I like the basic idea of that quiz, to put you on a continuum of different variables, kind of like a politicalcompass (never been there? add www and org) for religion.
I consider myself to be agnostic (came out as humanist, though), and my reaction to at least half of the questions were, "what do you mean I have to choose between those? Neither, I choose neither!", and I disagree with the quizmaker's map, but I liked the way the different results was described.
I think Islam, if put on this map, would overlap several others, at least Judaism/Chr and Fundamentalism both? I have this nagging feeling that it's possible Fundamentalism is meant to stand in for Islam though.
Your comment about spiritualism vs religions was very interesting. I have to confess that I usually use "spiritualism" as shorthand for either victorian ouija-bord charlatans, new age anything, or you know, Trelawny people. Which is plain stupid compared to the idea conveyed in your Native American board. And very far from how I see you.
When looking at the parameters on this map, I find that I agree more with my point on the map, if I consider what I value more rather than what I agree with or believe in or are.
