I came out 100% Neo-Pagan, and 92% Mahayana Buddhism. I was so happy I sacrificed a goat to Pan. So much for my Southern Baptist upbringing (Mainstream Protestant only 56%). But if I could have figured out how to make Taoist come out on top, I would have cheated.

Thanks, Dante,

What were third and fourth? Looks like Dante's keeping track.

>(Mainstream Protestant only 56%).

There were two different categories that you could mean by this.

Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants
Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant

I'm guessing the 56% was for the first one, and you got a much lower
percentage on the second.

But if I could have figured out how to make Taoist come out on top, I would have cheated. A lot of the questions are biased towards the Abrahamic religions, so I'm not sure they'd spot a real Taoist. Of course, Taosim the religion isn't as cool as Taoism the philosophy.

I'm with Aaron and Kalle -- Secular Humanist first, then Unitarian. And Orthodox Judaism and Roman Catholic at the bottom. I forgot the rest.
