Belief-O-Matic

Okay I know most of us here are atheists and this is a pretty vague test, and they list No god with not important, but just for fun since the results do vary and it doesn't just touch on religion....

http://www.beliefnet.com/Entertainment/Quizzes/BeliefOMatic.aspx

It's fascinating to see how much religion = repression...sexually, emotionally, socially and physically. It's disturbing.

1. Secular Humanism (100%)
2. Nontheist (92%)
3. Unitarian Universalism (92%)
4. Theravada Buddhism (76%)
5. Liberal Quakers (70%)
6. Neo-Pagan (63%)
7. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (58%)

That's a terribly worded and fatally incomplete spirituality survey--but not bad just for fun. 

It was actually pretty accurate in my case.  The Unitarian Universalist thing came out of left field, but Liberal Quakerism and Neo-Paganism describe me quite well.

 More accurate than I expected.

Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare

Let the future generations cleanse it of all evil, oppression and violence, and enjoy it to the full."

Nothing too surprising here. Except perhaps the 61% neopagan part. Though I do have a pagan god on my avatar, but that is just because the Midgard Serpent is badass.

Though I am dead set against "promoting peace and non-violence" as the secular humanism page says. Sometimes we need to use violence. I promote some forms of violence (but I'll probably sound like a nut if I go into detail on that point). For some reason "promoting peace" sounds a lot like "appeasing foreign dictators" to me. That being said, I do not support our current war in Iraq.

"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."
British General Charles Napier while in India

This has been posted before.

This has been posted before. I remember there's a bunch of questions you should actually skip if you're an atheist but it's not obvious unless you read carefully.

Ah.  That probably explains why I didn't get 100% nontheist.  I'm definitely not a secular humanist.

Saved Myself

 I could only get through the first 4 questions before I felt like I was wasting time doing this test when I could be cleaning under my toenails or wiping out the commode. I didn't finish and I feel much better about myself. You're a better person that me pep.....

god -- I tried you on for size.... you were a little long in the crotch, loose in the waist, short in the length and you made my butt look extra flat. I had to take you back for an exchange.

Those of you are getting

Those of you are getting weird results are because you picked "agree" or "disagree" when you should have said "NA" for the last bunch of questions: They're supposed to be answered according to your religious beliefs, so if you don't have any it's "NA. "
