Your Score: The Theist


You scored 20 Materialism and 10 Phenomenology!



A common mistake is assuming that “Theism” means religion. Theism isn’t religion, it is in fact metaphysics, originating with Emperor Constantine, who transformed Christianity from a minority religion to the ideological standard of Rome. What Theism simply means is that you are convinced that there is a Final Ordering Principle to the universe, that it has agency (will), that it ordains all power structures as will as instilling reality with purpose and design, and that everything must be interpreted within that context. Thinkers you may agree with: St. Thomas Aquinas, John Calvin, Iraneus. Thinkers to challenge you: Bertrand Russell, Richard Dawkins, Don Cupitt.
