    Zak, I'm 7% more Islamic than you! I've always said us conservative Christians had a lot in common with Islam, but who knew I was more Muslim than Muslim! Also, I was the first vote for Islam. LOL
    It actually came out pretty accurately, I'd say. But what the heck is the Baha'i' Faith?

    I wonder if anybody has actually changed religions because of this. You know, like a Baptist wondering, "Why does it think I'm a Quaker?" and then, after looking into the question, converting? I mean, I don't expect a "Mainline Liberal Protestant" to suddenly become a Theravada Buddhist, but it could happen.

    Check it out: http://www.bahai.org/

    It's Iranian in its origin.

    Interesting. I do agree with a lot of their ideas. Not a fan of one world government, though. Strange that I've never heard of the religion.

    As I understand it, Bahai is kind of an "invitation only" religion.

    So do I. They also have the best cheeses, made the old fashioned way. Not sure if the local ones I've met are liberal or Orthodox though. They dress in black mostly and ride in horse-drawn buggies. :shrug:

    That covers Humanism - but what about Unitarian Universalists, Liberal Quakers and Theravada Buddhists?

    yeah, because online polls are certainly something to base a life philosophy on.

    Perhaps the opposite is also true.
    I would say that humanism is something like a cross between Buddhism and Christianity. It is moral Christianity minus the worship, plus scientific principles.

    Is there humanism among educated Muslims, Hindus, Mahommedans etc?
    Or would they call it something different. Please tell us.

    I believe that Jewish people with humanist type views consider still themselves Jewish.
    Its a lifestyle and way of thinking as well as a belief.

    In a similar manner, as a non-practising Catholic, I recognise that 90% of my mindset
    is still what they drummed into me, and humanist wasn't one of my choices.
