You scored as atheism. You are... an atheist, though you probably already knew this. Also, you probably have several people praying daily for your soul.

Instead of simply being "nonreligious," atheists strongly believe in the lack of existence of a higher being, or God.

No shock here

You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. You neither believe nor disbelieve in God. You don't believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof).

Agnosticism is a philosophy that God's existence cannot be proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout believer if he or she does not truly believe.

The combination of an (American-style Protestant) evangelical message for anyone who scores high on Christianity (see [info]nwhyte's results), and this gratuitous misdefinition of atheism to include only strong atheism makes me think this quiz isn't even up to the high standards we expect for a "bit of silly fun".

With the additional fun that, after the evangelising, the definition of "Christian" is Roman Catholic!

I got nearly the same result, although to be fair I'm slightly less of a Satanist than you.
But the presence of Satanism as second choice for both of us suggests strongly to me that the test was created by a Christian. I mean, what could either of us have possibly said that suggested that we would worship Satan, and... whatever people who believe in Satanists think Satanists would do?
Well, I guess moral relativism, believe that we should generally be allowed to do what we like, abortion is a right not an abomination and so on - suggesting that "Satanist" is a cyper for not-Christian...?

Oh, now that I read Feorag's comments and go click on [info]nwhyte's results I see the "mildly evangelical" message there, so yessss.
At least they don't try and convert agnostics or atheists. But I totally agree with Feorag that it's annoying that "atheist" is defined so strongly. I consider myself an atheist despite being sensible enough to acknowledge that I can't prove some kind of god or supernatural force doesn't exist - I just think it's so far-fetched I needn't bother considering it a real option.

I do have a habit of getting annoyed at how these "strongly agree ... strongly disagree" tests strangely fail to pick up on the nuances of the issues.
