Perhaps odd, being as this is on the heels of my previous thread in here about politics, but I thought it might be interesting to find out this stuff too. I know you're mostly all a bunch of dirty atheists, but what ELSE are you? :D
Unfortunately, I don't think a fancy graph could be made of this information, but you can still paste your results in this thread.
Belief-o-Matic Quiz (http://www.beliefnet.com/Entertainment/Quizzes/BeliefOMatic.aspx)
It's a pretty old quiz, and you've probably done it before (maybe even on the AGS forums, although I couldn't find it), but do it again anyhow!

This test doesn't make a good thread I think. Who cares to read other's percentages? Maybe if you post only lowest and highest result it'll work?
What I find funny is that I never heard of Baha'i Faith(1st. 100%), and I label myself as Roman Chatolic (25th. 39%).

It seems I'm a cross-breed between Unitarian Universalism (100%), Secular Humanism (90%) and Neo-Pagan (85%) and I come from an Orthodox background (15% Eastern Orthodox).
The first two I get, but how the bloody hell does Neo-Paganism factor into this? Is it because my country is still in the 1600s? Is it because I'm part-vampire?!
Very fun quiz though, and very revealing as well, nice find, Babar! :)

Jehovah's Witness averages pretty low, judging from the results.
I think it's more a matter of (as I said) loads of people here being dirty atheists :P.
The dirty atheist package seems remarkably similar for everyone. You get Secular Humanism and Unitarian Universalism as your first two, followed by Nontheist, Neo-Pagan and some kind of Buddhism (generally Theravada) in some sort of order.
EVERYBODY is a Liberal Quaker :D.

Quiz+religion.
Dualnames prepares for the flaming.
<Flaming initialized....>
I find it very strange to read "secular humanism" in that long list of religions...
This expression is marrying a trend of philosophy (humanism) with a choice of society organization (secularism)
None of those 2 items has anything to do with religions, as opposed to the rest of the list.
I spot the same sort of confusion in labelling "secualr humanism" a religion, as when I read in other places that "atheism is a religion" -- which is clearly also a paradox. Believers seem to fail understanding the complete incompatibility here, seeing everything through the perspective of religion.
I imagine they said Secular Humanism as opposed to Christian Humanism. Perhaps non-religious Humanism would have been more appropriate. The 'atheism is a religion' claim also annoys me, but I'm not sure this is an instance of it.
Well you could argue then that zero is not a number, athesim is a definition of faith, although not religion per say (since it's not "an institution" it does not obide by any specific standards)... The abscence of God and institution to interpret God or similar forms of belief systems and instituions I still consider a part of the world of religion.
Lately, I'm more prone to saying I'm agnostic than an atheist, leaves some breathing room. ;D Main stream organized religions still seem pretentious and kind of uneeded, and my moral compass might not be divine, but I still think I do the right thing when it matters and I have guilt of my own. The idea of somebody acting as a middleman between a person and the divine, and usually profiting from it, just sounds wrong even when I say it, let alone stop to think about it. I'm mostly talking about catholicisim here, since this is what I'm most exposed to in my country.
On the other hand a lot of far eastern religions/life philosophies like budhism and similar are very tempting and if more people were like that, world would be a better place to live in, not something you could say about christians, muslims etc. Just my 2 cents for the flame war.

Atheism may be anything you want, but not a religion.
Also, in your (flawed) comparison, atheism wouldn't be zero, but the empty set ;-P

You're right. To be more accurate, I didn't say it was an instance of it. I just meant it's the same
kind of confusion.

Yes, "non-religious humanism" would have been more appropriate. Even more appropriate would have been "non-religious" (full stop) => Indeed, since the question is "which of these religions is yours?" there should be an answer "none" (as opposed to some weird fancy answer that mixes unrelated different things as I described in my first post).

