but i still haven't found what i'm looking for...

I’m not the biggest fan of internet quizzes, although I have done my fair share of them to simply take up time during the long and often boring work day. However, FemeNazi found a pretty nifty one concerning religion. The Belief-O-Matic actually asks interesting questions and allows you to rate the importance of the question itself. How intriguing? But what I found even more interesting was the actual results, a percentage breakdown of 27 religious faiths. Two faiths actually tied for 100%: Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants – not really a shocker – and Orthodox Quaker – what the…huh?!?!?! I didn’t even know that there were Orthodox Quakers. I guess you really do learn something new everyday! I also found it interesting that Catholicism and Seventh Day Adventists had such a high percentage while Sikhism and Hunduism both had over 50% rating. Who knew?
Just for the fun of it, I have included the entire list even though I am not familiar with several of the faiths. If any of you readers actually take the quiz, I’d be interested in the results.

1. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestant – 100%
2. Orthodox Quaker – 100%
3. Seventh Day Adventist – 92%
4. Mainline to Conservative
Christian/Protestant – 88%
5. Eastern Orthodox – 82%

7. Liberal Quakers – 75%

9. Reform Judaism – 58%
10. Sikhism – 58%
11. Orthodox Judaism – 55%
12. Hinduism – 53%
13. Bahá’í Faith – 50%
14. Neo-Pagan – 45%
15. Church of Jesus Christ Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) – 43%
16. Islam – 41%
17. Secular Humanism – 35%
18. Mahayana Buddhism – 35%
19. New Age – 35%
