Secular humanism. I'm not surprised!

 

[Loxias]

Looks like I am the first one with Hinduism on top.

1. Hinduism (100%) I definitely need to read more about Hinduism, but my contacts with them (or mainly the ISKCON) didn't gave me that great an impression.
2. Mahayana Buddhism (88%) No surprise here
3. Orthodox Judaism (82%) I definitely need to investigate this.
4. Sikhism (82%) Not to surprised, I have a lot of respect for Sikhism.
5. Unitarian Universalism (74%) meh
6. Liberal Quakers (74%) Too lazy to check out, makes me think of Quaker Oats.
7. Baha'i Faith (71%) No...
8. Neo-Pagan (70%) I find it romantically attractive, but not more than that.
9. New Age (66%) Probably the ones I dislike most...
10. Reform Judaism (65%) meh
11. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (65%) I have a bit of a pet peeve for protestantism.
12. Theravada Buddhism (64%) Don't know it that well
13. Jainism (62%) Expected it to be higher
14. New Thought (62%) Sounds like one of those American pseudo-religions...
15. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (61%) idem
16. Eastern Orthodox (60%) Still one of my favourites.
17. Roman Catholic (60%) I also have a special attachment through French background and liking for Renaissance art to this one.
18. Islam (58%) Sufism interests me, but I tried reading the Qur'an and was very disappointed.
19. Scientology (58%) I actually dislike them even more than New Age.
20. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (57%) a bit fantasist.
21. Taoism (57%) don't know much about it.
22. Seventh Day Adventist (55%) Another weird American thing.
23. Orthodox Quaker (52%) idem
24. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (46%) glad they are low...
25. Jehovah's Witness (45%) There brochures are funny.
26. Secular Humanism (18%) meh

I'm just laughing at this. Seriously, Islam is number 3??
Most of the questions didn't even have my true belief, so I had to go with whatever came close...

It might be nice to see a longer test that starts by narrowing things down, then gets more detailed to draw more effective distinctions among the top choices. I think that would be a more useful test, and it would probably produce more intuitive results.

I'm just laughing at this. Seriously, Islam is number 3??

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Islam is an Abrahamic religion that shares most of its basic ideas with Judaism and Christianity, so in a test like this, Christians will score higher for Islam than for certain sects and denominations of Christianity. After a few questions, the test could determine that Steph's beliefs are in line with those of the major Western religions, then proceed to more specific questions like the importance of Jesus, etc.

I realize the test was deliberately avoiding that to some extent, trying to give people a feel for which religions most reflect their spiritual philosophies and moral beliefs, but it seemed like the test couldn't make up its mind about exactly what it wanted to be. I think you need to commit to one side or the other: make a test that's specific and primarily produces the expected results (or sheds light on appealing new possibilities), or create one that's exclusively focused on moral ideas and very basic questions (How many gods? Zero/Don't know, One, More than one) to tell people what their religion "should" be.

 

[KDude]

Islam partly stemmed from or was, in a way, a response to Christianity really (kind of hard not to define itself somewhat by Christianity, since Islam came about in the 6th century.. Christianity had been around for hundreds of years already)...

If you read up on Muhammad (or just the Koran in general), you see how much it wants to define itself as a rebellion towards Jewish and Christian interpretations. There are lot of passages that come down to "they said this, but what God was really saying was this...". Not to mention it borrows figures from Judaism and Christianity. Muhammad said he was visited by Gabriel (the same messenger who was sent to Mary) who basically wanted to "get the story straight".

The top score on the list below represents the faith that Belief-O-Matic, in its less than infinite wisdom, thinks most closely matches your beliefs. However, even a score of 100% does not mean that your views are all shared by this faith, or vice versa.

Belief-O-Matic then lists another 26 faiths in order of how much they have in common with your professed beliefs. The higher a faith appears on this list, the more closely it aligns with your thinking.

Fascinating... I would've thought that 6 would've been higher than 5. (Being a kind of middle-ish protestant) But in any event, this came out close to what I would've expected. Also, it's good to see that this hasn't triggered a flame war of some kind.
