My Religion Implicit Association Test Results

The religion test concluded I have a moderate preference towards Judaism as opposed to other religions. These results are to be viewed with much more scrutiny, because during the exam all religions are lumped together while Judaism remained in category of its own. On the other hand, the race test placed European Americans on the left and African Americans on the right allowing for a more balanced approach. 

In the religion test, symbols representing different religions appeared on the screen, the items representing Judaism were obvious, while most of the other icons remained mysterious. 
 
Regardless of the results I have no particular preference towards Judaism. It was simply easier to recognize the symbols of the Jewish faith. But even if I did lean towards Judaism it would be understandable because Jews and African American share common fate that binds us far beyond the laws and limitations that govern our religions.
