About This Quiz

According to some research data, about 84% of the world's population ascribes to some kind of religion. That's a lot of faith out there. Of course, there are a lot of different ways to define religion and a lot of different commitments to those kinds, as well. Some people may belong to a particular faith but never observe the customs and rituals. Others may be flirting with different ideas around the edges of several belief systems but not really committing to one or another. 

So there's a good range of answers you can come up with when deciding if you are religious or not. After all, many people might just say they're spiritual if you ask them that question. They could be unsure of what they believe, only that they believe something. And that's an OK way to be. Faith is not meant to be precise, right? Otherwise, it wouldn't be faith. It's a journey some people must take to their own end, whatever it may be.

Wherever you're at on your religious journey, we're pretty sure we can guess what it is based on a few simple "would you rather" questions. Would you rather know if we got it right or not? Take the quiz and see!
