After clicking on the "more about you" button after the "Christian" quiz:
"Jesse Ventura Christian
(a.k.a. "Secularist")
You don't understand why everyone makes such a big fuss about the Bible (true), and you probably don't believe in God.(true) You might go to church at Christmas(false), but Easter would be going too far.(true) You think religion has done more harm than good(true) but are trying to get in touch with your spiritual side.(UMMM, NO False) You've read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad"(false) and enjoy historical novels.(mostly false) You loved the "The Da Vinci Code"(false) and think its theories about the church suppressing Jesus and Mary Magdalene's relationship are probably right on track.(false) You live in or near the city,(false) eat Thai food,(false) and hate bigots.(true) You support gay rights,(true) mistrust the "religious right"(Oh how true) and think televangelists are gross.(Thats an understatement, true) You give to charity(true) and think it's quite possible to be tolerant and ethical without being religious."(true)

True=9
