Belief-O-Matic Check in

Every once in a while I wander over to Beliefnet.com and fill out the Belief-O-Matic
questionnaire, just to see where I'm at. It's actually changed quite a bit over the years. My kids have, as well, and it's interesting to see the result. It's by no means infallible (which I don't believe in anyway ;-) but sort of neat, and makes you think.

So, today's scores:


1. Theravada Buddhism (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism (96%)
3. Mahayana Buddhism (81%)
4. Secular Humanism (73%)
5. Neo-Pagan (73%)
6. Liberal Quakers (73%)
7. Jainism (67%)
8. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (65%)
9. Sikhism (64%)
10. Taoism (62%)
11. Nontheist (60%)
12. Hinduism (60%)
13. New Age (59%)
14. Reform Judaism (52%)
15. Orthodox Quaker (50%)
16. New Thought (41%)
17. Orthodox Judaism (39%)
18. Scientology (38%)
19. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (37%)
20. Bahá'í Faith (35%)
21. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (34%)
22. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (32%)
23. Seventh Day Adventist (30%)
24. Islam (29%)
25. Eastern Orthodox (15%)
26. Roman Catholic (15%)
27. Jehovah's Witness (11%)


You guys know way too much about me.

Yeah, but we don't hold it against you. ;)

I've tried this a few times, and my beliefs (top 10 are very similar to yours, though in a different order) don't seem to change much unless I take the test when I'm really cranky with people, in which case the punishing and social control aspects seem to rise a little higher!

I got 100% secular humanism. Not shocking. Numbers two and three were Unitarian Universalism and Liberal Quakers, which is pretty interesting, and not something I would have thought I would get!

I really like that you share tidbits about yourself. So many authors seem deliberately secretive, and it's always frustrated me to no end!

I got Neo-Pagan, Mahayana Buddhism, then Taoism. A little surprising, as I've never thought of myself as any of these things. I usually just call myself an agnostic and leave it at that.

Thanks for the quiz! Good procrastination material.
