That explains a few things

Belief O' Matic says I match:

1. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (100%)
2. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (89%)
3. Eastern Orthodox (81%)
4. Roman Catholic (81%)
5. Seventh Day Adventist (77%)
6. Orthodox Quaker (76%)
7. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (72%)
8. Jehovah's Witness (71%)
9. Orthodox Judaism (63%)
10. Baha'i Faith (60%)
11. Islam (57%)
12. Sikhism (49%)
13. Liberal Quakers (47%)
14. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (47%)
15. Reform Judaism (43%)
16. Hinduism (36%)
17. Theravada Buddhism (30%)
18. Unitarian Universalism (29%)
19. Mahayana Buddhism (29%)
20. Jainism (26%)
21. New Thought (25%)
22. Scientology (22%)
23. Nontheist (20%)
24. Neo-Pagan (19%)
25. Taoism (17%)
26. New Age (11%)
27. Secular Humanism (9%)

I expected 1, 3, and 4, but 2 came out of left field. I think de-emphasizing salvation by works[1] was what pushed down Eastern Orthodox and Catholicism.


[1] I don't mind light discussion, but in a serious theological argument I am very closed to unarmed, so please don't ask for an in-depth and thorough explanation of every single thing I believe.

I think the only thing I find surprising is that Mormonism is so much lower than Islam, or than Christian Science so much lower than that. May have been something to do with the importance I assigned to the specific answers.
