The questions are poor. The very first question put me right off, as it allowed no belief for a Deist God, ie, an impersonal but intelligent creative force.

Humble apologies to all. What on earth do the Quakers and I have in common? thought I was very liberal on many issues! Must have selected the wrong importance button. At least JW was last. Got that bit right.

Quakers are actually a very liberal cult. They were one of the fisrt churches to support Gay marriage in the UK

There is no category for me, a born-again alcoholic.

Mine was 100% Secular Humanist.
When speaking to a couple of Christian ladies a couple of weeks ago, they told me not to call myself an atheist. So obviously this term leaves a bad taste in believers mouths. I asked if I should use Humanist and they said NO! (emphatically). Apparently that's what Madonna calls herself. But they couldn't tell me what I should call myself when I asked them.

They display ignorance as well as bigotry, no surprise there.
One can be a Humanist and a believer in God. A Secular Humanist by accepting that label identitfies as having no belief, but could still be of the agnostic school that says there is simply no evidence for a god. At the same time, the label Atheist would not be wrong.
Confusing isn't it ? What to call oneself ? People assume from a label so many things that we do need to exercise care when accepting a label for ourselves, and often having chosen one still have to add caveats and explanations.
I prefer to refer to myself as a Fat Bastard, no one yet has argued with that. LOL

Wow, some great responses. Thanks to all of you for sharing your results. It's interesting that so many different results came up first, but very telling that JWs came up last for most of us.
Remember, it's only for entertainment value. I wouldn't put too much stock in it.
