Perhaps I should research Hinduism a little bit...

I agree.

My results:
1. Secular Humanism (100%) 2. Unitarian Universalism (90%) 3. Theravada Buddhism (80%) 4. Liberal Quakers (78%) 5. Neo-Pagan (73%) 6. Nontheist (66%) 7. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (60%) 8. Taoism (59%) 9. New Age (56%) 10. Mahayana Buddhism (49%)

 From my results I've known my religious thoughts are along the Humanist line, but I am also intrigued by Theravada Buddhism. Maybe I have no idea what Quakers, much less Liberal Quakers are about. ;)

Under the Secular Humanism link I read:
After Death An afterlife or spiritual existence after death is not recognized.

It's not that I don't recognize it. I want it, I suspect it, but am not committed to it with certainty.

Under Theravada Buddhism I like the idea of Nirvana.
After Death
There is no transmigration of individual souls, but through the law of karma, one's wholesome or unwholesome intentions become imprinted in the mind. Negative mental states persist through continual rebirth until one's intentions become wholesome. Once fully enlightened, one is liberated from rebirths, reaching a state of absolute selflessness resulting in ultimate bliss called Nirvana--the "Deathless State." One becomes Buddha (or one with Buddha). Some Buddhists, especially modern Western, don't emphasize or believe in literal rebirth.

And under Unitarian Universalism I find this very interesting:
After Death
Diverse beliefs, but most believe that heaven and hell are not places but are symbolic.

like a few on here, I find that I may need to read into the other philosophies other than what matched me "perfectly".

So one of the questions I have for those of you who have already done this:
Do you agree with the results the quiz showed you?

Me personally, I agree with what mine showed me, but to be honest other than the ones below showing up so high, I expected the results I got (with of course the other exception of the thoughts I had no clue about):

4. Liberal Quakers (74%)
6. Secular Humanism (71%)
7. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (68%)
10. Reform Judaism (63%)
