Religiosity Scale
I don't like the word religiosity, so it was only my dedication to this blog that caused me to take a survey to rate my religiosity on the Duke Religion Index. Not a website gimmick quiz, this is part of an attempt at a more academically rigorous approach to sorting out differences. They found that I am:
EVANGELICAL: 89%
CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVE: 19%
ACTIVIST: 61%
GOLDEN RULE: 89%
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: 93%
MYSTIC: 50%
They describe these as follows:
The Evangelical dimension refers to a particular focus on prayer, evangelism or outreach, and faith as a source of strength.
The Christian Conservative dimension reflects a particular focus on avoiding acts seen as sinful, on a literal interpretation of the Bible, and on a transforming spiritual experience.
The Activist dimension refers to a focus on changing unjust structures in the world as a part of one’s practice of faith.
The Golden Rule dimension refers to a particular focus on attempting to live so that one treats others as one would wish to be treated. This dimension highlights a concern about many of the same issues found on the Activist dimension, but the focus is more on individuals and less on social structures.
The Community Involvement dimension underlines a particular focus on active participation in the church as a fellowship of faith.
The Mystic dimension reflects a particular focus on an intimate, pervasive relationship/connection to God.
