Aside from the fact that
(1) there is no category or allowance for deist or mild theist positions
(2) there is a HEAVY bias to question relating to christian beliefs - some seem to require choosing between 3 christian variations and 1 atheist position and 1 none of the above ....
1. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (100%)
2. Liberal Quakers (97%)
3. Unitarian Universalism (94%)
4. Theravada Buddhism (91%)
5. Mahayana Buddhism (90%)
6. Taoism (81%)
7. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (77%)
8. Neo-Pagan (76%)
9. New Age (69%)
10. Bah' Faith (67%)
11. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (62%)
12. New Thought (62%)
13. Secular Humanism (61%)
14. Sikhism (58%)
15. Hinduism (57%)
16. Reform Judaism (55%)
17. Jainism (49%)
18. Scientology (49%)
19. Orthodox Quaker (45%)
20. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (44%)
21. Jehovah's Witness (41%)
22. Nontheist (37%)
23. Seventh Day Adventist (20%)
24. Orthodox Judaism (14%)
25. Eastern Orthodox (13%)
26. Islam (13%)
27. Roman Catholic (13%)
My impression is that the first three are due purely to the bias in the questions.
And what's with all the last questions ending "should be fundamental" -- fundamentalist? fundamental to what?
sheesh.

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