Religion's a funny thing

I've taken the Beliefnet quiz before, but after seeing it at M's I decided to give it another whirl. I hadn't thought my beliefs had really changed, but I was curious. I got pretty much what I got last time I took it - 100% match for Unitarian Universalism, but it never ceases to amaze me that the religion I was raised in came in dead LAST in the "top 27 religions my beliefs are most closesly matched with."

I also have to say that matching 54% with Mormon, 51% with Christian Science, 41% with Jehovah's Witness and 35% with Scientology frightened me.
