OK, *** SOOOO *** not accurate that I match more stuff in Mormon, Scientologist, or Christian Scientist faiths than in Jewish or Roman Catholic. And Jehovah's Witness? Seventh Day Adventist? This is all just filler. I'm an atheist, people. Secular Humanist. I'll take the UU, that's fine. The Quakers, Nontheists, also fine. Anything crazy? Not fine! No sacred undergarments. No thetans. No "clear". I don't know what Jainism is. I always think of Baha'i as flaky 60s-leftover faith. I like holidays, so there is no Witness here (or wait, is that the Adventists? feh!). Stupid test!
When your test starts out and asks what is the number of the deity and you say "No God or supreme force" shouldn't the test filter out belief systems that include gods? Foo.

Date: 2006-11-23 04:34 pm (UTC)I came across the term Secular Humanist a few years ago and realized that's probably the closest to what I feel. [see my comment to K below]
because I no longer enjoy discussing the possibility of a deity. At all.
And that is totally how I feel. Which makes it hard to live with my newly superstitious mother -- she's rediscovered her magical thinking since Dad died. Everything is "Oh, GreyKitty is in heaven with your father, he's taking care of her now". Endlessly annoying. And not too fun for Dad -- he was never a cat person...
