Mommy Raised a Jew

Who knew?

My parents are Methodist but I was pretty much raised non-denominational Protestant. I thought that I tended towards the neotheist end of the religious spectrum, in spite of the dangers traditional Christians fear.


And yet, when I took the Belief-O-Matic quiz at Beliefnet, I find that I belong in a different category altogether. Anybody got a Hebrew for Dummies book?


My results:

1. Reform Judaism (100%)
2. Sikhism (94%)
3. Bahá’í Faith (90%)
4. Orthodox Judaism (85%)
5. Islam (78%)
6. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (76%)
7. Liberal Quakers (74%)
8. Unitarian Universalism (69%)
9. Neo-Pagan (64%)
10. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (60%)
11. New Thought (57%)
12. New Age (56%)
13. Mahayana Buddhism (55%)
14. Jainism (54%)
15. Scientology (52%)
16. Hinduism (49%)
17. Taoism (45%)
18. Eastern Orthodox (45%)
19. Roman Catholic (45%)
20. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (43%)
21. Theravada Buddhism (42%)
22. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (42%)
23. Orthodox Quaker (42%)
24. Secular Humanism (37%)
25. Jehovah’s Witness (36%)
26. Seventh Day Adventist (34%)
27. Nontheist (26%)


Also, according to Beliefnet’s What’s Your Spiritual Type quiz, I am an Old-fashioned Seeker — “Happy with my religion but searching for the right expression of it.”

Good. One should never stop seeking truth. That search led me away from liberalism!

    Yeah, I scored pretty much the same. What bothers me most is how high I scored for Scientology. Way higher than I thought. #16
