"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." Note this is on a "spiritual" site, so there could well be bias in the results (note the bit about what you "ought to consider practicing"), but I trust in your intelligence to see through that, if it's there. I went through and answered the 20 questions as I thought an atheist might. The result showed how closely my answers were like those of 27 faiths. The top 10 shown: "1. Unitarian Universalism (100%), 2. Secular Humanism (97%), 3. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (91%), 4. Liberal Quakers (85%), 5. Theravada Buddhism (82%), 6. Nontheist (82%), 7. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (71%), 8. Neo-Pagan (67%), 9. Baha'i Faith (65%), 10. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (56%)". I tried hard to act atheist and "nontheist" came up sixth, with only 82% agreement to my answers, well behind (at 91%) mainline protestant? As with anything to do with faith, your mileage my vary, but it should be thought-provoking. From This is True for 28 August 2006 Suggestions for further reading:

By sober, I mean intellectually sober, not free of alcohol.
