I did this once upon a long time ago. Heh. It'll be interesting to see what's changed. I'll check back in when I have time to do the quiz.

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. |

1. New Age (100%) 2. Unitarian Universalism (100%) 3. Mahayana Buddhism (91%) 4. Neo-Pagan (91%) 5. Liberal Quakers (89%) 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 |
