This one?

Hmmm, how about none of the above? I am at least a little annoyed by how high my LDS rating is...feh!

Actually, I consider myself aesthetically a neo-pagan chaos magician/fool with an abhorrence for dogmatic wiccans.

Haha! That was a great test. I out-neo-paganed the neo-pagan! I see the religion I was initially exposed to (inflicted with?) way down near the bottom. Interesting results. The religion I was initially raised in (inflicted with) is way down near the bottom, and Neo-Pagan, Liberal Christian, and Liberal Quaker near the top, as I expected. I was surprised at New Age, though I suppose that borrows from Neo-Pagan. Buddhism and Jainism come in from my study of eastern art (both of which I thought more interesting than their predecessor, Hinduism). Why the heck Scientology is not down there with Jehovah’s Witness, I’ll never know.

As to Unitarian Universalism: if I thought the ultimate truth was a retired badger suffering from halitosis and named Schwartz, the test would still read 100% for that faith, so there! :-)

Why Scientology isn’t at the bottom along with Jehovah’s Witness I’ll never know.

Can anyone (answering legitimately) out-pagan me?
