Interesting...
I was listed as an Orthodox Jew. Of course also as 98% Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestant, which is where I would place myself.

I took that a while back with similar results (Neo-Pagan Buddhist, etc.).

They really need to update it tho'. There's no mention of Discordianism or The Church of SpongeBob.

2. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (100%)
3. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (100%)
4. Jehovah's Witness (100%)
