smoemeth found this one--it's a much less Christi-Fundi version of the religion meme (written by someone who apparently did some homework) (and can spell).

I was actually expecting to come out Pagan.

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 88% Islam 79% agnosticism 75% Judaism 67% Hinduism 67% Paganism 67% Satanism 50% atheism 42% Christianity 38% Which religion is the right one for you?

Oh, I get you, and I generally agree. But channeling a conservative Catholic, I came up with a lot more certainty. The theologians can be the most liberal of all because they think so much and have so much training in logic (which is A Problem in matters of faith)--which is why so many of them get nailed for heresy sooner or later. The conservatives shut off the thinking and just believe. Word for word, if they're extreme. They'll say of course there's proof, it's right there in the Bible, can't you read?

I'll never be a fundamentalist because I ask too damned many questions. And I have a historian's mindset, and I read that particular agglomeration of texts as a lot of guys telling stories (often with a moral), relaying history, and conflating myths and legends.

I did expect to come out Pagan, but Buddhist works. I think it's a hoot that I got a high Satanist score, too.
