I have been a memebr of beliefnet for about 4 years now(albeit in a constant one over the past 2) and this is a "quiz" that gives you the religions/spiritual beleifs your ideas most closely resemble. Sometimes the results are predictable..sometimes they aren't. I have had many friends surprised at the outcome. I am posting the here because I didnt think it belonged in general and may spur some conversations.
They cant give all of the answers to all fo the questions so , sometimes, you have to pick the one that most closesly resembles yours. enjoy

I define my beliefs as being liberal Protestant, but follow no denomination. Suzieq, interesting how your 92% Conservative Protestant got above the 100% Orthodox Quaker. There wasn't any editing going on was there?

I have never yet spoken a word of English to any of my children. They can speak as much English as they like to others, but when they talk to me they have to talk in Gaelic."

One can not profess to be of "GOD" and show intolerence and prejudice towards the beliefs of others.

Your Results: 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.

Interesting, I'm not sure what some of these beliefs are - I guess I need to look up secular humanism?
