I'm not sold on the 'accuracy' of this quiz (as opposed to the ones like this, ahem, or this one). In fact, this seems to directly contradict this result. I do believe in enjoying life at the moment, instead of waiting, but the problem is reality keeps intruding. I'd like to be able to drink wine, paint/photoshoppe and play guitar all day, but rare is the day that I am allowed to do so. I think it was the question about summering in Tuscany that labeled me....
Perhaps it is the first sentence that bothers me: the Ten Commandments are not really evil - I just like the maxim, do no harm better.

You are one of life’s enjoyers, determined to get the most you can out of your brief spell on Earth. Probably what first attracted you to atheism was the prospect of liberation from the Ten Commandments, few of which are compatible with a life of pleasure. You play hard and work quite hard, have a strong sense of loyalty and a relaxed but consistent approach to your philosophy.
You can’t see the point of abstract principles and probably wouldn’t lay down your life for a concept though you might for a friend. Something of a champagne humanist, you admire George Bernard Shaw for his cheerful agnosticism and pursuit of sensual rewards and your Hollywood hero is Marlon Brando, who was beautiful, irascible and aimed for goodness in his own tortured way.
Sometimes you might be tempted to allow your own pleasures to take precedence over your ethics. But everyone is striving for that elusive balance between the good and the happy life. You’d probably open another bottle and say there’s no contest.
