The site is very useful in explaining the religions. I find it interesting. And since religion is so closely knit with politics and this part of the forum has become test central, thankds to Force and myself, I thought I'd post it.

I have a feeling that the test always gives 100% to Unitarian Universalism.
The options for atheists/agonistics are also severely lacking on that test.

1. Unitarian Universalism (100%)
2. Secular Humanism (98%)
3. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (91%)
4. Nontheist (88%)
5. Liberal Quakers (85%)

12. Taoism (56%)

14. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (51%)
15. New Age (50%)

Default Baha'i?

You don't know what Baha'ism is?

Get on the next train to Haifa and go to the Gardens to fix that. They are astoundingly beautiful. And it's good to see them in the winter anyway, less tourists and not too hot.

If I may point something out, people who are already certain of a specific religious affiliation or who are positive atheists are unlikely to take this test. I already knew that I was a Christian, but I'm not affiliated with any particular church, so this test, for what it's worth, indicates that I tend to resemble centrist Protestant theology in my religious thinking.

Yeah I noticed that, I even put down over 10 answers that would get me a 100% or at least 90+% score for being agnostic (since I am that), but oh well.[/quote]
