"If I experienced proof of a god, I would begin to believe."

As I appear to be the only one here who came out 92% spiritual atheist, I'll guess that this category is for people for whom the correct answers to many of these questions were "the world is beautifully structured" and "who gives a shit what others believe may or may not be responsible?"

I believe a Spiritual Athiest is also known as a Unitarian Universalist.

Lots of "scientific atheists" around here. Bah!
Willing to take theists to task, the Militant Atheist is someone who knows deep within themselves that there is no god and they want to tell you all about how they know. Even though they're as annoying in their own way as militant theists, this is often a phase of development and doesn't tend to last very long. If it does, they're in danger of becoming an Angry Atheist and making everyone uncomfortable.

what the heck is a "apathetic athiest"?

My guess is that it's a person who doesn't believe there's a god, but even if there were a god it wouldn't really change things for them. Before I became a full-fledged atheist (thanks in large part to you, PZ) that was more or less my thoughts on the matter: God doesn't appear to be affecting my life any, so even if it exists, what does it matter?

Hee! I was not thinking that in this context "spiritual" meant "belief in spirits" so much as belief that not all phenomena can be defined by science; Noam Chomsky calls such wonderments that elude the grasp of our cognitive abilities "mysteries" (as distinguished from "problems," which fall within the purview of rational inquiry).

But yes, you're right, "spiritual atheist" is a ridiculous term. But then I don't really care what category my viewpoint might fall under--I just like taking quizzes! :-)

The strangely high "spiritual" and "theist" parts may depend on the fact that I had to answer in the middle for Jason Gastrich. No idea who that is. Spiritual? I'm not spiritual. "Beauty in nature" is not something spiritual.

Interestingly, if you add the "Agnostic" and "Apathetic Atheist" scores, you reach 100 %, and indeed, like Salad Is Slaughter (# 11), I'm an Apathetic Agnostic... :o)

I'm a scientific atheist, followed by militant, then angry. After all those, how is it that I came up more theist than agnostic?

Perhaps it's the certainty... :^)

"If I experienced proof of a god, I would begin to believe."

Proof. Well, I'd believe if I had proof. But what the hell is proof?

My first thought would probably be about Arthur C. Clarke and his aphorism about advanced technology and magic.

Gosh. Maybe I wouldn't believe after all.

Saith the Book of Mormon:

Alma 32:17-18 Yea, there are many who do say: If thou wilt show unto us a sign from heaven, then we shall know of a surety; then we shall believe. Now I ask, is this faith? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; for if a man knoweth a
thing he hath no cause to believe, for he knoweth it.

See? That's why I answered that question with the unnamed middle option.

How can I be 100% Atheist, 50% Agnostic and 25% Theist?!

No, no -- you fulfill the diagnosis of "atheist" to 100 %, that of "agnostic" to 50 % and that of "theist" to 25 %. Which is still strange, but look at me... ~:-|

Think the 17% comes from answering in the positive for things like "spiritual" or in a neutral for some things that would be more accurate if they had a scale of like 0 to 10, where I would have said 2, in favor of the atheist side. This is why I hate these things sometimes.

Interesting. HARD core Scientific/Militant, followed by... spirituality? I guess you could call it 'wonderment at nature's beauty'. I scored rather higher on the 'angry' part than I would've liked though.

Oh, Jason Gastrich is a Y.E.C. fool. He's loudmouthed and in the immortal words of Pauli - not even wrong.

This quiz is flawed. The phrasing of the questions is far too ambiguous in several cases, and any quiz that says I'm 25% theist is dead wrong, not to mention insulting.

Ah! Some of the coolest people in the world are Spiritual Atheists. Most of them weren't brought up in an organized religion and have very little baggage. They concentrate on making the world a better place and know that death is just another part of life. What comes after, comes after.

I'm not surprised to still score highly as apathetic and also agnostic, but I I thought I'd put in a stronger showing for scientific. And I don't think of myself as spiritual.

