Hmmm...I guess I'm not Budhist

There is a quiz you can take at belief net - it has the clever name of belief o matic. It has a eries of questions regarding religion and beliefs and the point is to tell you after you asnwer the questions, which religion most closely matches your personal beliefs. I shouldn't be surprised, but I was slightly surprised by my results:




1. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (100%)
2. Jehovah's Witness (90%)
3. Orthodox Judaism (70%)
4. Bahá'í Faith (68%)
5. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (67%)
6. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (67%)
7. Islam (64%)
8. Sikhism (60%)
9. Orthodox Quaker (55%)
10. Reform Judaism (54%)
11. Liberal Quakers (52%)
12. Eastern Orthodox (47%)
13. Roman Catholic (47%)
14. Jainism (45%)
15. Seventh Day Adventist (45%)
16. Unitarian Universalism (42%)
17. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (37%)
18. Hinduism (36%)
19. Mahayana Buddhism (35%)
20. Theravada Buddhism (34%)
21. Neo-Pagan (28%)
22. New Age (22%)
23. New Thought (22%)
24. Secular Humanism (21%)
25. Taoism (17%)
26. Scientology (16%)
27. Nontheist (16%)


I am mormon after all, so this should not be a surprise! But as I was taking the quiz I found myself wondering if my answers were going to put me in the mormon category. Of course, religion is much more nuanced than a quiz can convey. You can take the quiz here if you're interested.
