I have my doubts about the system used to assign affinities. Even though I love Thomas Aquinas’s philosophy, it scored me - and lots of other people it seems - very low in affinity to Catholicism. I suspect that’s because of the weight it assigns to hot button RC moral issues like abortion and divorce, rather than Catholic theology.
I also think people’s results on the quiz will differ based on how well they understand the questions and the concepts behind them. Some of the terms used are unfamiliar to the average person.
We are similar Nadine! I also expected to rate higher for Protestantism! There you go, you can escape your past!

In terms of my background, I was raised Catholic, became Eastern Orthodox in high school because my father’s side of the family was Orthodox and its similarity to Catholicism, became Salvation Army after college because I was idealistic and inspired by their charitable work, then I became Unity/new age after being turned off by fundamentalist Christians in the Salvation Army.
And then, over two years ago, I became Buddhist after realizing how much of the new age movement was just a cheap imitation of Buddhism and Hinduism. I don’t regret going from Catholic to Protestant to new age, because that was my transition into Buddhism. Catholic to Buddhist would have been too big a leap.
I agree. I don’t think I could’ve transitioned from Catholic to Buddhist without having atheism in between. Does anyone here on D&D know someone who became a Buddhist straight from Catholicism?
