Hmmm.

My top ten were:

1. Unitarian Universalism (100%)
2. Secular Humanism (94%)
3. Liberal Quakers (93%)
4. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (83%)
5. Neo-Pagan (80%)
6. New Age (77%)
7. Theravada Buddhism (68%)
8. Taoism (66%)
9. Mahayana Buddhism (64%)
10. Reform Judaism (64%)

Reasonably accurate really - if pushed really hard, I normally describe myself as an ultra-liberal Protestant with strong Quaker tendencies.

I find questionnaires to be interesting, not by what they ask, but by how they ask the questions and the limits to the answers they allow.

... which I'm not, really ... but still, I scored only 6% for Jehova's Witnesses, so I must be doing something right!

For what it's worth:

1. Secular Humanism (100%) I agree with this ranking.
2. Unitarian Universalism (99%) I agree with this one too.
3. Liberal Quakers (93%)
4. Neo-Pagan (91%)
5. New Age (81%)
6. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (74%) I strongly disagree with this ranking, since I do not even totally accept that the person commonly called Jesus even existed, adn if he did exist, I certainly don't believe he was in any was divine.
