37. I felt that the quiz was somewhat simplistic
both in its questions, and in its conclusions. It had me down as an atheist.

Your ideals mostly resemble those of an Atheist. You have very little faith and you are very focused on intellectual endeavors. You value objective proof over intuition or subjective thoughts. You enjoy talking about ideas and tend to have a lot of in depth conversations with people.

40% scientific.
70% reason-oriented.

For the record, I don't regard myself as an atheist, though I don't subscribe to any notion of divinity that resembles anything found in most religious traditions. I am not a very spiritually oriented person, but I do have some level of spirituality which I felt the questions were too crude and simplistic to be able to effectively measure. I found too many questions there to which I didn't feel comfortable answering either way, and would have appreciated being given 3 instead of 2 choices and a little more nuance.

It would be interesting to take a similar quiz that was put together with a bit more nuance.

And yeah, what is that with including Scientology but not including Islam? Or do they just assume that Islam is encompassed within Judaism/Christianity?

Overly simplistic.
