Could You Pass the US Citizenship Test?
You are a Self-Discoverer
You're not religious, but you've created your own kind of spirituality. Introspective and thoughtful, you tend to look inward for the divine. You are distrusting of all forms of organized religion. You especially dislike religious gurus and leaders, who you feel are charlatans.
What's Your Religious Philosophy?
Music:
Hey... Go listen to Vinnie Zummo's music. I think he's great. If you share my taste in music, you might think so too!

Television:
The Daily Show, Dinner for Five (on IFC), Project Greenlight, Avengers reruns & Saint reruns on BBC, lots of documentaries and some of those home & garden shows.

Heroes:
My heroes include those who choose what is just and fair over what is personally profitable, those who work to make the lives of others better without a hidden agenda, those who are down and out but strive to be good people nonetheless. My heroes include anyone who recognizes their own prejudices and works to overcome them. In short, if you're a good person who doesn't try to dictate how others should think or live, if you're a person who cares about other people and looks for the things we have in common rather than the things that divide us, then you're a hero in my book.
