For those who like surveys and religion this might be a fun one. It asks you 20 questions and then ranks religions based on how closely your views correlate with them. It’s not really scientific or anything, and there were a couple questions where nothing really fit with my views, but generally its an interesting one.
My top 3 scores
Orthodox Quaker 100% (I’d have never guessed that one)
Mainstream-liberal Protestant 98%
Mainstream-consevative Protestant 96%
Mine. I thought the quesitons were slanted toward Christianity, and low and behold you almost always get a Christian result, even though I am buddhist/daoist. Guess I hsould look into being a Christian Scientist .
Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (100%)
I don’t need no stinkin’ survey to tell me what I am. I’m a “religious cafeterian” based on the notion that there are truths (and falsehoods) to be found at every location on the philosophico-political spectrum:
Roman Catholic (93%)
Reformed Jew (61%)
Liberal Muslim (38%)
Buddhist (53%)
Neo-Pagan (19%)
Compassionate Conservative (84%)
Flaming Liberal (27%)
The major downside to being a Cafeterian is that everybody hates you. The upside is not having the mental and emotional overhead of having to try to defend institutional falsehoods and rationalizations.
Cafeterians don’t trust anybody who is 100% anything. We believe they start all the trouble in the world. Everybody ought to have at least some healthy skepticism about anything they believe in.
(“Cafeterian”: like a Unitarian who believes in God)
