I just took a quiz called Belief-o-Matic. It's one of the better constructed belief quizzes I've run across to date. Still not perfect, though. I suspect that had there been a question to the effect of "what do you think of Jesus" I would have scored better for liberal Quaker than Unitarian Universalist. Still, I think these results are about as accurate as one could expect from an online quiz.
1. Unitarian Universalism (100%)
2. Liberal Quakers (99%)
3. Neo-Pagan (97%)
4. Mahayana Buddhism (95%)
5. New Age (87%)
6. Taoism (85%)
7. Theravada Buddhism (84%)
8. Secular Humanism (82%)
9. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (79%)
10. Jainism (72%)
11. Orthodox Quaker (71%)
12. Reform Judaism (70%)
13. Hinduism (68%)
14. Sikhism (67%)
15. Scientology (66%)
16. Baha'i Faith (63%)
17. New Thought (62%)
18. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (55%)
19. Nontheist (55%)
20. Islam (45%)
21. Orthodox Judaism (45%)
22. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (41%)
23. Seventh Day Adventist (41%)
24. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (36%)
25. Eastern Orthodox (24%)
26. Roman Catholic (24%)
27. Jehovah's Witness (22%)

Re: Belief-o-matic
Wow Dr. Shades, you got your Mormonism down to 16%. I could only pull a 23%. I'm 7% more Mormon than you! ;-)
edit: oops, I accidentally wrote Scratch instead of Dr. Shades, now it's fixed

This test is flawed and was obvious created by the pro-creationist far right extremists in an attempt to further their conservative agendas. There is no way in hell that I am 27% LDS anymore.