Fair enough, but why is it a flawed comparison?
No quiz of this type is perfect and this one is even less perfect than some others.
However, what I find interesting is that this quiz puts the beliefs about the existence of some kind of supernatural, the genesis of the world, about what happens after death, morality, human psychology and how society should be organized all in one package (so to speak), whereas these issues are clearly connected only for people who believe in a personal, all-unifying God/wayshower, or for extreme materialists who don't believe in any other "connections" than purely mechanical ones.
So for more varied and less absolute beliefs this test gives interesting results, but doesn't represent any real connection of your beliefs to some of the most popular religions. It's more of a "What kind of flower you are?" test in those cases.
My results are pretty mixed I think:
1. Unitarian Universalism (100%)
2. Theravada Buddhism (95%)
3. Secular Humanism (93%)
4. Mahayana Buddhism (92%)
5. Neo-Pagan (90%)
6. Liberal Quakers (89%)
7. New Age (85%)

Well, it's not a "how can we divide your person in these religions"-percentage (which would be inappropriate since many religions overlap), but a "how much of each of these religions is in you"-percentage, so I don't see a problem with that in particular.
EDIT: flower-quiz:
"You Are a Canna - You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets in the way of what other people think. You are proud of yourself and your accomplishments and you enjoy letting people know that."
I've accomplished being a Canna! Am I good or what!? 8)
Also, in the belief quiz I'm the typical dirty atheist with Secular Humanism on top and probably Jehovah's Wittnesses at the bottom.

Ascovel gave a good conclusion of the debate :) So I don't want to go into a argument, I'm just answering by courtesy. It's flawed for the reason I mentionned (it wouldn't be zero but the empty set, that is, the
absence of religion is not a religion in itself).

Your Results
The top score on the list below represents the faith that Belief-O-Matic, in its less than infinite wisdom, thinks most closely matches your beliefs. However, even a score of 100% does not mean that your views are all shared by this faith, or vice versa.
Belief-O-Matic then lists another 26 faiths in order of how much they have in common with your professed beliefs. The higher a faith appears on this list, the more closely it aligns with your thinking.

I seem to be included in the dirty atheist package. I would however like to state that I am a passive-agressive anti-theist.
All religion is wrong. You shall only worship me. ;D

This quiz is of course severely flawed; I deliberately chose "Not Applicable" even when I could have chosen e.g. "Agree" or "Disagree" and still get 24% Liberal Protestant.
If I had to design this I'd scratch a religion completely off the list as soon as the participant doesn't agree or believe with/in one facet/tenet.
In most cases this would probably result in emptiness, in which case my analysis would be "You either have no idea about your alleged faith or don't agree with it, time to ditch it, don't you think?"

I've quite unexpectedly found out that I'm Echinacea. "You are a health conscious person, both your health and the health of others. You know all about the health benefits and dangers of the world around you."
I expected to be either a tumbleweed or poison oak. How pleasant to find that this old world is still full of surprises.
Wow Khris...how did you manage that? ;D
I chose the most atheistic of responses I could think of, and I still go nowhere the number of 0%s you did.
I think you are understanding this quiz the wrong way, actually. I mean we all (I hope) know what we believe. We won't be expecting something else to show up at the top, although it's funny when it does. The remainder are the interesting ones, showing how far we agree with tenets and viewpoints of other religions we wouldn't have thought outselves connected with. For example, I'm certainly not a jew in the tradtional sense (and only a "Reformed Jew" if you REALLY stretch the meaning of reformed :P).
EDIT:
Actually, if I Not Applicabled EVERYTHING, I got the following percentages, with 0% for everything else:
1. Nontheist (100%)
2. Secular Humanism (100%)
3. Unitarian Universalism (61%)
4. Liberal Quakers (38%)
5. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (33%)
6. Neo-Pagan (19%)
So I guess they're really taking a liberal interpretation of Liberal Christian :D
For the first two questions I increased the importance but later on didn't any longer. I guess it slightly skewed the percentages.
I was sort of joking, I do understand what the quiz is about. It's still very flawed though.
