Belief O Matic

Here are my Belief O Matic results from Beliefnet. I needed to see Freelance Monotheist listed.

I would like to have seen the breakdown include how I did and did not differ with the groups. What are my 58 percent doctrinal commonalities with Mormons? I would have thought that my Catholic count would be much higher. Scientology on the bottom? My theaten levels must be out of whack.

1. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (100%)
2. Liberal Quakers (94%)
3. Bahá'í Faith (92%)
4. Orthodox Quaker (87%)
5. Unitarian Universalism (77%)
6. Reform Judaism (66%)
7. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (66%)
8. Theravada Buddhism (65%)
9. Mahayana Buddhism (65%)
10. Jainism (64%)
11. New Age (61%)
12. Neo-Pagan (61%)
13. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (59%)
14. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (58%)
15. Seventh Day Adventist (56%)
16. Taoism (56%)
17. Orthodox Judaism (55%)
18. Sikhism (53%)
19. Islam (49%)
20. Secular Humanism (49%)
21. New Thought (47%)
22. Jehovah's Witness (46%)
23. Hinduism (41%)

    oh, this is what I got, although I have to say that for most of the questions, the answers available might have been somewhat close but weren't at all satisfying. I could probably take this again and come up with honestly different answers. I should probably read more Tao and/or Thomas Merton. my catholic and buddhist leanings ought to outweigh the protestant thing a fair bit more than that. I cannot possibly be a mainline protestant!

    That other one was just to test where I fell in the Christian world. This is a bit more broad, perhaps to much so to speak to any more than sweeping generalities.

    It is funny that, at one point in my life, liberal was practically a swear word. Now I love having it attached to me.

    I've taken this quiz a few times and never found the results to be particularly accurate.
