Now This Is Disturbing

Just to match myself up against my weglogging compatriots, I took the religion test that everyone else has been taking. Here's how I came out:

1. Nontheist (100%)
2. Secular Humanism (100%)
3. Unitarian Universalism (92%)
4. Theravada Buddhism (75%)
5. Liberal Quakers (69%)
6. Neo-Pagan (65%)
7. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (58%)
8. Taoism (42%)
9. New Thought (42%)
10. Scientology (42%)
11. New Age (41%)
12. Bahá'í Faith (38%)
13. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (38%)
14. Eastern Orthodox (38%)
15. Islam (38%)
16.Orthodox Judaism (38%)
17. Reform Judaism (38%)
18. Roman Catholic (38%)
19. Mahayana Buddhism (37%)
20. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (36%)
21. Sikhism (34%)
22. Hinduism (30%)
23. Jainism (30%)
24. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (27%)
25. Orthodox Quaker (27%)
26. Seventh Day Adventist (21%)
27. Jehovah's Witness (19%)

I'm disturbed because I feel very little political affinity for "secular humanists" and Unitarians. Most of the ones that I know are flaming liberals (in the modern, hijacked sense of the word--i.e., socialists).

Some of the questions were a little misleading. The one on abortion asked whether I thought that it was immoral (I do) but it didn't discuss whether or not it should be illegal (I think that it should be a state, not federal issue, i.e., I think that Roe v Wade was a flawed decision, regardless of my position on abortion).

Similarly, it asked if homosexuality is immoral (no, not in my opinion). I think that there may have been an implication that immoral things should also be illegal, but it wasn't clear.

Anyway, if nothing else, it shows that it's possible to have a "left-wing" religious profile, and still think that Bill Clinton is a sociopathic and corrupt dissembler. Of course, Christopher Hitchens has already proven that...
