All Hail the Belief-o-Matic


It's a hoot.

Typical of these kind of things, the questions themselves show the bias of the survey architect. It asks a series of 20 seriously skewed questions, then suggests which set of beliefs best matches your answers.

I'll show you mine. Show me yours.

1. Secular Humanism (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism (90%)
3. Nontheist (76%)
4. Theravada Buddhism (72%)
5. Liberal Quakers (71%)
6. Neo-Pagan (60%)
7. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (52%)
8. Taoism (47%)
9. New Age (43%)
10. Reform Judaism (33%)
11. Mahayana Buddhism (33%)
12. Bahá'í Faith (28%)
13. Jainism (27%)
14. Orthodox Quaker (26%)
15. Sikhism (23%)
16. Scientology (22%)
17. New Thought (20%)
18. Hinduism (18%)
19. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (15%)
20. Seventh Day Adventist (14%)
21. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (10%)
22. Eastern Orthodox (8%)
23. Islam (8%)
24. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (8%)
25. Orthodox Judaism (8%)
26. Roman Catholic (8%)
27. Jehovah's Witness (5%)

Why not a hardcore Secular Humanist? I like nature. And naturism.

Which is pretty freaky - because I spend one afternoon every three months going door to door trying to convince people not to eat pork.

Wow. You're simultaneously more Pagan and more Mormon than I.

How can that be possible?
