Ran across an interesting link (http://www.beliefnet.com/Entertainment/Quizzes/BeliefOMatic.aspx) to something called the Belief-O-Matic. The description is: Even if YOU don't know what faith you are, Belief-O-Matic knows. Answer 20 questions about your concept of God, the afterlife, human nature, and more, and Belief-O-Matic will tell you what religion (if any) you practice...or ought to consider practicing.
So after answering the questions, it presents a list of faiths in order that more closely match your beliefs. I'll be damned if it didn't match mine at 100%.

Not looking beyond the mere entertainment value...
YMMV.

Ok, I bit, even though I can't stand that site. I'm actually surprised my computer didn't blow up. ;)

Not surprised by the results one bit, though it does say I'm 34% Scientologist. Looks like I'll have to go watch Battlefield Earth now.

No surprise really:

Top 4
1. Secular Humanism (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism (97%)
3. Liberal Quakers (83%)
4. Theravada Buddhism (72%)

Bottom 4
24. Orthodox Judaism (20%)
25. Eastern Orthodox (16%)
26. Roman Catholic (16%)
27. Jehovah's Witness (9%)

Secular Humanism:

• Belief in Deity
Not considered important. Most Humanists are atheists or agnostics.

• Incarnations
Same as above.

• Origin of Universe and Life
The scientific method is most respected as the means for revealing the mysteries of the origins of the universe and life.

• After Death
An afterlife or spiritual existence after death is not recognized.

• Why Evil?
No concept of “evil.” Reasons for wrongdoing are explored through scientific methods, e.g. through study of sociology, psychology, criminology.

• Salvation
No concept of afterlife or spiritual liberation or salvation. Realizing ones personal potential and working for the betterment of humanity through ethical consciousness and social works are considered paramount, but from a naturalistic rather than supernatural standpoint.

• Undeserved Suffering
No spiritual reasons but rather a matter of human vulnerability to misfortune, illness, and victimization.

• Contemporary Issues
The American Humanist Association endorses elective abortion. Other contemporary views include working for equality for homosexuals, gender equality, a secular approach to divorce and remarriage, working to end poverty, promoting peace and nonviolence, and environmental protection.

27. Seventh Day Adventist (11%)

I guess I missed something in 13 years of Catholic school... :)

My dad's parents were Unitarian, but they never discussed religion with me, so I really don't know much about it. The only time I've been to a Unitarian service was both of their funerals. We did have a small statue of Buddha in our house when I was growing up, so maybe I got something out of that. :)
