It's just easier to throw this in here now than get it moved later.
So...yeah. A friend of mine posts on her blog a selector test to determine what form of "religious faith" might best suit you. She ended up with Unitarian as the #1 spot. I got the following:
1. New Age (100%) 2. Neo-Pagan (92%) 3. Unitarian Universalism (86%) 4. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (78%) 5. New Thought (78%) 6. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (76%) 7. Liberal Quakers (76%) 8. Mahayana Buddhism (76%) 9. Scientology (66%) 10. Theravada Buddhism (63%) 11. Bah�'� Faith (53%) 12. Taoism (53%) 13. Reform Judaism (51%) 14. Hinduism (48%) 15. Secular Humanism (48%) 16. Sikhism (47%) 17. Jainism (43%) 18. Orthodox Quaker (41%) 19. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (38%) 20. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (34%) 21. Orthodox Judaism (31%) 22. Nontheist (29%) 23. Jehovah's Witness (26%) 24. Islam (20%) 25. Eastern Orthodox (11%) 26. Roman Catholic (11%) 27. Seventh Day Adventist (10%)
I'm actually rather surprised at the "New Age" aspect. I guess building beliefs based on "Ishmael," "Stranger In A Strange Land," "Smilla's Sense Of Snow," "Fight Club," & Babylon 5 with smatterings of Egyptian & Asian tendencies will do that.

At the top, with 100%: Unitarian (which is apparently "believe whatever you want")
At the bottom, with 17%: Roman Catholic (see you in hell, Catholicism)

Interesting. Unitarian doesn't seem very specific based on the description though...I think I'll just stick with my label "no religious preference (including atheism)."

Right on the money. No major surprises, unlike the political compass (which drifted a few degrees). [ January 05, 2003, 05:49: Message edited by: E. Cartman ]

While we're on the subject: pity that religion and unitarian universalism / secular humanism are so often mutually exclusive. Best of both worlds, anyone?

This is interesting. I don't know why Liberal Quakers is above Nonthiest. But Secular Humanism, Unitarian Universalism, and Nontheism are basically my beliefs concerning spiritual matters. Pretty cool little survey thingy.

Officially Protestant, but I think it is something... different. Not depending on any religion, everyone has (or should have) his own personal faith, without any surpreme power (church) more or less telling you how to live your faith.

WOO HOO!!!! 100% LIBERAL QUACKER!!!!
Even though I was baptized Roman Catholic, I renounced it long ago.
I'm not surprised by my Buddhist leanings though (#4 and #6 on my list). I've been looking at it since I started dating my girlfriend.

This is very flawed. No way Unitarian, and Christain anything could be in the top ten together. I guess that goes along with any internet thing like this.
