1.    Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (100%)
2.    Jehovah's Witness (100%)
3.    Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (97%)
4.    Baha'i Faith (93%)
5.    Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (83%)

No surprise here.



I just took it again, I got 97% Mahayana and 92% Therevada.


That greatly upsets me.

Hinduism is basically just a collection of all different faiths in india thrown together to create an easy term for us westerners. If you really want to learn about those faiths, travel there and find out for yourself.

What?

I didn't mention Hinduism, and no Hinduism is not just thrown together for Westerners, what the hell are you talking about?

I was upset because I greatly favor Therevada to Mahayana.

Nvm. I was referring to you getting hinduism 100% as your first answer... am I correct

But then I totally messed up on the two philosophies of buddhism you laid out. My bad  :P


But yeah, hinduism has a lot of diversity though.. which was my point. More diversity than christianity. The term hinduism:
Hinduism does not have a "unified system of belief encoded in declaration of faith or a creed",[37] but is rather an umbrella term comprising the plurality of religious phenomena originating and based on the Vedic traditions.[38][39][40][41]



Note to self: Have to read up on buddhism and hinduism. So incredibly diverse.

No, Hinduism wasn't number 1. That universal whatever crap was, then something else then taoist, then the buddhist, I think Hinduism was pretty far down the line.

Or just talk to Indian women in Great Britain.
