Belief-o-Matic

Just in case you’re curious, Belief-o-Matic can indicate your religious preference or nonpreference based on a mere twenty questions.

I’m apparently 100% Quaker and 95% a Unitarian Universalist, which is the tradition in which I was raised.

Wanna give it a try?

    Gee, I wonder if all the people I like are actually the same religion…. ;)

    New Pagan. Then New-Age. It seems my hippie parents’ influence still shines through. Sheesh. But come on, I got a higher likelihood of becoming a scientologist than a Buddhist. YIKES.

    I cannot comment on scientology without fear of a cease and desist….but I always saw you as more of a buddhist.

    There’s a link to UUism, Katie, somewhere on the right….this is kinda funny. Where are the Catholics? I mean the adult Catholics?

  7. November 22nd, 2005 at 4:15 pm Anne P Says:

    I started out Quaker, then Mom switched us to UU when we moved to a town with no Quaker Meeting.

    100% on UU, 92% on Liberal Quakers. Lowest on the list is Roman Catholic, 28%.

    “Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant” is #18 at 48%. Better not tell my mother-in-law.

    Ah, don’t cry, H, you have the same results as Kristie, and didn’t Kristie go to Dos Pueblos High School, Home of the Trojans or Raiders or Maurauding Bandits? So perhaps it was something served at football games that made us all mainstream Christians? Wait, or was that peer pressure?
