    I took that test last summer sometime, and while I got them in a different order, I had the same top three as you.

    25. Islam (28%)
    26. Eastern Orthodox (26%)
    27. Roman Catholic (26%)

    I wasn't surprised to see the Eastern religions (Buddhism, Jainism, Baha'i, Taoism, Hinduism, Sikhism) in the top 50% on the list, but I didn't expect them all to either tie with or 'score higher' than LDS. I need to read up on the other religions listed so I can better measure how accurate I believe the quiz to be. I know I would not have derived the same results a few months ago, but my thoughts and ideas have been developing (?).

    (...and I'm sure this is the first time I've been classified as a 'liberal christian.')

    Yeah, I don't know how accurate this quiz is (I've honestly never trusted multiple choice tests).

    Although, after watching Avatar: The Last Airbender, I started to rather strongly relate to the eastern religions. So, like you, Kyle, I wasn't surprised to see such higher up on my list.

    I've learned so many great lessons from cartoons.
