    This is an online quiz which asks a number of questions about your beliefs and then lists how cloesly your beliefs fit in with various established systems of belief (about 25 or so with percentage scores)

    I found it interesting. I would have called myself agnostic, but found my highest scores were for unitarian universalism, a school of buddhism, and secular humanism.

    I did it too, but wont bother posting it as its much of the same. RC was second last too. Unitarian Universalism was top of my list, Id never heard of it before, it sounds like a religious catch-all.

    I got Unitarian Universalism as number 1 which is funny as I've just started attending that church and didn't even hear about it until last week. I should have done that test sooner.
