Brief Questionnaire to Assess Compatibility
With Worldview Theme #10

Respond to each of the following below on a 1 to 5 scale, where
     1= strongly disagree      2 = disagree      3 = neutral      4 = agree      5 = strongly agree
If you don’t have understand, or are confused by a particular question, select 3= neutral.

Note: An * in front of the question indicates that this has been used in national public opinion surveys. 

1. I have little tolerance for faults or imperfections that I see in myself and in others. 

2. Realizing the potential of the human species will involve a long struggle with ignorance and chaos waged by promoting learning and knowledge concerned with the human condition.

3. I consider myself a champion of the dignity and worth of human beings, and of both the capacity for human self realization through reason and for responsible living through brotherhood and belonging.

*4. Independently of whether you go to church or not, you conceive of yourself as either a not very religious person or a convinced atheist.

*5. I accept others even when they do things that I think are wrong.

*6. There should be organized daily prayers in all public schools.

7. I don’t believe there is some divine reason for human existence, nor that there is some absolute moral code. Instead, I aim to discover or otherwise insert meaning, notions of good and evil, and universal values into my life.

*8. These days, a person doesn't really know whom he or she can count on.

*9. Homosexuality is something that people are born with, rather than something linked to their upbringing, or just how some prefer to live.

*10. Religion does not play a very important or even fairly important place in my life.

*11. I think that a gay person can be a good role model for a child.

*12. I consider religious and ethnic hatred to be the greatest danger to the world, more so than what pollution is doing to the environment, dangers posed by the gap between rich and poor, or nuclear weapons.

*13. Religion has too little of a presence in public schools.
