The Belief-O-Matic™ aka Beliefomatic Quiz Of Beliefnet As Completed By The Emerson Avenger

U*U blogger Logan Geen aka The New Unitarian*Universalist did a blog post title What Religion Are You? about the Beliefnet Belief-O-Matic™ online quiz that suggests which religions your beliefs are most aligned with based on your answers to questions about your understanding of "the concept of God, the afterlife, human nature, etc." He posted his Belief-O-Matic™ quiz results and Lone Star State U*U blogger Peripatos followed suit on his patter-pensée blog. The Emerson Avenger decided to take the Belief-O-Matic™ quiz yet again just to see where he stood these days as far as its somewhat questionable results are. It is only as a result of redoing the Belief-O-Matic™ quiz and checking his results, along with those of U*U bloggers, that The Emerson Avenger noticed that the small but historically and culturally important religion known as Zoroastrianism is not amongst those religions that are listed in the Belief-O-Matic™ quiz. The Emerson Avenger is less than impressed with Beliefnet's apparent slight to Zoroastrians, especially in light of the fact that tiny fringe religions like Unitarian*Universalism and Scientology are amongst those that are included in its Belief-O-Matic™ quiz. . . Still it's nice to know that he could pass for a Sikh in a pinch and that he is quite solidly 70% Buddhist.

Herewith are The Emerson Avenger's Belief-O-Matic™ quiz results. I would seem that his strong small 'u', if not capital 'U' Unitarian monotheism causes the following somewhat unusual (for him) results:

Liberal Quakers (100%)
Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (98%)

Unitarian Universalism (93%)
