Obviously I scored as a theist. I also learned that the questionaire does not work for theists. My second highest score is in Militant Atheism! eh...because the questions are in reverse mode for theists. Besides, they are tricky questions. If you ask someone whether they like to discuss religion, that doesn't always mean they are militant, just interested, eclectic, whatever.
Anyone know where there is a Christian version?

[abe]What the concept of militant aheist means to me is someone with a fundamentalist fervor for pushing atheism. This brings it close to theism. I also think this test is meant in jest. [/abe]
Evangelizing atheists, yes.
It is an overly simplified test, as were the Christain counterparts I checked out. They were actually worse, as generally two of four choices would not even make you Christain anymore.
I don't consider myself militant. I did answer TRUE to the questions about whether I like to discuss or bring up religion. I hope everyone else here is at least guilty of that much, or I will have to add an Honest Atheist category.

Maybe you could find one or more that you like, and start a new "What kind of Christian are you?" topic.
I found a bunch too after I posted.
One I was 100% Eastern Orthodox, and RCC, with Mormon as a close follower.
One I was Conservative, and automatically thrown into a category of non-Bible reader, or Bible-ignorer...obviously a quiz put out by the anti-Catholic sects.
One I was J. Falwell Christian!
I will have to look again to decide if any were worthy enough of a thread.

Re: Type of Christian quizes
I think Belief-O-Matic was the one where I was Eastern Orthodox. Not surprisingly, secular humanist was last on the list.
In the other I scored as a questioning believer. Having doubts about the particulars, they say.
