Let's see, I was mostly against the belief in a higher power.
Acceptance of the concept of evolution
A proponent of human freedom
Cautious of glorifying democracy
Disagree that the USA is the world's savior
Belief that people are messed up, but still good
Just another bunch of revolution propaganda targeted towards inciting another American Civil war in my opinion
Interesting test

I wonder, if you get a seven, does it say: "you do not need to buy our book"?

6 out of 7 for 'partially agreeing' to everything.
I'd suggest it's maybe impossible to score a 7 on this test - it's more about how open-minded and willing you are to continually test and develop your beliefs - whatever they may be (no extra brownie points for believing/not believing in a higher power!)

Your level of enlightenment is 5 out of 7
You are on the path to enlightenment
To become more enlightened, you need to open your mind to scientific ideas, and you need to learn more about the history of philosophy and the various religious traditions. Then you will have the knowledge to form your own educated opinions. However, you should never think that you know enough to impose your opinions on anyone else.
Socrates said that the secret to being wise was to realize that we really do not know much. Everybody wants to think that what they believe is right, and they cling to the beliefs they are familiar with, even when they do not fully understand the issues. It takes a great deal of humility to admit the limits of your knowledge.
If you would like to improve your understanding of the issues that give meaning to our lives, you should read Shattering the Sacred Myths
but I think the test was completely biased.

I got the same as FlipThis (and most others it would seem). I don't really like the notion that these people know the right answer, so we need to buy their book. That kinda negates the whole thing IMO.
