Lol... I just started associating with a group of Eclectic Pagans recently. Although I don't consider myself Pagan, perhaps I am. I would be Pagan in the sense that I revere nature as something cherished. Interesting.

ETA: I only agree with the first 5 results. Beyond that, I don't believe any of those systems.

High five to the other two with Hinduism! Whatever that means.
I'll pass on the organized religion thing though, thank you.

I'm surprised Reform Judaism came in so high on my list. I always considered myself a lot closer to some kind of neo-paganism but I guess I'm a bit more friendly towards a non-crazy monotheism. I was raised Jehovah's Witness where there is a big emphasis on the rules of the Bible and Jesus isn't treated as being divine.

Because I know that everyone wants to know what MY result are here's my list:

1. Neo-Pagan (100%)
2. Mahayana Buddhism (96%)
3. Unitarian Universalism (95%)
4. Hinduism (93%)
5. New Age (92%)
6. New Thought (84%)
7. Jainism (83%)
8. Liberal Quakers (83%)

13. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (68%)
14. Taoism (65%)
15. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (64%)
16. Orthodox Judaism (57%)
17. Baha'i Faith (56%)
18. Orthodox Quaker (52%)
19. Secular Humanism (52%)
20. Islam (47%)
21. Nontheist (30%)
22. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (28%)
23. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (27%)
24. Seventh Day Adventist (22%)
25. Jehovah's Witness (19%)
26. Eastern Orthodox (17%)
27. Roman Catholic (17%)

While I agree with the results, I personally find it disturbing that 47% of my beliefs are in line with the Islam faith

That must be my dark side.

I don't believe in religion, it's all been manipulated and controlled since the beginning anyway. I believe in the knowingness and truth that we all have inside us. You don't need to look for some external thing for truth. It's already in you.

Basically there are so many Unitarian Universalists, Secular Humanists, various Buddhist and other rather "sane" philosophies ranking high, that I have to think that it must actually be the loudest minority which makes the most noise on ATS about "Gods", "spirits" and such like entities.. I think that it is a good thing (to have so many secular people here)

Somehow I was under impression that there could be more fanatic religious people here, yet of course we have to reckon that propably not all of believers took the quiz - and if they took, they didn't want to publish their results.

This suggests, that the weakest has to make the most noise in order to appear stronger... Or does it? I dunno

I think it is surprising that some posters in this thread got results that apparently differ from their self-identification. I recognized some posters who are critical of Islam across the board and from those past posts I immediately recognized them as some sort of conservative Christian - but while their results confirmed my suspicions, they were baffled!

I wonder how accurate this quiz is; it treats Islam as a singular faith and Zoroastrianism is unrepresented. Nevertheless, it does seem to be fairly accurate. My results, at least, were so accurate that they pointed me towards a religion that I already agreed with and sharpened my self-understanding.

I don't believe that other people's results are radically different from their actual beliefs. Maybe denial is a better explanation than an unreliable survey?

Yeah I question the accuracy of the test also. Yet we have to recognize that there are many ways to answer those questions and there was the option to valuate the emphasis of each question. But, of course the test itself is merely an automatized quiz, therefore it can only describe something so personal in quite inaccurate manner. It cannot be taken too seriously, but still I am somewhat delighted to see so many secularists...

I guess that above post, if accurate, pretty much displays the inaccuracy of the quiz. Hinduism is polytheism as far as I am aware, while christianity is considered to be monotheism. Although there may be Hindu factions that subscibe more on monotheistic beliefs.. Dunno.

Theravada Buddhism followed by unitarian universalism. Interesting, but I'd say I'm basically just a deist, because we can't prove that we are reincarnated, or that anything happens after we die. But there are still many mysteries...

reply to post by v01i0


It's possible that the strong social structures of those three religions are what tie them together. Buddhism and Protestant Christianity are comparatively liberal religions from comparative cultural origins.

The Upanishads in the Hindu Vedas also explain the doctrine of atman, the one soul of which all beings are a limited extension. Hinduism has a sort of semi-monotheism built into it in the [im?]person of Brahman as well.

You may be surprised, a great deal of time and resources have been invested in studying the physical evidence of reincarnation.

I have seen some cases where children remembered past lives. One I remember that became famous was when a boy remembered dying in a plane crash during WWII, and his parents figured out who he was in a past life. But then there are many stories of people having NDEs and seeing jesus and beginning to go to heaven or hell. Like I said, there are still many mysteries...
