Belief-O-Matic

Since it's raining, and I feel lousy, and American Idol has become a big fat joke, and I have to scramble to finish our taxes this week, I'm posting this quiz my mother recommended.

Give it a whirl, if you have the inclination. Below are my results, topped with a disclaimer by the producers of the quiz. It wasn't exactly a big surprise. Although I was a little disturbed that Christian Science came up higher than Roman Catholic.

-------

“The top score on the list below represents the faith that Belief-O-Matic, in its less than infinite wisdom, thinks most closely matches your beliefs. However, even a score of 100% does not mean that your views are all shared by this faith, or vice versa.

Belief-O-Matic then lists another 26 faiths in order of how much they have in common with your professed beliefs. The higher a faith appears on this list, the more closely it aligns with your thinking.”

1. Secular Humanism (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism (97%)
3. Liberal Quakers (86%)
4. Neo-Pagan (82%)
5. New Age (77%)
