Subject: Unsure of the right religious path..take a quiz
After reading bad things in your life, I decided to find a possible answer to my own questions.
Inspired by Rocknrollfan, I Found a website that asks you questions, then matches a religion that is closest to your beliefs.
Even though I was raised Catholic, my match was Hinduism by 100%. guess I will be doing some reading.
NOTE: I do not mean any disrespect to any faith or religion in which this may offend. This is only for those who question their faith.

Also, my friend is a Wiccan witch which is covered under the "neo-pagan" term, which she also says is "waaaaaaay too general" since a neo-pagan is anything that's not strictly in the Bible.
She also says that Christians invented Satan, while pagan religions (like witchcraft) don't really believe in Satan or any "evil" god.
I may have gotten some of the jargon wrong but the point is that neo-pagans shouldn't be called "anti-christ" just because they're different.
Subject: Re: Unsure of the right religious path..take a qui
Thank you for straightening up my confusion Ricecube.
I used to be into witchcraft as a teen, but my mom pulled me out of it.
I would never knock down anyone for their beliefs. That's what makes us all unique. ;D

...I'd love to know how non-theist came in at number three, rather than as a 100% match: they must think that all moral or altruistic behaviour comes from some kind of spiritual belief system (which of course is what major religions try and con us into believing), when a truly rational person can quite easily see the benefits in altruistic behaviour.
What I'm totally incredulous about is that number 4 - all my (relevant) answers were along the lines of "THERE IS NO GOD"... so there's an 81% match with liberal protestants, is there?
Sorry, this quiz is complete b*****s.

Far from it. I am a witch. That means that I practice the Wicca religion. Wicca is an Earth based religion. It is centered around the cycles of the Earth and Moon. I believe that the creator is a Goddess (as opposed to a God). I do not believe that a devil (or Satan) even exist. I have one commandment (for lack of a better word) "Do what you will, harm none." It is really based on ancient pagan religions-thus it is called "neo-pagan." But that is only one pagan religion. There are many others. The ancient religions of the Native-Americans are also pagans. They worship Father Sky and Mother Earth.
Just because someone doesn't believe that the Bible is the word of God, doesn't mean they are evil. I hold my religious beliefs just as you do. They just happen to be different beliefs.

Slightly accurate, although it could've been better. I consider myself an agnostic, and was kind of suprised to see "Nontheist" at #12.

I'm just wondering, it says that I'm Liberal Christian Protestant, and that seems to be fairly accurate because I do believe in Jesus, but I also believe that many non-Christian faiths hold some truth or value. For instance, I believe that most people who are saved go to Heaven after life, but I believe that there are a few who will be incarnated. Does that mean, my path is really Unitarian Universalism?

From your description, my answers were the same as or very similar to yours, but my results differed. Universalist/Unitarian 100%, secular humanism 98%, liberal Quaker 48%, Theravada Buddhist 46%, mainline to liberal protestant 44%, and, at number 6, non-theist 44%.
I particularly liked how they lumped together "don't believe, don't know or don't care" as one answer on every question. Rather a big difference between those three answers.
My assessment of their assessment is the same as your assessment.
