Quiz: What religion are you?

Ok I got through the test, and it said for me:

Reform Judaism (100%) I never would have even guessed that one.

My second place one was Unitarian Universalism (96%)

My third place one was Liberal Quakers (92%), which I always thought matched my beliefs the best.

[Rayann]

I got
100% Secular Humanists



Belief in Deity
Not considered important. Most Humanists are atheists or agnostics.


• Incarnations
Same as above.


• Origin of Universe and Life
The scientific method is most respected as the means for revealing the mysteries of the origins of the universe and life.


• After Death
An afterlife or spiritual existence after death is not recognized.


• Why Evil?
No concept of “evil.” Reasons for wrongdoing are explored through scientific methods, e.g. through study of sociology, psychology, criminology.


• Salvation
No concept of afterlife or spiritual liberation or salvation. Realizing ones personal potential and working for the betterment of humanity through ethical consciousness and social works are considered paramount, but from a naturalistic rather than supernatural standpoint.


• Undeserved Suffering
No spiritual reasons but rather a matter of human vulnerability to misfortune, illness, and victimization.


• Contemporary Issues
The American Humanist Association endorses elective abortion. Other contemporary views include working for equality for homosexuals, gender equality, a secular approach to divorce and remarriage, working to end poverty, promoting peace and nonviolence, and environmental protection.

[Twinplets]

I got a match of 100% for Orthodox Judaism, and 90% for Reform Judaism, which is probably pretty good since I am Jewish, and belong to a Conservative synagogue (for those who don't know, Conservative falls somewhere between Orthodox and Reform on a religious spectrum).

[bwsmom]

Well, my top two (both 100% matches) were:

1. Eastern Orthodox
2. Roman Catholic

Coming in at #3, with a 97% match, is the religion I partake in:

Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant

I wouldn't have guessed at the first two, but the third one was dead-on!!

-> Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (100%)

No surprise there at all!

Mayor, who NEVER would have guessed he would have ended up with those results earlier in life! Not in a million years... life is funny that way.

[3tbear]

OMG Naomi, did you realize we got exactly the same thing for the first three on that test? How cool is that?

WHAT ORTHODOX QUAKERS BELIEVE:

• Belief in Deity
There is a Trinity of the Father (God), the Son (Christ), and the Holy Spirit that comprises one God Almighty. God is personal and incorporeal.


• Incarnations
Jesus Christ is God's only incarnation. God is manifest within all as the light. Jesus possessed the light to the highest degree and is "the Light" within.


• Origin of Universe and Life
The most orthodox Quakers hold to the authority of the Bible, and the book of Genesis--that God created all in less than seven days and less that 10,000 years ago. But many would maintain that a biblical "day" is not a literal 24 hours.


• After Death
Most orthodox Quakers believe in direct reward and punishment, heaven and ****, the second coming of Christ, and resurrection of the dead (similar to conservative Christian view).


• Why Evil?
Some Orthodox Quakers adhere to similar beliefs as conservative Christians--belief in original sin and Satan. Many believe that lack of awareness of God's divine light within, or rebellion against it, is the cause of wrongdoing, and that alienation from God leaves one vulnerable to temptation or Satan.


• Salvation

Many believe that lack of awareness of God's divine light within, or rebellion against it, is the cause of wrongdoing, and that alienation from God leaves one vulnerable to temptation or Satan.


• Salvation
Some Friends (the formal name of the group) churches include rites of baptism and communion, but sacraments to God are most often considered to arise from inward experiences, a personal encounter with God, rather than church ritual. Salvation is found internally through union with Christ, the divine Light within all. Many Quaker churches, e.g. evangelical, believe similarly to Conservative Protestant, that salvation is a free gift from God, with faith, independent of good works. Yet moral behavior and good works are viewed as essential to showing faith and obedience to God. Good works, such as humanitarian service, social justice, and peace efforts, are an expression of Christian love. Simplicity and humility are viewed as essential to living a Christian life.


• Undeserved Suffering
The most orthodox Quakers maintain that Satan causes suffering. Suffering is allowed by God as part of His divine will and plan. Quakers focus on reducing human suffering, especially that caused by social injustice or violence.


• Contemporary Issues
Social-betterment programs and nonviolence are fundamental to Quakerism. Some Orthodox Quaker churches are very accepting of homosexuality, and others condemn it as contrary to God's will.


I'd say that sums up my beliefs very well!!

Same as a few years ago... very cool. I was raised Orthodox Judaism - then leaned towards Conservative - and ended up Reform in belief and spirit. Non-practicing as far as going to a facility to pray. But I do believe. Very interesting site.

What Reform Judaism believes:

• Belief in Deity
Beliefs vary among adherents, including that of nonbelief or questioning belief, and all are welcome and considered personal, but the official stance is that there is one God Almighty--Creator, all-powerful, ever-present, and all knowing--formless, incorporeal spirit.

• Incarnations
None, as only God is worshipped. Moses was the greatest of all prophets.

• Origin of Universe and Life
Most believe that Genesis is to be understood symbolically. God created and controls all phenomena revealed by modern science.

• After Death
Reform Jews believe in the world to come and a messianic age (but no individual Messiah). Personal beliefs in the details of afterlife are diverse, as there is no official position. Some believe in heaven and **** but only as states of consciousness; some believe in reincarnation; some believe God is all-forgiving; and some may not believe in an actual afterlife. Regardless, Judaism generally focuses on living a virtuous life, rather than working toward reward after death.

• Why Evil?
No original sin. Most often, Satan is interpreted symbolically to represent selfish desires that are inherent within all. God gave people free will, and people are responsible for their actions.

• Salvation
The main emphasis is on living the kit nono individual Messiah). Personal beliefs in the details of afterlife are diverse, as there is no official position. Some believe in heaven and **** but only as states of consciousness; some believe in reincarnation; some believe God is all-forgiving; and some may not believe in an actual afterlife. Regardless, Judaism generally focuses on living a virtuous life, rather than working toward reward after death.

• Why Evil?
No original sin. Most often, Satan is interpreted symbolically to represent selfish desires that are inherent within all. God gave people free will, and people are responsible for their actions.

• Salvation
The main emphasis is on living the kind of life that God commands, which will surely be rewarded if there is an afterlife. Most believe God is forgiving of all; there is no **** to which some are condemned. Salvation is achieved through faith and prayer to God, good works, concern for the earth and humanity, and behavior that does no harm to others. The extent to which one follows Jewish Law is an individual decision.

• Undeserved Suffering
God gave humans free will to feel pleasure and pain, and his purpose in allowing deep suffering of the innocent must be good even if mysterious. It is generally believed that God suffers along with the sufferer. More important than knowing why God allows suffering is to work to help those in need.

• Contemporary Issues
Judaism holds that human life begins upon f individual Messiah). Personal beliefs in the details of afterlife are diverse, as there is no official position.

• Contemporary Issues
Judaism holds that human life begins upon first breath, and Jewish law requires abortion if necessary to save the mother's life prior to birth. Most believe potential human life should never be terminated casually, but it is generally regarded as a personal decision, especially within the first 40 days of pregnancy. Homosexuality: Homosexuals are God's creation, and Jewish instruction is to love our neighbors as ourselves. Reform (and Conservative) Judaism have a long history of support for homosexual rights.
