what’s your true religion? a quiz
I’m 100 per cent Neo-Pagan and 96 per cent New Age. So says the results from the Belief-0-Matic test on Beliefnet.com that I just did.
I’m only 16 per cent Catholic…which might horrify my mother. I was raised Catholic, but didn’t go to a Catholic school…thank goodness. Mum and Dad, mercifully, didn’t like the draconican style of schooling (and couldn’t afford the fees). I’m least of all a Jehovah’s Witness.
Try the test out – 20 online questions. Breezy 10 minutes.
It got me thinking a little more consciously about what I really believe in. Actually, I didn’t think. My answers came out immediately.
I don’t believe in goddesses and gods, nor karma, except in a very organic sense of the word. But my beliefs allow for goddesses and gods and karma.
I believe everything makes sense as an infinite organism that emerges from the same conscious soup. My eyebrow hair, that ant, the grit of sand under my nail, are all merely different cellular expressions of the same energy and flow. Even a gloomy thought or a breeze – all energetic expressions, as valid and necessary as my fifth toe. And my left ovary.
I don’t believe right and wrong can exist. But I think that for us human beings they operate as good guides to steer us forward. Goodness, or curious “love” (which I think is the best word for it), primarily, is the driving force that moves us forward as “expressions”.
I believe in energy. We are just energy. Not matter. And so we attract and ebb and flow and steer toward and away from everything else, as we bob along through life. I believe in patterns of energy. These beliefs embrace science and they allow for weird happenstance…like “coincidences” and everything “the law of attraction” fans bang on about.
I believe we, as humans, can but find all this very amusing to witness, as we go about being these little expressions of infinite energy. I like thinking about it this way.
I believe that we just believe. Or we don’t. Our deep “knowing” informs our beliefs. They can’t be proven or argued. Just shared.
How do you believe?
I’m 100% a Liberal Quaker? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I very much believe in energy, that we are all affected by everyone and everything and I thought that this energy was intrinsically linked to karma, but after a couple of difficult years, this belief is faltering.
Interesting to note that despite these beliefs, according to the quiz, I’m 100% Secular Humanists.

Spot on for me Sarah, well shared, beautifully expressed……..’I believe everything makes sense as an infinite organism that emerges from the same conscious soup.’
Maybe not always conscious but soup takes on a new and lovely meaning for me…..

I’m 100% Unitarian Universalism… what the heck is that?
[Reply]
I am 100% Theravada Buddhism? The 98% Unitarian Universalism makes a little more sense. Still – strange results for a resolute agnostic. I believe in infinity, creativity, and science. The rest is unknowable.

What a great quiz! I am 100% Neo-Pagan as well as 93% Unitarian Universalism. I like the descriptions and can find myself agreeing with a great deal of what is said. Very enlightening, and good for those of us who feel as though we don’t completely agree with some of the major religions

Oh dear it came out with an error in the coding when it tried to give me results.
*resubmit*
1. Secular Humanism (100%)
2. Nontheist (89%)
Yes. Atheist FTW.

Pretty much the same as you actually, it’s ice to have it summed up so succinctly ^_^

Hahaha, I’m only 17% Catholic yet have been raised in a VERY religious family (my brother is a Catholic priest) where the Church and her rituals ruled our lives, both my parents would roll over in their graves if they only knew, they would be completely horrified.
I ended up being 100% Unitairan Universalism and 90% Neo-Pagan. This would appear to be reasonably accurate; my life experiences don’t lend well to the teachings of the mainstream Churches, nor do my beliefs about human and personal rights, and the role we play in creating our lives .
Great post Sarah, thanks.

hi Sarah
i’ve recently finished a booked called ‘The Holographic Universe’ by Michael Talbot. It was all about interconnectedness of energy, how everything in the Universe is one and the same. If you haven’t read it i think you might dig it

I am 100% Unitarian Universalism, which basically means “diverse beliefs”. Yep, that’s me alright.

It says I am a Liberal Quaker. 100%. I can wear that. But also a Taoist. I can wear both of these.
