Sikhism has definite Islamic roots. Bahai is an offshoot of Twelever Shia.

The cardinal sin of satanism is stupidity, which I find pretty cool. No other belief system I've read or heard about preaches it's followers to NOT be stupid.

Satan's a humanist. Have you watched the ending of Devil's Advocate? I think it's pretty cool. Makes you think, since only God can turn back time, how'd the Devil turn back the time? Is he and God one and the same? Are we all just a game He plays? Like the Sims?

I rate this quiz as rubbish, the top 3 shouldn't even contain mention of "Jesus" or "The Bible".

I would have expected that the top 3 would contain Neo-Pagan and Buddhism, I guess Theravada Buddhism. My beliefs in rebirth and no supreme diety are very important.
Knock out 4 for being wrong on all counts, and 1 and 2 for being too generic and the results would be decent.

Shia is the noun, Shiite is the verb.
The biggest forms of Shia are Twelver (mostly in Iran) and Ismaili (the old Fatamid religion). They disagree on who many of the post-Ali Imams were. Baha'i are a break-off from Twelver Shia, while the Druze are a break-off from Ismaili Shia. Then there's wierd bits of Shia like the Alawis (which are pretty big in Syria and include the current President) which nobody knows much about since they're really good at keeping most everything about their religion secret.

Well the Sikhs have a lot of Hindu aspects (you get reincarnared again and again until God enlightens you). India used to be a real mix of Islam and Hinduism in India, there are old Hindu texts which treat Muhammad as pretty much a god and a lot of Hindu beliefs sweeped into Indian Islam. There were also a lot of Saints whose tombs were visited by both Muslims and Hindus. Things only got really differentiated under English rule (although the Nakshbendi Sufi order also did a lot). The Sikhs came from that environment of Muslim/Hindu syncretism and patched things together in a more workable order and gave things a new spin.

I was never really Catholic; I'm just baptised and confirmed

And I went to a Catholic school for 1st-4th grade, until I escaped.

My mom's Catholic, my dad's Jewish (in the sense that we do Hanukah and Passover; he's an atheist like me).

I think I got 16% RC instead of 9% RC (like most) because I thought "elective abortion? Huh?" and, though I figured they meant total freedom of abortion (that sounds weird), I put "not applicable" (plus I don't believe in it totally).
