Yep. That's a good one. I was a little surprised at my results, but in reading their descriptions, I guess I can't really argue.

Here's my top five:

1. New Age (100%)
2. Bahá'í Faith (94%)
3. Neo-Pagan (93%)
4. Unitarian Universalism (92%)
5. Liberal Quakers (90%)

Not much of a spread from top of this list to the bottom. Not sure what that signifies, but there ya go.

Hell yeah! New thought! Sounds good, now I'm gonna find out what the heck that actually means...

1. New Thought (100%)
2. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (94%)
3. Scientology (94%)
4. New Age (92%)
5. Unitarian Universalism (92%)

Yeah, new thought sounds quite good. The description on that site doesn't clash with my beliefs.

I often just tell people I'm an atheist/secular humanist cause personally I don't see any dichotomy between atheism and buddhism and new ageism and UUism

but of course people will argue with me about this to no end

maybe they're different in other people's minds, but to me it's a lot of the same really.

1. The universe is ultimately kind
2. People should strive to act with love in all situations, and everything besides this is just irrelevant details

I had never heard of my #1 until now and it sort of sounds like a catch-all-religion.
