in the last daze
It would be interesting to know what belief came in dead last for you as well.
Mine was 'Jehovah's Witness'... which reminds me of a joke!
Q. What do you get when you cross a Jehovah's Witness with a Unitarian?
A. Someone who knocks on your door and asks you what it's all about.
Edited by Archer Opterix, : Added joke.

Re: Personally, I was shocked
WK,
I noticed your heading after I saw your list. Why were you shocked?

categories
There are some omissions I would like to ask them about.
Under Buddhism, why Mahayana and Theravada but not Zen?
Under Taoism, why not differentiate philosophical Taoism and religious Taoism? The two yield very different answers about existence of deity, judgment and afterlife.
I'd like to see Deism and Transcendentalism as their own categories, though these philosophies are surely incorporated in Unitarian, Liberal Quaker and Secular Humanism.
Where are Tenriko and Rastafarianism? They belong on any list that already includes Scientology.

Bumpin' with the Baptists
This thread could use a little starboard ballast.
Any foot-washing Baptists willing to give it a go?

Re: Bali H'ai faith
AnswersInGenitals:
1. Circular Humongism (375%)
2. Universal Eunuchism (100%)
3. Literal Earthquakerism (7...8%)
4. Bali Hai Faith (63%)
5. Unduism (61%)
6. JaneEyreism (58%)
7. Nonexist (0%)
8. Roaming Cabalism (-12%)
My understanding is that religion 1 attracts the obese and is the worlds fastest growing religion, religion 2 died out after one generation, 3 is primarily centered in California, and 8 consists of itinerant mystical Jews.
And in 4 you can get your calling any time, any day.
