This is the resurrection of an HP thread which was extremely popular a few years back, but largely lost I think in changes to the software.
At there's a really great questionaire which only takes maybe 20 minutes to complete, but the results you get, most people find, are extremely revealing. On this thread, the idea is, as last time, that if you are willing to, post in the entire result you get, and any thoughts you have about that.
The link is
I'll do it myself again in time, out of interest to see if things have changed.
Last time I scored a whopping 97% as being a Hindu, though I don't quite think of myself as Hindu, but it's the nearest religion to me that they cater for. Just about everyone on HP, like me, scored very low for the obvious faiths such as Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, and even Christianity.
Anyway, there's the link, give it a go, and post in your results and thoughts about them. 🙂

I also found it interesting that I did not get 0% in any of the faiths. It is said that bhuddism encompases and shares beliefs with all the major religions so I wonder if this is why??

Is this not because it only shows the top 26 religions for you? I am sure there are other faiths that are lower down the list, correct me if I'm wrong.
I read a small bit on Hinduism to see if it rang any bells with me and quite a bit of it did! though I must do some more indepth reading - can anyone suggest any good sites about Hinduism? 🙂

Hinduism is an ancient religion with no founder or known date of origin. The term "Hinduism" simply derives from the word "India" and refers to a wide variety of religious traditions and philosophies that have developed in India over thousands of years.

Not a surprise, since I am probably a more conservative Protestant. Interesting quiz.

It's interesting what you have from 9th to 14th, though, ace, all above 50%. Obviously you resonate with quite a bit of those Eastern religions. :p Faiths that I don't consciously resonate with came really low as a score for me.

Overall, i didn't feel the survey was very in tune with asking appropriate questions. I don't know, the questions seemed a bit more *out of touch* then survey's of the past. So much so, that i really had to kind of put the lesser of many evils when answering many of the questions. I guess that's the nature of any of these types of quizzes but this just seemed a bit more *off*...
Funny that I scored higher in Sikhism (which I believe to be a sort of blending of Hindu and Islamic beliefs) then in Hinduism (which is the spiritual philosophy i personally find myself most closely identifying with).

What a surprise lol! Never would have thought I had Scientology leanings! I would go more for the New Thought though after reading that through.

Thanks for posting this V. Fascinating to see the replies! Having tried and failed to become a convinced christian and since followed my guides it's interesting to see what came up, not many of the replies fitted my exact current beliefs:
