# 24. Eastern Orthodox (11%)
# 25. Islam (11%)
# 26. Orthodox Judaism (11%)
# 27. Roman Catholic (11%)
I wasn't sure what to make of some of the questions, especially the various "tenets of belief". For example, I think we should respect nature, but I don't think it forms part of a "belief" as such. And I have strong opinions on a lot of the ethical issues, without thinking that other people should necessarily have to share them.
As for the breakdown of non-theistic belief systems (http://www.selectsmart.com/FREE/select.php?client=atheistphilo - iffy in mozilla!):
My #1 result for the SelectSmart.com selector, Nontheistic philosophies/religions, is Ethical Culture

Date: 2004-02-17 08:09 am (UTC)Heheh - like the subject line says, I'm a bit of a hippy at heart :)
whereas I am less so, and more atheistic
Mmm. That makes sense - you're a bit less fluffy and emotional (for want of better words :P) than I am. But like you said, other than that we're pretty similar, especially when you answered all the ethical questions. I was too quizzed-out to try alternatives :)
Doesn't work with Moz-Firebird on Linux, but I probably need to update :(
