These things always tell me I'm a "Secular Humanist" and less than 80% "nontheist."
Bunk. I don't any more believe in the innate supremacy of Man than I believe in the innate supremacy of non-existent deities/forces. We lucked out because we come from bone-marrow suckers, not because we're "special."

Yeah, me too. Though I'm 90% at "nontheist."
And the "No God or supreme force. Or not sure. Or not important." choices are a problem. Which is it? There's a big difference between there not being a God and not being sure if there is or not.

As others have said, lumping the "No God or supreme force. Or not sure. Or not important." choices felt kind of odd to me. Interesting to see how far down the list the religion I was born into (Roman Catholicism) ended up ranking though.

I consider myself a Taoist with Buddhist leanings, thought I was raised with, and remain culturally connected to, Catholicism. Apparently, I'm a pretty crappy one. I'm probably not metaphysically minded enough.
