Quiz - Find out your ideal religion

This is a quiz I found online, comprising 20 questions, with a weight attached to each question, which determines the existing religion which best suits your religious views.

It's actually a remarkable tool for those who have no idea which religion they are closest to.

Just thought I'd share it...

The percentage figure tells the percentage of the choices you made which agree with the religion in question.

I got Reform Judaism, followed by Sikhism and Neo-paganism.

By the way, it's the first time I've heard of Unitarian Universalism. Had to look it up on Wikipedia...

Cool find.
Some of the questions are too vague but it was fun.
According to the test, I am 100% Orthodox Jew.
Weird.
I always thought of myself as non-denominational Christian.

That was interesting.

That much I figured myself aswell. I just have no clue what are those (except humanism, which is not belief exactly) beliefs listed, and what are their dogmas. I reject every dogma, although I have no disagreement if someone chooses to believe..

I guess I am glad that Roman Catholism fits me only 14%

Haha, and now it seems that there are so many people who got Unitarian Universalism as their most corresponding philosophy.

I too had to look for the explanation... From Wikipedia

It seems to be a generic 'religion' for those who don't really follow any dogma. So I guess it's understandable that it is the most popular result.

reply to post by Saurus


It just struck me that Reform Judaism, Baha'i, Sikhism, and to some extent, neo-paganism are usually grouped very closely together in the results that people have posted so far.

Are these religions really that close in their dogmas?

Here is my full result, as well, for the record:
1. Reform Judaism (100%)
2. Sikhism (99%)
3. Baha'i Faith (89%)
4. Neo-Pagan (88%)
5. Orthodox Judaism (87%)
6. Liberal Quakers (85%)
7. Jainism (84%)
8. Unitarian Universalism (83%)
9. Mahayana Buddhism (83%)
10. Islam (77%)
11. Hinduism (76%)
12. New Age (75%)
13. New Thought (57%)
14. Theravada Buddhism (54%)
15. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (54%)
16. Taoism (52%)
17. Scientology (50%)
18. Secular Humanism (48%)
19. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (46%)

Your reply fullfills my heart with hope

Because these replies shows that there are quite few open-minded individuals on the boards

According to your other post, I too find it curious how the quiz really categorizes these beliefs.. Some of those who are neatly close each other in the results, seems somewhat far each other doctrine-wise. If not even contradicting.

Well. After all, it is just a quiz, not to be taken seriously... Wait, where's the church of Unitarian Universalism so I can go bow before my new god?

-v

This was very cool! I appreciate you posting it. I was 100% neo-pagan? Explains alot why I feel like I don't fit in with the church I attend. I have such an open mind with religion, and where I live they believe everything is completely black and white. Drives me crazy. Thanks again for the info.

It baffles me that Roman Catholic came out last in my list, considering I was raised, confirmed, and was very involved in the Roman Catholic Church until my mid twenties.

But yes, if I study the questions, I can see how my ideas have changed since my youth, and how the Roman Catholic church probably wouldn't agree with most of my answers. .

1. Neo-Pagan (100%)
2. New Age (99%)
3. Unitarian Universalism (93%)
4. New Thought (85%)
5. Liberal Quakers (81%)

7. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (73%)

27. Seventh Day Adventist (3%)

LOL fits me to a tee

All of DirtyDog's top results reflect either 'new' or 'liberal' religions.

What do you think makes a religion "liberal"?
How must a "liberal" religion differ to not be considered traditional?

1. Jainism (100%)
2. Neo-Pagan (94%)
3. Unitarian Universalism (88%)
4. Hinduism (87%)
5. Theravada Buddhism (86%)
6. Liberal Quakers (80%)
7. Mahayana Buddhism (77%)
8. New Age (69%)
9. Baha'i Faith (65%)
10. Sikhism (63%)
11. Reform Judaism (61%)
12. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (59%)
13. Orthodox Judaism (58%)
14. New Thought (55%)
15. Taoism (54%)
16. Islam (47%)
17. Orthodox Quaker (44%)
18. Secular Humanism (44%)
19. Scientology (40%)
20. Nontheist (34%)
21. Seventh Day Adventist (33%)
22. Eastern Orthodox (26%)
23. Roman Catholic (26%)
24. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (25%)
25. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (24%)
26. Jehovah's Witness (22%)
27. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (16%)

I always considered myself a non-practicing Pagan. Since basically anyone from any religion or non-religion can belong to Unitarian Universalism I always liked that 'religion'. This just proves that I picked the right 'religions' or Neopaganism and Unitarian Universalism.
