Wrong.

Combat Ingrid:

I'd have been happier with the test if they included Satanism and Wicca.

Somehow Roman Catholic got 11%, though I've no idea how!

I can give one or two explanations?

You do realise that unitarian universalism is a technical term for a form of agnosticism that implies theism?

Nope, in that test, it's a social doctrine, where soem followers do, and some don't, believe in a god.

Fair enough abotu neopaganism but I don't think Satanism is stupid. It's very similar to buddhism except that it allows for materialism and an understanding of the self as opposed to an elimination of it.

The explanation in the test is unsatisfactory. It implies a social theory which implies God on a subjective basis. In fact its a tautology upon which you can subjectively say God exists or not, which loosely affects the consequent social philosophy.

I think I got 16% RC instead of 9% RC (like most) because I thought "elective abortion? Huh?" and, though I figured they meant total freedom of abortion (that sounds weird), I put "not applicable" (plus I don't believe in it totally).

Don't You like nuns? Nuns are fun.
They wear funny hats and do not reproduce - it's perfect for You!
Actually, paulicianism - bogomilism would be even better: You hate the catholic/orthodox church, attack it hands to hands with Muslims, and do not reproduce - and You do not have to wear funny hat.

2. Unitarian Universalism (98%)
3. Nontheist (90%)

I'm not muslim... lol.. it was rated high.... I don't get it... I answered I don't believe in god so shouldn't those be "0"?

1. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (100%)
2. Seventh Day Adventist (97%)
3. Eastern Orthodox (92%)
4. Roman Catholic (92%)

I think they rated the Adventists high because of the one eschatalogical question. The Catholic belief on eshatology wasn't well presented.

Plus, I think the question on works could have been better worded.

I can see this test distinguishing between different parts of Christianity, but to distinguish further would require more questions.

anyone know much about the bahai faith?

Christ has already returned, and did so in 1850, in the form of the prophet of the B'aha'i.

Calling your religion "Satanism" is -1: Flamebait.

I think that the ones making this poll only know about Catholicism that its leaders are currently against divorce and protect unborned children
