What kind of humanist are you?

I discovered this test over at Be Reasonable and here are the results:

Hardhat




You are an atheist, a rationalist, a believer in the triumph of science and of reason over libido. You can�t stand mumbo jumbo, ritual, spiritual nonsense of any kind, and you refuse to allow for these longings in others.

Astrologers, Scientologists and new�age crystal ball creeps are no different in your view from priests, rabbis and imams. They�re all just weak�minded pilgrims on the road to easy answers. Nature as revealed by science is awesome enough for you, but it�s a nature that needs curbing and taming by us on our evolutionary journey to perfection.

Your heros are Einstein, Darwin, Marx and � these days � Gould, Blakemore, Watson, Crick and Rosalind Franklin. Could you be hiding a little behind those absolutist views, worried that, if you let in a few doubts and contradictory ideas, the whole edifice might crumble? Loosen up a bit and try to enjoy the amazing variety of human belief systems. Don�t worry � it�s unlikely you�ll end up chanting your days away in some distant mountain cult.
