You can be a Jew who secretly believes in Jesus.

Besides, as far as I can tell, no question asked if you believe in Jesus. Are you retarded? :)
A few questions did explicitly mention Christ.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Just went through it again, seems like only question 4 mentions Christ.

The question asks something about "God (or Christ)". This question does NOT ask you whether you believe in Christ, since choosing this answer may simply mean you believe in God that is not Christ.

Yet, when I said that no question asks you if you believe in Christ, you claimed they do.  :huh:

I'm surprised they didn't bother including a question like that-- it would have done a much better job filtering the final results.

That would miss the point of the test completely. The purpose of the test was to take your cosmological, spiritual and moral views and give you the religion that is closest to your views. If we used your approach, they could also ask questions like "Are you a Buddhist?".

No.  The belief in Christ is fundamental to any mainstream Christian sect.  So much that if you don't believe in Christ, that should drop your compatibility down to 0%

:huh: Isn't it kind of a moot point, since no sect that denies the divinity of Christ actually claims to be Christian anyway?  At least, not AFAIK.  Right around the time that the Unitarian Church removed all dogma from its belief system is when everyone (Unitarians included) agreed they were no longer Christian, or at least not exclusively Christian (since individual Unitarians can believe in Christ's divinity if they choose to).
