I don't normally do these but this one made me chuckle.
Scientific atheist: 67%
Agnostic: 50%
Apathetic atheist: 50%
Spiritual atheist: 50%
Angry atheist: 33%
Theist: 25%
Militant atheist: 17%
Mostly not too far from the truth, although I'm not angry even 33%, and I'm certainly 0% theist.
I question the assumptions of the quiz itself! Do I win?

You scored as a Scientific Atheist
These guys rule. I'm not one of them myself, although I play one online. They know the rules of debate, the Laws of Thermodynamics, and can explain evolution in fifty words or less. More concerned with how things ARE than how they should be, these are the people who will bring us into the future.

I think that the rather high scores in the last three might be due to me being a non-native English speaker.

Perhaps the quiz was not for me as a Christian, and my scientific outlook probably affected the results as well!
For example, I answered 'true' to <>
Many Christians fail to understand the scientific meaning of the word 'theory'.

The "angry" and "militant" parts are a bit amusing- I think there's a big difference between feeling passionate and feeling angry, but whatever, maybe the Bible-thumpers I deal with regularly annoy me more than I admit.
But what the hell is a "spiritual" atheist?

taliesin Posted Jun 17, 2007
Icotan, your site blocker thing is a bit paranoid, I think.
The results aren't as interesting, or indeed amusing, as some of the questions, so just for you, here, in no particular order, are all *42* questions from the quiz:
(True/Don't Know/False)
1. Why does anyone still believe in God? They're just stupid!
2. I meditate to relax and seek peace.
3. I enjoy immersing myself in natural beauty, wherever I find it.
4. Don't preach to me about religion... or about anything, really.
5. Evolution is just a theory, it's never been proven.
6. Organized religion is the worst thing that has ever happened to the world!
7. The only thing I believe is that what you believe is false.
8. You cannot create something from nothing, there must be a God!
9. I believe in the perfection of the human spirit, not God.
10. Publishing in a peer-reviewed magazine is one way to get my respect.
11. There is definitely an objective moral quality to every action.
12. Even if I found out for sure that God was real, I wouldn't worship him!
13. If I hear, "Evolution is just a theory!" one more time, I'm going to scream.
14. Praying doesn't have anything to do with God.
15. It's hard for me not to start conversations about religion.
16. Jason Gastrich and logic are not well acquainted.
17. I have started an argument with a religious member of my family.
18. Atheists will go to hell.
19. Christians suck! I hate Christians! Christianity should be illegal!
20. I can't possibly know for sure that there is no god so I won't say that.
21. I will debate the religious anytime, anyplace.
22. I am a member of an organized religion.
23. I don't understand why religion is such a sensitive topic.
24. Militant atheists are just as bad as religious fundamentalists.
25. The burden of proof lies with the believer, not the non-believer.
26. Kent Hovind is a moron with fake degrees and a poor grasp of science.
27. I like debating religious people, but I tend to end up calling them names.
28. Unfalsifiable hypotheses are worthless.
29. If I experienced proof of a god, I would begin to believe.
30. Everyone needs to relax about religion. It's not that important.
31. The invisible and the non-existent look very similar.
32. God doesn't exist? Fine. God does exist? Fine.
33. Who cares if there's a god? What I can see is more important.
34. I like to hedge my bets with regards to the afterlife.
35. I don't know and you don't either, so shut up about it.
36. I don't have a problem with religion as long as it's not shoved down my throat.
37. I don't understand the religious at all. It's like they're not even human.
38. The universe is definitely structured.
39. I have started or post often on an atheists-only website.
40. I know there isn't a god, but that doesn't stop me from being spiritual.
41. I was hurt deeply by religious people and have never forgiven them.
42. I tear up bible tracts that I find in public places.

And here's all 7 possible results:
Scientific Atheist
These guys rule. I'm not one of them myself, although I play one online. They know the rules of debate, the Laws of Thermodynamics, and can explain evolution in fifty words or less. More concerned with how things ARE than how they should be, these are the people who will bring us into the future.
Militant Atheist
Willing to take theists to task, the Militant Atheist is someone who knows deep within themselves that there is no god and they want to tell you all about how they know. Even though they're as annoying in their own way as militant theists, this is often a phase of development and doesn't tend to last very long. If it does, they're in danger of becoming an Angry Atheist and making everyone uncomfortable.
Apathetic Atheist
Meh... whatever. Apathetic Atheists tend towards disbelief because believing takes more work. These are the people who won't argue religion, even if a total nutjob confronts them because arguing just seems like a waste of time they could spend doing something else.
Spiritual Atheist
Ah! Some of the coolest people in the world are Spiritual Atheists. Most of them weren't brought up in an organized religion and have very little baggage. They concentrate on making the world a better place and know that death is just another part of life. What comes after, comes after.
Agnostic
Agnostics consider the possibility that they may be wrong about God's existence, no matter which side of the fence they stand on. Always willing to objectively evaluate the most ridiculous proof, nevertheless, these guys are skeptics of the Nth degree.
Angry Atheist
Whoah! Down boy! It's time to let go of the belligerence and let someone else talk for a while. Even if the religious don't make must sense, you should probably observe the unspoken rules for human interaction and not yell directly into their faces.
Theist
You scored as Theist, Why did you take a quiz specifically for atheists? Are you illiterate as well as deluded? Go sing at a brick wall or give your money to a corrupt pedophile or something.

Well, without doing the quiz, I'm already a self-defined Atheist Fundamentalist.
>>42. I tear up bible tracts that I find in public places.
I got to tear a dogeared one up in Oxfam the other week. It made a change from copies of The Da Vinci Code. I think I shocked a couple of the other volunteers.

See, I keep some of them- because there's a place called Chick Publications that makes these comic-book tract things that are so vile, they're a sort of camp collector's item here, sold in most comic shops for 25ยข or more apiece. No sense tearing those up, if they're good for a laugh.

Cheers for the info - shall have to try it at home!
I think maybe the 'adult content' is a warning to those who simply believe what they're told that a bit of maturity and thinking for oneself is required for atheism
