Quiz re: faith

Gacked from jeanineers:

You fit in with: Spiritualism Your ideals are mostly spiritual, but in an individualistic way. While spirituality is very important in your life, organized religion itself may not be for you. It is best for you to seek these things on your own terms. 80% spiritual. 40% reason-oriented.

Weird. I'm not at all sure about the results. I thought that it was rather Procrustean, trying to force either 'yes' or 'no' answers and they certainly have a different understanding of Christianity than I do--but the way they map the various faiths is interesting and worth discussion.

Edited to add: And here is just one obvious "duh" about the underlying assumptions which shows how poorly this quiz is designed.

Does the designer really think that none of these religions could possibly overlap???

I received the *exact* same results when I took this quiz.

It is my professional theological opinion that the designer of this quiz knows very little about world religions. The major flaw is the assumption that dogma=faith. Oh, and the assumption that the axea of faith-reason and scientific-spiritual couls divide or define any religious tradition. There are adherents of all the faith systems (and non-faith systems) listed who fall anywhere on this graph, so you can't use a person's reason--for example-- to chart her religious convictions.

Also, Muslims seem to not exist.
