Re: Religion quiz
I always felt Jainism is very close to Buddhism, especially Theravada. I was surprised my results weren’t that high for Jainism. Maybe there should have been a question about vegetarian diet.
Re: Religion quiz
That's not a proper religion quiz - there's no questions about George Soros, the alt-right, and censoring people.

Re: Religion quiz
I removed some of the priority markers and left them all at medium and then I think I also missed the last question, thinking it was about worship of nature, but see that it includes reverence for nature so I checked agree and then noticed that the Jainism numbers went to the top 5 with Theravada still at number one with 100%.
Yes, I think the politically oriented questions pushes most of us high on the UU scale and also on secular humanism.

I like your results. How did you get those results? I like how they're all Dharma Paths. I run the forum Dharma Paths but your results are better suited than mine to run Dharma Paths.
