Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

If you haven't already done this, try the Belief-O-Matic at Beliefnet. The top one or two religions you get might be expected, but you'll be surprised at the order in which other religions are listed for you. ^-^

I just tried it. That was fun. The first surprise was Scientology, which came in at number 13 (53%). I think it's bogus that they included Scientology here, since they didn't ask any questions about aliens.

Interestingly, given the topic of this diary, Orthodox Judaism and Islam are tied at 22 and 23 (26%).

Heh, my top three were Unitarian Universalism (100%), Liberal Quakers (96%) and Secular Humanism (95%).

Yeah, I've taken it a couple of times and both times got Neopagan (100%) and Unitarian (I think that one was 99%).

I took this or similar ones a number of times, but all I remember is that often some light theism or religion (UU) came up top. Now:

  1.     Unitarian Universalism  (100%)
  2.     Secular Humanism (98%)
  3.     Theravada Buddhism (95%)
  4.     Liberal Quakers  (84%)
  5.     Neo-Pagan (77%)
  6.     Nontheist (73%)

Heh. Various Christian(-origin) sects (beyond UU and liberal Quakers) range from 66% to 14% (Roman Catholics come in at 16%), Reform Judaism is 50%, the Orthodox variety 23%, 'Islam' (which one?) 21%.

Interesting (and perhaps not too surprising) that Secular Humanism and Unitarian Universalism would be in the top three for the lot of us.
