Yes the results are rather interesting. It would appear I am more Buddhist than Taoist!  Then again, they are compatible in many ways.

True and interesting @scotsboyuk
Anyways this is another verse from the Holy Quran regarding creation.
Chapter 2 Verses 164/165 state:
"Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of the night and the day; in the sailing of the ships through the ocean for the profit of mankind; in the rain which Allah Sends down from the skies, and the life which He gives therewith to an earth that is dead; in the beasts of all kinds that He scatters through the earth; in the change of the winds, and the clouds which they Trail like their slaves between the sky and the earth;- (Here) indeed are Signs for a people that are wise.
Yet there are men who take (for worship) others besides Allah, as equal (with Allah.: They love them as they should love Allah. But those of Faith are overflowing in their love for Allah. If only the unrighteous could see, behold, they would see the penalty: that to Allah belongs all power, and Allah will strongly enforce the penalty."

That's interesting that we both have Unitarian Universalism at number one; a form of Buddhism at number two and Taoism at number seven.

We're more alike than either of us might care to admit! 
I practise in the Mahayana school of Buddhism. Well, Vajrayana, if you want to be pedantic.

Yes a wry grin did escape my lips at the thought ...
Ironically I have Mahayana at two whilst you have Theravada.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, my top answer was secular humanism!
