I'm kind of done by question 1 since all other questions have a variant on my stance. They should have a first question of do you believe in a (or many) God.

In fact pretty much all are like that, you can tell what you are by answering the first 2-3 questions.

I think Quakers also term themselves as Friends.

"Religious Society of Friends" is what Quakers refer to themselves as, I believe.

Further research reveals that it's just another name for Quakers.

I'm actually more attracted to Taoism than Unitarianism or Quakers, but I don't believe the Tao literally exists the way gravity or electro-magnetic forces do. It's a useful concept, not a physical thing. The quiz doesn't always distinguish things you believe are figurative from things you believe are nonsense.

Unitarians and Quakers are alright, though.

Surprised to see Scientology (blergh!) rated higher than Mahayana Buddhism. U.U. at 97% comes at no surprise at all to me, though.

Lots more Christians though. Was that their true goal?
