I introduce to you the excellent, revealing Belief-O-Matic.
The answers you give are compared to the answers given by believers of other faiths, and the test results show you what percentage of overlap you have with each faith. There are links to what a member of any given faith would have answered to the questions, so you can explore the Beliefnet website to discover your similarities and differences. I suspect this will provide food for thought to atheists as well.
It doesn't matter to me what your results are, but I'd be interested in whether you found the test interesting, useful, or surprising.

Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (100%)
Not surprising. Interesting questions, but there probably could have been a lot more variety to the answers. I found some of them hard to answer.
1. Unitarian Universalism (100%)
2. Mahayana Buddhism (92%)
3. Neo-Pagan (92%)
4. Liberal Quakers (90%)
5. New Age (86%)
6. Theravada Buddhism (84%)
7. Taoism (70%)
8. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (70%)
HA! This quiz failed to peg me, unlike certain other recently taken quizzes.
I am birderpagan, hear me roar! However, I think Taoism does the best job of any organized religion of describing my worldview.
I thought the quiz was good, but there was too much focus on a Judeo-Christian way of thinking.
1. Secular Humanism (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism (100%)
3. Theravada Buddhism (87%)
4. Liberal Quakers (83%)
5. Neo-Pagan (78%)
6. Nontheist (72%)
7. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (67%)
8. Taoism (63%)
9. New Age (60%)
10. Mahayana Buddhism (57%)
That basically covers me, since I'm a self-identified atheist. Makes me wonder that Secular Humanists and UU folks get exactly the same rating. Still, it's nice to know I'd have a home if I ever started to feel the need of a congregational community!

I always have a hard time taking this test. I am certain about what I do believe, but I am still undecided about many of the cosmological, Big Picture questions. There were times that I couldn't decide which of two options to select. It concerns me that I have commonality with Scientology, New Age, and New Thought. If I go explore some of those links, I'll have a better understanding, I think.
