No importance in the ranking is given to liturgy or tradition or style of worship. No distinction is made between different understandings of what spiritual practices are, do, or signify. And so on.<br /><br />I know enough about the various religions beliefs and practices to know that the order the survey assigns below the #1 slot is not correct. Non-Theism doesn't come in until #11. And Reform Judaism at #15. No other form of Judaism is included even though I know enough about comparative beliefs to place Reform Judaism in my top 5 and some other forms of Judaism in the top 10. Some religions I find rather distasteful are placed higher on the list than others that I respect.<br /><br />So I guess my advice would be: take the test...but take it with a grain of salt. It is not unlikely that a religion that would work for you is in your top five. But the order may be significantly wrong. And religions you greatly respect or use as a frequent resource may fall much farther down the list that religions that make you queasy.Paul Oakleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17426789386840488470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647562459433740241.post-1145842486830504882010-03-14T08:46:30.879-04:002010-03-14T08:46:30.879-04:00I took the Belief-O-Matic quiz after I had attende...I took the Belief-O-Matic quiz after I had attended the UU Church of Fort Lauderdale a few times and discovered the same results - UU # 1 and Quaker #2.
