I answered "None of the above" or "Not applicable" to everything.

1. Bahá'í Faith (100%)
2. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (100%)
3. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (100%)
4. Jehovah's Witness (100%)
5. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (100%)
6. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (66%)
7. Liberal Quakers (50%)

I wonder what the Conservative Christians will think of the company they're keeping.

Ringo's results were not included in this--he was testing the system, and ended up with a bunch of religious choices being equal, and at 100%.

I suspect that means that the author(s) of the test don't know anything about Baha'is, Christian Scientists, Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses - i.e. they lumped them into the "none of the above" category to appear inclusive.

Here are my more "honest" results (i.e. I read the questions this time):

1. Secular Humanism (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism (99%)
3. Liberal Quakers (88%)
4. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (83%)
5. Theravada Buddhism (71%)
6. Nontheist (68%)
7. Neo-Pagan (68%)
8. Bahá'í Faith (55%)
9. New Age (53%)
10. Taoism (50%)

Now I see why its so hard to get you to agree with anything I say.

I agree with you every time you're right.

I think I could get just about any result I wanted from this test by judicious choice of a few answers.

Any foot-washing Baptists willing to give it a go?

In my never-ending effort to skew the results of the test, I took it again, using my best-guess "conservative" answers. (I'm afraid a persistent grip on reality hampered me on some questions.)
