty damn close. Maybe I should be a UU Wiccan???

My results...hmmmm...

1. Secular Humanism (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism (100%)
3. Liberal Quakers (86%)
4. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (81%)
5. Nontheist (78%)
6. Theravada Buddhism (68%)
7. Neo-Pagan (62%)
8. Bahá'í Faith (51%)
9. Taoism (49%)
10. New Age (46%)

I must say that I was rather surprised that "Secular Humanism" was at the top of the list, instead of "Nontheist".

I think it important to note that many of the provided "Nontheist" choices were abetted by (as if equal in consideration or factored conclusion) "Not sure" and "Not important". This strikes me as unnecessarily introduced bias. "Not sure", and "Not important" should be separate answered choices. Each inquiry allows the respondant to assign a leveled priority to each response (High, Medium, or Low). In my choices, I assigned "High" to virtually all. In none did I express any belief in a deity or force or karma, yet UU, "Liberal Quakers", and Liberal Protestants" tendered a higher percentage of probability than "Nontheist"? Goofy.

The results have to make me question the weight of certain aspects of "compassion" (the poor, ailing, enviornment, etc.) as they relate to the stated "mission objectives" of major religions, as pre-determined by the test designers. I deduce from their weighted bias that respondents that express care and concern for others must possess some element of theistic belief that they conclude is absent amongst professed "Nontheists". Not only does this strike me as unfortunate, but it continues to foster the myth that "Nontheists" are inherently amoral in their perspectives.

Just the same, this may explain that some of my past casual aquaintances (unfamiliar with my atheistic perspective) have stated that they thought me to be "a good Chrisitian".

Go figure. ;-)

Wow I just retook this test and found my rankings had changed massively. I still have UU at the top with 100% (of course ) but coming in at 2nd place with 98% is Sikhism!! Now that was a surprise. Neo-Paganism has taken 5th place followed quickly by Liberal Quaker.

My top one is still UU (100%), but the others have changed
Before / Now
2. Neo-Pagan (97%) ---> 2. Secular Humanism (97%)
3. New Age (93%) ---> 3. Liberal Quakers (91%)

Roman Catholic is still at the bottom.

Interesting...

I just took this test again. My main belief ("Neo"-Paganism) hasn't changed, but all the other options seem to have (results from last time are on page 7).
