Keith (colleague) pointed me in the direction of BeliefNet, and their Belief-O-Matic questionnaire. Belief-O-Matic asks a series of questions, and then determines your compatibility with various belief systems.
I am 100% Orthodox Quaker, apparently.

what is orthodox quaker
April 7th, 2005 at 1:41 am
I am
HMMM maybe we could all just start our own church of belief-o-matics.

Seems like a lot of people who take that test come out at with least a high Quaker percentage, so it’s not just you. I’d really like to learn more about the religion for knowledge’s sake. I’m 100%, too.

Me too! I’m kinda bummed. I don’t want to make oatmeal!!!

OK…so….what is this Orthodox Quaker? Obvioulsy I scored 100% too and it does make me curious. Although it scored me 99% Lutheran and that is the church I attend.

Strange. I know that this comment site has not been chatted on for like 2 years, but I find it bizarre that I got 100% Orthodox Quaker too. Maybe it is just defaulted to always have you be 100% that.

I scored 100% on Orthodox Quaker too. I’ve always been intrigued by the Amish culture, but would consider myself Presbyterian, through and through.

I too just today have been graded as 100% Orthodox Quaker thats why I went to google to find o0ut about it.I always thought i was a dummy with a big ol’ tummy.

According to Belief-O-Matic, I am 100% Orthodox Quacker also. I consider myself mostly philosophical and not particularly adhere to any one specific religion. So what gives??? I am also intrigued with
the results of this quiz.

Oh, thank goodness, 100% quaker was not what I was expecting from a “what religion are you” test. Glad to see I’m not the only one going, “What, am I really that square and just didn’t know it?”

Alas, I am 100% Orthodox Quaker, although I’m a member of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church (PCUSA, although it’s an evangelical megachurch) and Abundant Life Christian Fellowship (Church of God; also a megachurch), both in Silicon Valley.
I’ve been living in China for nearly four years, and although there are some “private” fellowships tending toward the Right (well, at least that’s what I’ve been told), I attend the marginally ecumenical International Fellowship here in Qingdao — and even do a bit of preaching.
For those interested in learning more about what it means to be an “Orthodox Quaker,” see if Barclay Press offerings resonate with you: http://www.barclaypress.com/ . If it does, then you may indeed be an Orthodox Quaker.
You may also want to check out Sojourners magazine: http://www.sojo.net/ . Hope these two links help!!

I came out with 100% Unitarian Universal, 95% Therevada Buddhism, 91% Secular Humanism and 89% Liberal Quaker, so it seems that not everyone comes out as 100% Quaker. Incidentally I was brought up as a Quaker, actually became a member when I decided to join but left a few years later in the early 1970s. I retain some sympathy with Quakers but do not want to reclaim my membership.

Quakers in the UK and America are part of a liberal, creedless religion (Ie you don't have to take on a specific set of beliefs to be one), a significant minority don't believe in God, it's more a way of life focused on social action and helping others, so don't be alarmed if you came out 100% quaker, it can accomodate many different types of beliefs. As a sign outside a local quaker meeting house says, "Thou shalt decide for thyself."
They're nothing to do with the Amish and you don't have to eat oats to be one!

ok, ok so many Quakers around.. me too as a 100% Orthodox Quaker… maybe time to see who designed the quiz?
