Mainline to liberal Christian, U-U, Baha'i' (oddly enough), and scoring higher than some others - Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!
 

Heretic!
 

Orothodox Quaker 100%
Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestant 98%
Bahai Faith 85%

Orothodox Quaker?? Maybe I didn't understand the questions...:)

Secular Humanism 100%
Unitarian Universalism 93%
Nontheist 82%

Reading how they define Unitarian Universalism, how can they actually call that a belief structure? Seems to me there's no structure at all and pretty much any liberal person's beliefs would make them Unitarian Universalists!
 

1. Liberal Quakers (100%)
2. Orthodox Quaker (97%)
3. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (97%)
4. Unitarian Universalism (86%)
5. Theravada Buddhism (79%)
6. Neo-Pagan (77%)

Myself, I tend to self-identify as a neo-Amish hippy freak.
 

Hey, I came out as a U-U! Go figure.*

It reminds me of when Homer Simpson became a missionary, and in one of those rare moments when he actually has a legitimate insight he said, " . . . but not the Unitarians. If that's the one true faith, I'll eat my hat."

* It is possible that I made this up due to lack of time to finish the quiz.
 

Ha! Wise, Homer is.
 

So my fellow Liberal Quakers when shall we gather and seek our inter-light together?

1. Liberal Quakers (100%)
2. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (90%)

2. Liberal Quakers (97%)
3. Neo-Pagan (89%)
4. Secular Humanism (87%)

7. Mahayana Buddhism (81%)
8. Theravada Buddhism (79%)
9. Taoism (72%)
10. Reform Judaism (69%)
 

Now that is an intersesting concept, take the test as though you were 18 years old and see how much you have changed.

Me at 18:
1. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (100%)
2. Orthodox Quaker (94%)
3. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (94%)
4. Bahá'í Faith (89%)
5. Seventh Day Adventist (88%)
6. Orthodox Judaism (78%)
7. Islam (75%)
8. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (74%)
9. Jehovah's Witness (68%)
10. Liberal Quakers (67%)

Now me again at old fart level:
1. Liberal Quakers (100%)
2. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (90%)
3. Unitarian Universalism (89%)
4. Reform Judaism (84%)
5. Neo-Pagan (80%)
6. New Age (76%)
7. Orthodox Quaker (75%)
8. Bahá'í Faith (72%)
9. Mahayana Buddhism (66%)
10. Theravada Buddhism (64%)

Well my Christian side has flipped within my top ten. More liberal (that is a given as you grow older).
My Bahai element has slipped down from 4 to 8.
My Quaker bent has gone from 10th to first place (that's what happens when you spend too much time in war zones), and a lot of Buddhism has entered my soul(too much time spent in Asia).
But as a Jew I've gone from Orthodox to Reform (I lay that to the influence of my Jewish buddy Greenburg who was strict Orthodox but became otherwise). I have also lost my Jehovah Witness tendencies(which I didn't know I had) and picked up some of the Unitarian theology (which I don't know where it is).
 

Dan as an 18-year-old:

1. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (100%)
2. Seventh Day Adventist (91%)
3. Eastern Orthodox (89%)
4. Roman Catholic (89%)
5. Orthodox Quaker (88%)
6. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (62%)

Dan as an 18 year old would object strongly to being so closely placed to a 7th Day Adventist, Roman Catholic and Liberal Christians. Dan as an 18 year old would not know what to make of Eastern Orthodox or Orthodox Quakers...
 

This was a very difficult excersize for me. I had to wrestle with some real issues. I was surprised by the out come and also looking at my top 3 or 4 compared to yours.

1. Neo-Pagan (100%)
2. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (97%)
3. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (94%)
4. Liberal Quakers (93%)
5. Unitarian Universalism (93%)

mr bbs.. we may have to pursue some of these questions in private sometime.
 

Not sure you can really answer as you believed when you were 18.. But I tried it...

Amazing:
1. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (100%)
2. Jehovah's Witness (95%)

mr bbs
 

100% Mormon
98% Mainline to Conservative Christian
93% Mainline to Liberal Christian
 

How is it that everyone here got more liberal, when conventional wisdom says peokle get more conservative as they get older?
 

Maybe the definition of liberal changed, or came to mean something else. I know lots of Christians who would consider themselves "conservative" who have been very active in social programs, religious and secular, for years, and yet somehow that seems to mean they have a "liberal" bent.

CW is often wrong.
If tolerance equals liberal, then I have found the older people get the more tolerant they are. They don't have time and energy to be otherwise. The exceptions however are generally the ones who vote most often.
 

Or perhaps CW is correct, but "conservatism" has taken a turn towards the ugly, sometimes being opposed to actual conservative values?