I just posted a quick statistical breakdown of everyone's answers over on my blog, PseudoRandom Quanta. Also, I came up with the nifty idea of a rationality score.

Formula:

R= AVG(Agnostic, Militant, Scientific) / AVG(Angry, Spiritual, Theist)

That should give you a pretty good junk science indication of your rationality/irrationality ratio.

Ok, I'm done now. :P

Considering the test's evident bias I shan't be taking it. looks like some answers get interpreted in a way that contradict other answers, when really, the answer to the question "Do you believe in a God or other divine agency?" should guide how the answers to other questions are interpreted.

Congrats to everyone!

Sheesh, I must be lucky, because I'm not even a scientist and got a 100% Scientific Atheist ;-)

I'm guessing that my Militant Atheist score is a dim reflection of my 60s political activist youth.

But about the Angry Atheist, I wasn't angry till I saw that I got a Theist score above 0%. Is that because I said that if there was proof of god I might belive? I mean, yeah, prove it, and that's a mighty big if, and I can't imagine anything that I would accept as proof. Plus, my idea of a god is that, if one could possibly exist, it would be a natural entity, not a supernatural one.

I performed the test as accurately as I could and I love this description of me...

"You scored as a Theist. Why did you take a quiz specifically for atheists? Are you illiterate as well as deluded? Go sing at a brick wall or give your money to a corrupt pedophile or something."

Theist 100%
Agnostic 83%
Militant Atheist 67%
Scientific Atheist 42%
Angry Atheist 33%
Spiritual Atheist 25%
Apathetic Atheist 8%

I'm particularly impressed that it scored me so low on the Apathy scale. I do so love debating atheists!

Angry Atheist 42%

But I do get 100% on the untested profile of Pholidote Atheist.

Who is Jason Gastrich?

You scored as Scientific Atheist, These guys rule. I'm not one of them myself, although I play one online. They know the rules of debate, the Laws of Thermodynamics, and can explain evolution in fifty words or less. More concerned with how things ARE than how they should be, these are the people who will bring us into the future.

Embrace your inner angry atheist!

Think of these percentages as the likelihood that you would respond in a given way to a discussion of religion. If you score highest on Angry or militant you might be more likely to reply "colorfully," while those who score highest on "scientific atheist" would be most likely to use a more materialistic, empirical response. Assuming, of course, that the quiz gives valid results. Based on my high "spiritual atheist" number, I'm not so sure.

Funny... I always thought of myself as agnostic, but the test says I'm a "scientific atheist." Where are my marching orders?

The strangely high "spiritual" and "theist" parts may depend on the fact that I had to answer in the middle for Jason Gastrich. No idea who that is. Spiritual? I'm not spiritual. "Beauty in nature" is not something spiritual.

Interestingly, if you add the "Agnostic" and "Apathetic Atheist" scores, you reach 100 %, and indeed, like Salad Is Slaughter (# 11), I'm an Apathetic Agnostic... :o)

I'm a scientific atheist, followed by militant, then angry. After all those, how is it that I came up more theist than agnostic?

Perhaps it's the certainty... :^)

"If I experienced proof of a god, I would begin to believe."

Proof. Well, I'd believe if I had proof. But what the hell is proof?

My first thought would probably be about Arthur C. Clarke and his aphorism about advanced technology and magic.

Gosh. Maybe I wouldn't believe after all.

Saith the Book of Mormon:

Alma 32:17-18 Yea, there are many who do say: If thou wilt show unto us a sign from heaven, then we shall know of a surety; then we shall believe. Now I ask, is this faith? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; for if a man knoweth a
thing he hath no cause to believe, for he knoweth it.

See? That's why I answered that question with the unnamed middle option.

How can I be 100% Atheist, 50% Agnostic and 25% Theist?!

No, no -- you fulfill the diagnosis of "atheist" to 100 %, that of "agnostic" to 50 % and that of "theist" to 25 %. Which is still strange, but look at me... ~:-|
