Religion Quiz Results:

You scored as Islam. Your beliefs are most similar to those of Islam. Do more research on Islam and possibly consider taking the shahadah and officially becoming a Muslim, if you aren't already.

Despite the actions of some - who go against the teachings of Islam - Islam is a religion of peace; the word "islam" means "peace through submission to God." "Muslim" means "one who submits to God." Islam is the third of the three Abrahamic faiths, and it shares much with Judaism in Christianity; its differences are the acceptance of Muhammad as the last and final prophet, and the oneness of God - in other words, that Jesus, though he was a revered prophet, was not in fact God, and only one God exists. Apparently the Taliban could not read (though their name means "students"), because the Qur'an states that men and women are equal as believers, and that all believers should be educated and seek knowledge. Modesty in dress and behavior is required in Islam for both men and women to preserve the values of society and move the emphasis from superificial appearance to intelligence, knowledge, and God.

Which religion is the right one for you? (new version)

Okay. So much funny here. First off, I have to go see my local imam. Secondly, Satanism scored higher than Christianity. Thirdly, I find it really funny that, as a near-lifelong Atheist, I scored high as Muslim. Also, according to my answers, there's only a 5% difference between Islam and Judaism. And yet, we can't all get along...

And really, if we can't trust internet quizzes, who can we trust?
