My former religion is third from last. I guess I made a good call. I find it odd that nontheism is #10 when one of my answers actually was "There is no God," and Unitarian Universalism, Hinduism, Paganism and…Quakerism? are all above it.

It seems that the priorities of the selections are fairly important.

I don't really see how a list like this can be assembled when there are immense differences between so many of these belief systems. It also seems like the process used to derive the list is questionable. But it did identify my top pick properly:
1. Orthodox Judaism (100%)
2. Islam (95%)
3. Reform Judaism (91%)
4. Sikhism (89%)
5. Baha'i Faith (86%)
6. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (78%)
7. Jainism (72%)
8. Jehovah's Witness (65%)
9. Hinduism (63%)
10. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (58%)
11. Liberal Quakers (57%)
12. Mahayana Buddhism (55%)
13. Orthodox Quaker (55%)
14. Eastern Orthodox (51%)
15. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (51%)
16. Roman Catholic (51%)
17. Neo-Pagan (49%)
18. Seventh Day Adventist (49%)
19. Unitarian Universalism (49%)
20. New Age (41%)
21. Scientology (41%)
22. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (37%)
23. New Thought (36%)
24. Theravada Buddhism (36%)
25. Secular Humanism (23%)
26. Nontheist (20%)
27. Taoism (20%)
Do the authors really think that Islam is one cohesive bloc without any divisions?

I bailed at this question:
"Are there human incarnation(s) of God (or of gods/goddesses)?
No incarnations as there is no God. Or not sure. Or not important."
One of these things is not like the other...

I think my Quaker rating was a result of my non-violence answer combined with my "low" priority for all of the moral issues.

No big surprises here. Though I am more conservative than #1. Too bad they didn't include Puritan theology beliefs in the quiz. And Q12 didn't have an answer for me.

I didn't expect that Scientology would make it to my top ten. Guess I'll have to start my shifts as a "volunteer" groundskeeper at one of Tom Cruises mansions. The rest should solidify my persona as a hippie.

I thought it was interesting how the "test" put "Glennism" in terms mere mortals could understand, but I know what you're saying, Doofy.

One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

I'm pseudo-solitary. Around where I am, Pagan groups can get either a lot of bad publicity or a lot of "negative, unofficial attention." Besides, some such groups are pretty darn wacky...

I've been rather shocked that the area I live in is rather tolerant about religion. At least, no one has ever confronted us about it. Most around here view me as some type of quasi-Christian anyway (which is fairly accurate), though I did go and buy incense one night while wearing a ceremonial robe. We ran out of frankincense and I was in a rush, didn't bother to change. At least I took off my "funny hat".

I'm Catholic, but to me my religion has nothing to do with religion, and everything to do with culture. I will say this is a pretty crappy test. "Or not sure. Or not important" should certainly be separate choices. To say there is a God but it's not important or that you aren't sure if there is a God is completely different from saying there is no God.

Question 12 was lame.
Also, I don't get how anyone can "be" a Unitarian Universalist. They don't actually have any dogma or belief system, aside from "we accept whatever you believe as your personal truth". I tend to think that most (if not all) UUs participate just so they can feel good about going to "church" on Sundays.

Eschewing all formalized dogmas and belief systems is in itself a dogmatic belief system.
I'd like to have seen some thought in this applied to Pantheistic Multiperson Solipsism, but I guess that would be asking a lot.

That opens a whole barrel of nightcrawlers. If people actually understood that their will is much more than simple phantasma... Of course, since most don't have a clue about knowing it, much less focusing, the ether (Yetzirah) is filled with wavering images and erratic impulse.

Nope. Close (in time, anyway). Even before L. Ron went off the deep end, he was actually an interesting person, and a talented writer of "space opera" type stories. But he got stuck in the muck of his own invention and never progressed beyond that. Others thought more deeply and came up with some really interesting, formally sound philosophical proposals, for example Pantheistic Multiperson Solipsism.

If I'm not mistaken, you can click on each religion and it gives you a quick snippet about it.
