    Don’t even ask how I ended up at this quiz. Also don’t ask why I bothered to take it. I don’t believe in god beyond acknowledgment that it — “god,” that is — is a useful metaphor. I’ll go so far as to say that “god” is as substantial as the square root of minus one and as useful in moral and ethical discussions as irrational numbers are in mathematics. Enough of that… here’s my score. (I have a feeling they weighted my “neither agree nor disagree” more heavily than I would have. Mostly I offered those middle of the road answers to questions that weren’t particularly meaningful):

    You scored as Classical Liberal. You are a classical liberal. You are sceptical about much of the historicity of the Bible, and the most important thing Jesus has done is to set us a good moral example that we are to follow. Doctrines like the trinity and the incarnation are speculative and not really important, and in the face of science and philosophy the surest way we can be certain about God is by our inner awareness of him. Discipleship is expressed by good moral behaviour, but inward religious feeling is most important.
