You scored as Satanism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Satanism! Before you scream, do a bit of research on it. To be a Satanist, you don't actually have to believe in Satan. Satanism generally focuses upon the spiritual advancement of the self, rather than upon submission to a deity or a set of moral codes. Do some research if you immediately think of the satanic cult stereotype. Your beliefs may also resemble those of earth-based religions such as paganism. </td> paganism 67% Satanism 67% agnosticism 58% Buddhism 58% Hinduism 54% Islam 46% Christianity 33% Judaism 33% atheism 33% Which religion is the right one for you?

Oh, not too bad...

You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. You neither believe nor disbelieve in God. You don't believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof). Agnosticism is a philosophy that God's existence cannot be proven. It is possible to be agnostic and follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout believer if he or she does not truly believe. </td> agnosticism 75% paganism 71% Hinduism 67% Islam 63% Buddhism 63% Satanism 58% Judaism 46% Christianity 38% atheism 25% Which religion is the right one for you?

I came out agnostic because too many of their questions were biased towards Monotheism in a way that didn't allow for a difference between polytheism and atheism.

Now, that is more of what I would have expected for me also. Yeah, those questions were some of the more difficult to feel I was able to honestly answer on a agree-disagree scale.

I suspect that the test interprets answers that you gave with the thought "I am the best qualified person to compare my actions to my moral code" with the assumed thought "what I want to do is the moral thing"

You seem to me like the sort of person who has chosen a set of behavior (possibly self-written), and lives by it. Satanism, when I read some of the texts in college (research paper) seemed to focus much more on doing whatever you want, and calling that a moral choice.

It also seems to me like some of the religions had many more "hot button" issues than others, so it would be relatively easy to end up with a high or low score in that religion, but not so easy to end up with a high score for some others.

You scored as Buddhism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Buddhism. Do more research on Buddhism and possibly consider becoming Buddhist, if you are not already. In Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths: (1) Life is suffering. (2) All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality and the craving, attachment, and grasping that result from such ignorance. (3) Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment. (4) The path to the suppression of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path, which consists of right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right-mindedness, and right contemplation. These eight are usually divided into three categories that base the Buddhist faith: morality, wisdom, and samadhi, or concentration. In Buddhism, there is no hierarchy, nor caste system; the Buddha taught that one's spiritual worth is not based on birth. </td> Buddhism 83% Hinduism 63% Islam 58% agnosticism 58% paganism 50% Satanism 38% atheism 33% Judaism 25% Christianity 13% Which religion is the right one for you?
