Sure, it's superficial, but it's fun, and some of the questions are pretty thoughtful. Give it a shot, and post your results!

Here are mine:

1. Neo-Paganism (100%)
2. Hinduism (82%)
3. Sikhism (79%)
4. New Age (79%)
5. Mahayana Buddhism (74%)
6. Unitarian Universalism (70%)
7. Bahá'í (66%)
8. Liberal Quaker (64%)
9. Reform Judaism (64%)
10. Jainism (63%)
11. Scientology (63%)
12. New Thought (62%)
13. Orthodox Judaism (59%)
14. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (48%)
15. Islam (48%)
16. Theravada Buddhism (48%)
17. Taoism (44%)
18. Liberal Protestant (39%)
19. Secular Humanism (37%)
20. Orthodox Quaker (29%)
21. Eastern Orthodox (28%)
22. Latter-day Saint (Mormon) (28%)
23. Roman Catholic (28%)
24. Conservative Protestant (26%)
25. Atheism and Agnosticism (21%)
26. Jehovah's Witness (18%)
27. Seventh Day Adventist (12%)

I suspect that "Jehovah's Witness 18%" accounts for the presence of those annoying people who occasionally show up on our doorstep. "We know that 18% of you is with us--we must only claim the rest for the Watchtower!"

From what i know of American History.
They founded philadelphia - can't spell it.
It was all about brotherly love, freedom of speech no slaves etc.
Basically common day human rights people back in the 1600 and 1700s.
They came to the US for religious freedom and stuff.

Check up on that website, by selecting the hotlink under Quaker in your answer. It will give you a short list of Quaker beliefs, and a little background. I think there may also be a few links in there.

I like how the questionnaire gives us the opportunity to rate the importance or priority of the question. I’ve never seen that before. For example, I disagreed that Divorce and/or remarriage should be restricted or punished or condemned, but I can see how a religion can play an important role in encouraging people to work out their problems rather than leap to an easy divorce, so I rated the question low.

The results pretty much confirmed what I always thought about myself: I’m a neo-paganistic Unitarian with a bit of Secular Humanism thrown in for confusion’s sake.
