Hi everyone here are the results of my survey. The results shocked me a little because I am Roman Catholic and to get 100% on Jehovah Witness and than a 98% on Orthodox Judaism it was not what I was expecting. Although taking this survey it made me more aware of other religions and how closely they could be related to my religion.

Jehovah's Witness (100%)
2.
Orthodox Judaism (98%)
3.
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (95%)

As far as the statement that Shaw made I do agree with it in a way. For example I’m Roman Catholic and I see a lot of similarities between my religion and other religions. For instance Catholics and Protestants believe in almost the same things with very little difference. Whereas Judaism and Roman Catholics also have similar beliefs, although one believes that the messiah already came while the other religion is still waiting for it to come. Not saying that the messiah is the only difference but is a major difference between theses two religions. On the other hand I don’t agree with him because there are several religions that believe in more than one God which causes me to disagree with his statement. No one religion is right or wrong its just a matter of what the person believes in.
