Here are all the results with descriptions

Ascetic
You are completely and totally devoted, to the point that the habits and details of your day are determined by your religious beliefs. Groups that fall into this category are often Orthodox or Hasidic Jews, Catholic monks and nuns, Amish, and Sunni Muslims.

Transcendent
You are very faithful, and so much so that you have achieved a higher level of understanding and self-transformation in your quest to build a relationship with your god, nirvana, or your religion's most revered being.

Devoted
You love your religion and everything about it. You go above and beyond just being present, and your religion is a part of your everyday life, not just on the days that you are supposed to attend services. You pray or meditate daily or a few times a day because you want to, not because you feel you have to.

Attendant
You attend services when you are supposed to, volunteer for functions, service, or charity when asked, and you make sure to pray or meditate at the prescribed times. But sometimes, when reading your religious text or listening to your religious leader, your mind wanders or you check your watch to find out when you can go. If you want to reach a higher faith in your religion, take a deep breath and focus on the main point, be it a relationship with your god or reaching a transcendent state.

Observant
You go to services most of the time; you claim your religion as a badge; and you celebrate all holidays and pray or meditate when the situation warrants it. You know a little about your religious texts, but you haven't read much of them. If you want to grow deeper in your faith, set aside some time each week (not pre-prescribed times, like services) to learn more about your faith.

Lapsed
You attend services on holidays, for weddings, and for funerals, but most of the year, you don't attend. You know the basics of your religion, enough to check the box, but it's more of a rote thing for you. Grow in your faith by learning more about it, observing how the faithful in your religion benefit from it, and reading your religion's texts!
