I found similar results in investigating Mahayana Buddhism. Despite placing me at such a high correlation to their beliefs in this little test, their positions on practical issues are so contrary to my own that I wonder how it happened.
Your problems would be solved by just becoming a Unitarian. Just take the good of any spiritual path and toss the crap. You can even keep Jesus if you want.
I've yet to determine what I exactly want to do regarding this situation.
No surprise here. Through, with the Buddhist bit, I agree with only a few of the things they stand for. I especially dislike the whole idea of "karma."

FYI - If you click on the links they tell you the core beliefs of each group. So for instance clicking on - Unitarian Universalism will tell you all about Unitarian Universalism.
I think Theravada Buddhism scored high for people because it doesn't contain a god figure, but rather a human Buddha. The opposite can be said for Mahayana: It contains a god figure (God Buddha), thus is more compatible with Theists. Just my 2 cents.
I think there's something fishy about how easy it is to be a Unitarian Universalist . . .
Speaking as someone who was raised among them: no, it really is that easy. Broadly speaking, UUs are people who like the community aspects of a church but dislike the whole dogma thing.
My apologies for "bumping" this thread back up, but after long debates woth myself over the last year regarding religion, I decided to take the test again, just out of curiosity.

I re-took it and got this. I did change a lot since the time I first took it. Still, I don't think an online test can tell you who you really are or not.
I think we're all getting Unitarian Universalism because we all think quite alike.
Anyways, I had to take the belief-o-matic quiz in religion class last year and my top 3 was: 1. Theravada Buddhism (100%) 2. Mahayana Buddhism (high 90s) 3. Unitarian Universalism (high 90s as well) 4-10. don't remember.
My results didn't match up anywhere near anyone elses. Most of the people got Catholic and Christian crap.
I think all the Buddhism comes from the fact that I don't believe in any god, but I kinda believe in heaven, hell, and reincarnation (very broad belief in it)
