Interesting religious test...

[Salanthos]

I found this interesting test. It asks questions about your religious beleifs and shows the religions which share those beleifs, by percentage shared. It's pretty interesting.

My Results:
I classify myself as eclectic Wiccan or Pagan, and Hindu. I scored really well on pagan, but hindu was low - I flunked social practices and salvation (I tend to be less traditional). :rolleyes:

You know the one thing that sort of caught me off guard? The question if you believe that meditation/prayer/ceremony should be prefferred to conventional healing/scientific methods.

I chose no, but it's a great question.

[Agaliha]

I noticed that even though I pressed agnostic/athiest answers when I was going a test of this quiz, when I chose "revere the Earth" it automatically made Neo-Paganism as number 1.
So I don't really pay much attention to this test anymore, I don't feel it's accurate. I guess to them the people that don't fit into a group are automatically Neo-Pagan...

That's true ... in all these kind of tests, you know that if you see any question that mentions 'goddesses' or nature, then that'll tick the Paganism box ... same as you know that, if it just talks about 'God' singular, then they probably won't have thought of Paganism when setting the questions ... I give answers that contradict themselves just to see if it confuses them.
