I was rather surprised as well. I’d expected Taoism and Buddhism to be higher on my list. My top three were Neo-Pagan (100%), Unitarian Universalism (100%), and Christian Science (99%). This is an interesting exercise, but the weight carried by certain choices in this survey might not be the same weight I’d put on those choices based on my understanding of the belief sets. Christian Science is very high on my list from this survey, and the only time I’ve had the opportunity to discuss religion with a Christian Scientist we were hard pressed to agree on anything at all!

Apparently I am a (slightly) better muslim or orthodox Jew than you, which I suspect had more to do with the weighting we gave things than the answers…

Nevermind that there IS no such thing as a “secular” humanist. I guess it’s just a nicer way of saying “athiest”? Harumpf.
