This silly religion thing...

I'm actually glad it came up, because it helped me define the Simafirans a
bit more.  Anyway, first my personal results:

1. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants  (100%)
2. Orthodox Quaker  (89%)
3. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant  (82%)
4. Seventh Day Adventist  (81%)
5. Eastern Orthodox  (80%)
...
23. Secular Humanism  (28%)
24. Jainism  (24%)
25. Jehovah's Witness  (24%)
26. Taoism  (23%)
27. Atheists and Agnostics  (17%)

No real surprises here, I guess, though if I had to pick one, it would be
that I was that easy to "place".  I actually have a lot of respect for the
various traditions presented, including Taoism and Humanism, which showed
up at the bottom of the list.  That's a good thing, I think.

As for the Simafiran islanders:

1. Neo-Pagan  (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism  (98%)
3. New Age  (95%)
4. Liberal Quakers  (92%)
5. Mahayana Buddhism  (85%)
...
23. Islam  (34%) (No different scores for Sunni and Shi'ite?)
24. Jehovah's Witness  (30%)
25. Atheists and Agnostics  (28%)
26. Seventh Day Adventist  (28%)
27. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant  (27%)

Looks like I've come up with something fairly unique in the Simafirans'
nature worship religion...*18* of the 27 listed religions scored 50% or
higher, leading me to believe that the "curve" was *very* high for them!
