Not “you are 87% Buddhist”
That number means nothing — it changes depending on which other religions happen to be in the list. Every religion here is scored independently on its own scale, so two can legitimately both score 91%, and you are shown the axes where you agree and the axes where you do not.

Generated from the matrix, not by a language model. Same inputs, same report, every time — and nothing in it can be invented.
Answers about religious belief are special-category data. Rather than ask you to consent to us holding them, we do not process them at all: the matrix, the 85-question bank and the whole scoring engine ship to your browser and run there. Nothing is transmitted while you answer, and nothing about your free result is ever stored. The paid report keeps one copy, encrypted in your browser, so your receipt link opens it anywhere. How that works.
