    I found I had to scroll down to find it, some questions were visible at the top of the page, but a lot were 'hidden' at the bottom right.

    I'm also a Unitarian Universalist. From the list of beliefs, this religion seems like a dumping ground for everyone who either can't make their mind up or believes in nothing in particular :)

    That's almost exactly what it is. It's an American thing. That quiz is, obviously, not really that rigorous.

    I ended up as a secular humanist. I'm guessing, from the tenor of the questions, that they don't think that's a good thing.

    You're right, I should have said "true Church".

    I wasn't saying you should have said 'true' church and sincerely hope you aren't describing your own church as the 'true' church.
    If it's the 10 commandments in particular that rock your boat, you sound more Jewish than Christian!

    Not really they are the basis of Christian teaching as well.

    The 10 commandments are Old Testament - if they are your fave thang, Judaism might be the way to go.

    Christianity does claim to be based on the OT, but that's more in theory than in practice. After all, most Christians happily munch away on pork chops, bacon, crab and other shell fish, mix linen and wool in their clothes, and other offences carrying the death penalty in Leviticus.

    It is very much based on the OT which is why it's includedin the bible and why Jesus is prophesied there.

    I'm not getting into a debate about which things aren't relevant any more (it's been done many times), But even Jews don't have the death penalty for the things mentioned.
