You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. Though it is generally taken that agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in God, it is possible to be a theist or an atheist in addition to an agnostic.

It's possible to be a strong agnostic and a theist; it's not possible to be an agnostic proper and a theist.

I came up as something like 95% agnostic. My second and third were Buddism and Hinduism, that were only something in the 70% range.

The whole deal with the Satanism thing isn't what most people think. Satanist don't actually worship or believe in Satan at all. It's more of a rejection of the idea that humans are somehow seperated from the natural laws of the world, i.e. they have devine spirits or have a conscious that places them as higher than animals. They believe there are no consequences for there earthly actions in an "afterlife" and therefore live life without dogmatic restrictions. A lengthy description, but hopefully informative.

However, that'd require me to be more self-centered than I am, and I am not.

Not really; it strikes me that certain forms of existentialism could be seen as Christian agnosticism (sort of like "Jewish atheism," of which there is a long tradition), though in relation to how the philosophy says adherents should act rather than theologically speaking, of course.
