1. Secular Humanism (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism (94%)
3. Liberal Quakers (78%)
4. Neo-Pagan (78%)
5. Theravada Buddhism (74%)


But I think these results are due mostly to "Belief-O-Matic" treating all Mahayana Buddhism as some sort of polytheistic East Asian paganism.

A few strange questions, like the one asking whether elective abortion should be "accepted" (do they mean simply legal? or are they talking about accepting it as an ordinary method of birth control?).

Anyway.

1. Mahayana Buddhism (100%)
2. Theravada Buddhism (96%)
3. Unitarian Universalism (86%)
4. Taoism (85%)
5. Neo-Pagan (84%)

The last couple of times I've taken the test I'm one hundred percent Theravada Buddhist and usually ninety-eight percent Unitarian Universalist. The Mahayana is almost always rather down the list, behind secular humanism; I assume because of their methodology that includes a penchant for magical inclinations that don't work for me.

Mahayana Buddhism - 100%
Hinduism - 97%

I found the structure of the questionaire flawed - there were multiple questions that I thought could be best answered with "choose all that are valid."
