Hmmm....74% of what I actually am, works for me. But yet 76% Jehovah's Witness! Bloody Bugger NO! I can understand the other five, particularly the Judaism since my church has an old joke about how Mormons are just young Jews and Jews are just old Mormons. And we share quite a bit in common with Islam, but Jehovahs Witnesses? Whatever :roll:
Soldiers Live. And wonder why.

"It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet,
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, Who has given us the freedom to
demonstrate.
It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows the protester to burn the
flag."

As myself:

1. Secular Humanism (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism (99%)
3. Liberal Quakers (87%)
4. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (81%)
5. Nontheist (77%)
6. Theravada Buddhism (69%)
7. Neo-Pagan (64%)
8. Taoism (50%)
9. Bahá'í Faith (49%)
10.New Age (48%)

As Brother Alpha

1. Neo-Pagan (100%)
2. Mahayana Buddhism (92%)
3. Unitarian Universalism (90%)
4. Jainism (80%)
5. Liberal Quakers (80%)
6. Reform Judaism (77%)
7. New Age (76%)
8. Theravada Buddhism (72%)
9. Bahá'í Faith (68%)
10. Hinduism (68%)

Here's my question, as myself I said no to all questions about god(s), yet I still ranked higher as a Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (81%) than a Nontheist (77%). Does this mean God is no long important to the Protestant church?
