so as a result, I came up better suited to Bhuddism.

Both Islam and some parts of what I know of Bhuddism actually do inspire me - I practice Islam - but I am drawn to some parts of Buddhist Philosophy, as I have been reading quite a bit about it and I do practice the art of meditation to overcome attachments.

I'm ok with this result - as I believe Bhuddism can be in part incorporated into the Islamic way of living - Islam has the faith in God sorted, as well as many other aspects - Bhuddism is a philosophy and encourages a concentrated form of handling suffering and attachments that we often allow to linger around in our lives.

Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Buddhism. Do more research on Buddhism and possibly consider becoming Buddhist, if you are not already. In Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths: (1) Life is suffering. (2) All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality and the craving, attachment, and grasping that result from such ignorance. (3) Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment. (4) The path to the suppression of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path, which consists of right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right-mindedness, and right contemplation. These eight are usually divided into three categories that base the Buddhist faith: morality, wisdom, and samadhi, or concentration. In Buddhism, there is no hierarchy, nor caste system; the Buddha taught that one's spiritual worth is not based on birth

Buddhism 75%
Islam 75%
Yeah i also had almost the same, Islam (esp, sufism) & Buddhism way of life seem to have so much in common,
i ended up scoring Islam but not too far from Buddhism, i first thought Christianity will come as a second most suitable religion to me, but am not shocked as well, there were determining question that mostly were the ones took Christianity out of my range of beliefs; such as: Jesus died for our sins. Jesus is God..
