ROFLOL

A pretty meaningless claim,the term is very broad.. But,you're right a waste of time if you are serious. That test is a smidge over simplified. I' m far from convinced it has any use on its own apart from mild entertainment value,like say astrology.

I think the term is full of meaning, actually.
Neither of these " tests " even mention the term!

Oh bozo, why can't you play along with a stupid little test? Why does this have to be a "See? Look at my (ideologically pure) penis!" situation?

Because socialists are evil.Tongue

Because the " test " is loaded! Socialism is not offered as an option.

Oh and I just realised I haven't directly answered the question....yes atheists can be conservative...this forum proves that!

Then you've missed the entire point of the test, which isn't to sort you into a political ideology, but is to place you on a map which shows you how left wing or right wing you are, and how authoritarian or libertarian you are.

What I also find terribly ironic is that you never complained that the test was "loaded" 2 years ago when you took it and posted it on this very forum: http://atheistforums.org/thread-611-post...ml#pid9206

Nothing ironic about it, sorry to disappoint you. I did indeed do the " test " 2 years ago. I've been awaiting an opportunity since then to point its weakness. Which organisations are responsible for these 2 tests? Do you know?
