You scored as Buddhism. Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Buddhism. Do more research on Buddhism and possibly consider becoming Buddhist, if you are not already.
In Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths: (1) Life is suffering. (2) All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality and the craving, attachment, and grasping that result from such ignorance. (3) Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment. (4) The path to the suppression of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path, which consists of right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right-mindedness, and right contemplation. These eight are usually divided into three categories that base the Buddhist faith: morality, wisdom, and samadhi, or concentration. In Buddhism, there is no hierarchy, nor caste system; the Buddha taught that one’s spiritual worth is not based on birth.

Well, it looks as though we match up rather well on religion. I wonder, though, how Satanism got so high for you. 😉
“The Buddha taught that one’s spiritual worth is not based on birth,” made me add mentally, “even premature birth, mudda fugga!” With the last bit influenced by recently turning on the TV and seeing a rap video which was quite horrendous.
What’s interesting is that Satanism, the actual religion, is mostly just a misdirected rebellion against Christianity.
LeVeyan Satanism: Satanism is often mistaken as being a religion that encourages cruelty and irresponsible behaviour, but LaVey’s brand is very different. Central is the idea inherited from Nietzsche that an individual must enforce his own meaning on life and rise above the perceived conformity of the masses. The Satanist is seen as equivalent to Nietzsche’s Ubermensch; LaVey claimed “Satanists are born, not made” and that “[Satanists] have a disease called independence that needs to be recognised just like alcoholism.” There is a libertarian element here; diversity is encouraged, everyone is expected to discover their own sexuality, chart their own personality, and decide their own ambitions in life. In this stress on individuality, Satanism is considered a “Left-Hand Path” religion.
Fo shizzle!
