I took a test asking me what I believed about God and spirituality and so on. Afterwards it rated by a percentage how my beliefs coincided with about 100 "churches"; meaning Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, etc. It said I agreed 100% with the Unitarians. Then, this is the amazing part. It said my score was 42% with the Mormons and 40% with the Reform Jews. To condense a lot into few words, I would say that I agree to no agree with the Mormons and 99% with the Reform Jews, which happens to be my religion. I am amazed that a test would rate me slightly higher with the Mormons than the Jews. Furthermore, the very lowest percentage assigned to my beliefs was with the Catholics. My father was Catholic so I am very in sync with them, highly sympathetic and have great respect for them and consider the Catholic Church to be the greatest and (God forbid - no letters please!) the truest Christian church out there. I guess I'm saying, .....duh, I disagree with the test results. Dovbeliefnet

I took the test but didn't answer some of it, so it wouldn't give me a score, so I went back and re-did it, then figured out that it was the wrong damn test but didn't want to do the whole thing again. Sad SO... I'm an "Active Spiritual Seeker -- Spiritual but turned off by organized religion."

I'll probably take the proper test later. Here's the link for anyone else:

Those are my results. Another test showed that I have erred in choice of occupation; it appears, I should be a Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox priest... I am slightly disappointed with 60 percent of similarity with Islam: I have never been involved in any terror attack and never wanted to be...

Well, I hope, you believe me that I am not a Muslim. Technically, I do not belong to any certain denomination, but tend to define myself as a Christian.

Steissd,
You make it abundantly clear that you are not a Muslim through your open distaste for them. My point was not to say you might be Muslim, just to point out the prejudice in your post.

Like most here, my top two were

1. Unitarian Universalist 100%
2. Secular Humanist 97%

Roman Catholic was rock bottom at 13%

I consider myself an agnostic.

The religion I was brought up in, Christian Science, came in #13 at 49%

I have never attended one of their services, but the Unitarians, I believe, accept a wide range of beliefs, under the theory that one's spiritual path is unique and evolving and should not be bound by dogma.
