Sure, it's superficial, but it's fun, and some of the questions are pretty thoughtful. Give it a shot, and post your results!

Here are mine:

1. Neo-Paganism (100%)
2. Hinduism (82%)
3. Sikhism (79%)
4. New Age (79%)
5. Mahayana Buddhism (74%)
6. Unitarian Universalism (70%)
7. Bahá'í (66%)
8. Liberal Quaker (64%)

25. Atheism and Agnosticism (21%)
26. Jehovah's Witness (18%)
27. Seventh Day Adventist (12%)

I suspect that "Jehovah's Witness 18%" accounts for the presence of those annoying people who occasionally show up on our doorstep. "We know that 18% of you is with us--we must only claim the rest for the Watchtower!"

Well, my results were surprising. At least I'm staying true to Atheism.

Some of the answers i wanted weren't available, esp when considering the Islamic view on God etc.

here's a question. Whats a quaker?

From what i know of American History.
They founded philadelphia - can't spell it.
It was all about brotherly love, freedom of speech no slaves etc.
Basically common day human rights people back in the 1600 and 1700s.
They came to the US for religious freedom and stuff.

Check up on that website, by selecting the hotlink under Quaker in your answer. It will give you a short list of Quaker beliefs, and a little background. I think there may also be a few links in there.

Roman Catholic?

I like how the questionnaire gives us the opportunity to rate the importance or priority of the question. I’ve never seen that before. For example, I disagreed that Divorce and/or remarriage should be restricted or punished or condemned, but I can see how a religion can play an important role in encouraging people to work out their problems rather than leap to an easy divorce, so I rated the question low.

The results pretty much confirmed what I always thought about myself: I’m a neo-paganistic Unitarian with a bit of Secular Humanism thrown in for confusion’s sake.

This is quite interesting, i have known a few quakers, i wouldn't say i share much in common with them (especially their laws about avoiding alcohol! ) Liberal Protestant i can understand since i am brought up in a protestant household, however i do not exactly hold to my beliefs very much.

And why is Jehovah's Witness' always at the bottom of the list, i wonder what one has to put it for it to be at the top

Excuse my little edit, i couldn't help it

I suspect this means you're allowed to go worship Saturdays and Sundays.

Not surprisingly, I resemble Aegis and Waverly

Hmm...I'm 100% Conservative Protestant and 86% Liberal Protestant. The extra in conservative probably comes from growing up in the SBC.

What is SBC?

I also liked that, during my education I saw this kind of rating system in a few tests. I think it's especially good to use importance rating in life values/attitude-tests so different issues can be weighted. How important an issue is to us also says a lot about our values.
