Default Phone survey

I just took a phone survey for Pew Forums. Pewforums.org I really enjoy phone surveys, they're kind of fun to me. This one was going to be about 3 questions. The last question was my religion. Since I answered Mormon it then became about 50 questions.

I want to know how you all would have answered one segment of the questions.

How similar would you consider the Mormon religion and the Jewish religion?

How similar would you consider the Mormon religion and the Catholic religion?

How similar would you consider the Mormon religion and the Evangelical Christian movement?

How similar would you consider the Mormon religion and the Muslim religion?



The choices were: Very similar, somewhat similar, somewhat different or very different.

"Somewhat similar" to the two Christian religions and "somewhat different" to the two non-Christian ones, methinks.

1) somewhat different
2) very similar
3) very similar
4) somewhat different.

I decided to make Christ my major metric and Abraham my minor metric. The question is quite interesting because it forces you to think about what you define as pertinent similarities. I decided in the end that our belief in Christ is more unifying than our disagreement over canon and authority is dividing.
