[SusanCalvin]

1. I am a 100% atheist. I knew I would be. nt

[Mbrow]

2. agnostic secular humanist

or there abouts.

[Cartoonist]

3. They lost me with the first question

A 100% atheist could choose any answer. I chose the first and it labeled me an agnostic pantheist. Wrong!

[frogmarch]

4. Atheist secular humanist

I took the test twice and although I chose different responses in a couple of them and prioritized my responses differently in most of them, I got the same result.

I clicked the Learn More tab and was spirited away to Amazon to look inside a book about Pantheism.

5. 100% Athiest/Secular Humanist, but I already knew that. n/t

[Warpy]

6. I'm an atheist

I know, what a shock.

[Curmudgeoness]

7. What else could it be...

atheist/secular humanist - 100%

The second one on the list, with 74%, was Scientific Pantheist. Whatever that means.

[Duppers]

11. Think Sam Harris is also a scientific pantheist.

See my post below.

15. I looked into what scientific pantheism is supposed to be.

Seemed like bunk to me. I love nature. I have calm and serene feelings when I am close to nature. But I have no spiritual connection to it. Maybe I was just finding definitions that made it sound like a religion to me. I doubt that Harris was a scientific pantheist in the way that it was described (at least by my google search).

I found a blog that stated my feelings well....

It seems that Naturalistic Pantheism is the choice of educated and perhaps intelligent people who are smart enough to acknowledge that all the current organized religions are absurd, yet still have some sort of need for a spiritual aspect to their lives. If you eliminate all the spiritual aspects of god or worship from naturalistic pantheism then all that remains is the base scientific knowledge and fact. In what possible way is this so insufficient that some people need to re-imagine the universe as a kind of entity? If I can have a deep wonder and respect for the universe without having to do so, surely others can as well? I understand that people have different ways of coping or looking at the world but this is just ridiculous.

16. I never had any sort of "need for spiritual aspect"

Never. It was more like an awareness/ a light bulb moment. It's been termed "self-transcendent."
Something Harris described in the first 10mins here:

It's called spiritual for a lack of a better term and has NOTHING to do with the traditional meaning of the word. It's simply internal, neural activity that awakens and transcends self and provokes a sense on oneness.

Yet, I do not go as far as thinking the universe is any sort of entity, so perhaps I'm not technically a "scientific pantheist." There is a DUer, GliderGuider, who does feel that way.

Most atheists are as totally dismissive of this as you, so I realize mine is a minority opinion. But look down thread and see that others here, per test results, fall into that category.

8. 100% Atheist / Secular Humanist n/t

[Duppers]

9. Coinkydink your posting this because i just took that quizz

A few days ago and thought about posting it here.

[Duppers]

10. Forgot to add my results-- Atheist/secular humanist 100%

And 92% scientific pantheist BUT only in the sense that Sam Harris is.
LSD took me on that journey of inspired feelings years ago. I hate that "theist" is any way connected to the term because it's a misnomer and MOST inappropriate.

Dawkins called pantheism a "sexed-up atheism."

12. Nice -- an internet version of the "sorting hat" from Harry Potter.

It says I'm a Scientific Pantheist. That doesn't seem right. Would that be Gryffindor? Slitherin? HR Puffinstuff? Emil Minty?

[mr blur]

13. Hmm...no category for Anti-theist. Shame. (nt)

[DetlefK]

14. Atheist / Secular Humanist (100%)

Atheist / Secular Humanist More Information (100%)
Scientific Pantheist More Information (80%)
Agnostic Pantheist More Information (72%)

My personal expectation was straight-up "Agnostic", but that was on rank 10 ...

[pokerfan]

17. Atheist / Secular Humanist

Which is also what I predicted.

[awoke_in_2003]

18. It never tallied a result for me

But like most internet tests, it's bullshit.

[AlbertCat]

19. Atheist / Secular Humanist

I suppose that counts as I think science is the only thing telling us what things are really like.... but of course being human, art and emotions (human ones) are real and not to be dismissed.
