Losing My Religion...

Found this quiz via Michael over at eclecticism. Interesting, probably because it confirms what I thought about myself.

You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. Though it is generally taken that agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in God, it is possible to be a theist or atheist in addition to an agnostic. Agnostics don't believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof). Agnosticism is a philosophy that God's existence cannot be proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout believer if he or she does not truly believe. agnosticism 92% Islam 71% Satanism 67% Buddhism 58% Paganism 46% Christianity 42% Judaism 38% Hinduism 33% atheism 33% Which religion is the right one for you?
