And the Belief-O-Matic says...
...my personal beliefs most closely match:
1. Eastern Orthodox (100%)
2. Roman Catholic (100%)
3. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (97%)
4. Seventh Day Adventist (92%)
5. Orthodox Quaker (88%)

7. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (79%)
8. Islam (74%)
9. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (70%)
10. Baha'i Faith (63%)
Officially, I am #3 (Evangelical Lutheran). Before I converted, I briefly considered #6. My parents were both raised #2 (lapsed). My Ukrainian immigrant relatives were either #1 or something like Maronite, my Swedish immigrant relatives #3, and my step-father is #10. Sort of a Heinz-57 of religious belief.
Last on the list:
26. Secular Humanism (12%)
27. Taoism (10%)
Nothing surprising there.

Huh.
I am way out of touch with my religion's doctrine, or I'm reading the questions wrong, or the test is slightly askew. I'm guessing askew since I'm 95% both liberal and conservative Christian Protestant.
But the Quakers? Really?
I'm guessing askew.
One or two of the questions were irritatingly vague, especially the one about social programs. Did it mean government-run or church-run? Two very different things.
My husband also got Quaker as his #1, which strikes me as rather odd given his views on pacifism. I'm guessing you're not a pacifist either, Russ.
BTW, I've known a few Quakers, and they tend to be strange people. I was screamed at and almost assaulted by one when I showed him my NRA card. Something about those silent meetings must make them a bit crazy.
"Did it mean government-run or church-run? Two very different things."
Yeah, there was a couple of like that. Define the terms better, please, and my answers could easily change.
"I'm guessing you're not a pacifist either, Russ. "
Let me check... nope, still have a gun safe with 2 rifles, 1 pistol and revolver. Oh, and still male :)
I have never met a Quaker. Seems like "pacifism" is a misnomer for them...
Uhhh...
Not as far off as I was thinking while going through the questions (I'm actually #3, although I seriously annoy some of my fellows).
In particular, I was tripping over some that assumed that what you did was critically important (sounds likes works to me), rather than that those actions should be a result of one's relationship to God.
And I think I know where the pacifism angle comes up, there being no differentiation between strict pacifism, and not initiating violence. Lots of 1-AOs in my personal experience, for example, almost no 1-Os. (Father served as naval corpsman in WW2, several classmates drafted for Viet Nam served as medics, including awards of Silver Star and Bronze Star as non-combatant medics in combat situations, or in Army "White Coat" program).

I think it needs a bit of tuning.
