What Religion Should You Be Practicing?

Take the Belief-O-Matic Survey and find out which religion suits you best:

http://www.beliefnet.com/story/76/story_7665_1.html

My top 5:

1. Unitarian Universalism (100%)
2. Liberal Quakers (91%)
3. Secular Humanism (89%)
4. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (85%)
5. Neo-Pagan (75%)

And in last place: Roman Catholic (9%) (shock!)


Have fun.

Oops, was this done before? Apologies if I'm being repetitive.

But must we talk about politics and the Middle East ALL the time? I can't help but throw in a little religion every once in a while! It's just too much darn fun!

There's no fun in religion topics anymore. You scared away all the fundies . We have to treat them as endangered species. If we overfish them then all we'll have left are fossil records.

OK, I'll play, though I didn't really feel that comfortable with some of my answers, and I'm sure the priority weighting had an impact(I just don't know what it was!).


OK, here goes:

1. Mahayana Buddhism (100%)
2. Hinduism (97%)
3. Orthodox Judaism (97%)
4. Bahá'í Faith (84%)
5. Islam (84%)

And in last place: Roman Catholic (31%)

I'm more confused than ever! I remember learning about Baha'i in highschool. I thought it was gay then, too.

Yeah, I thought some of the choices were a tad bit sketchy myself. The answers seemed to boil down to 3 categories: a fundamental Christian belief system, a Hindu belief system (multiple gods), or atheism/agnosticism.

Kinda goofy, I realize. I'm bored, what can I say?

1. Unitarian Universalism (100%)
2. Secular Humanism (98%)
3. Nontheist (96%)
4. Theravada Buddhism (87%)

Though i didnt understand some questions completely (i used the scientific methond of picking an answer at random here) so the results are to a certain point misleading. But i see myself as a firm nonbeliver in anything that is remotely tied with religion

• Belief in Deity
Not considered important. Most Humanists are atheists or agnostics.


• Incarnations
Same as above.


• Origin of Universe and Life
The scientific method is most respected as the means for revealing the mysteries of the origins of the universe and life.


• After Death
An afterlife or spiritual existence after death is not recognized.


• Why Evil?
No concept of “evil.” Reasons for wrongdoing are explored through scientific methods, e.g. through study of sociology, psychology, criminology.


• Salvation
No concept of afterlife or spiritual liberation or salvation. Realizing ones personal potential and working for the betterment of humanity through ethical consciousness and social works are considered paramount, but from a naturalistic rather than supernatural standpoint.


• Undeserved Suffering
No spiritual reasons but rather a matter of human vulnerability to misfortune, illness, and victimization.


• Contemporary Issues
The American Humanist Association endorses elective abortion. Other contemporary views include working for equality for homosexuals, gender equality, a secular approach to divorce and remarriage, working to end poverty, promoting peace and nonviolence, and environmental protection.






cool, thanks for the linkage. Im not surprised by the results.
