How well do you know Religion?

[Vulcan]

13/15 but a few questions seemed to be American related, so I'm not really up on their laws and history.

I grew up in an atheist home but I remember while in school, knowing more about the Bible than my religious classmates. Strange because I never made any effort to pick it up but just heard and read this and that about it, mostly from doing a lot of reading and English class.

I'm far from being an Atheist 14/15 but guessed on the 2 American teacher questions. The New Awakening ? & the MLK question seemed like the right guess.
100% raised Christian.

15/15 - I thought the questions were kinda simple.

I knew about them because of the Big Bang Theory.

Missed the great awakening, 14/15

Just ML. Not MLK.

There are idiots no matter what banner you fly under. I've never thought it fair to say one side has more fanatics than another. Religion, politics, brand fanboyism... list goes on.

11/15; second guessed 3 of the questions and got them wrong. Guessed on probably just as many and got them right.

I consider myself religious. But at the same time I would say I question far too much as well to be "legit". Not quite agnostic, more or less monodeism instead last time I checked. Haven't really thought about it in a long while. Been busy with other things.

15/15, although for a supposed "religion" quiz the majority of the questions were about Christianity in particular. One question about Hinduism and one about Buddhism is hardly enough to make it qualify as a general knowledge test.

If you are a practicing member of a religion and you didn't get any of the questions pertaining to other religions right, you should study up. Narrow-mindedness is not something to be proud of.

13/15. Blew the date of Sabbath, misread the question about bread and wine, and (correctly) guessed on the last question. I had to think a little more about the "America" oriented questions since I'm not familiar with their court rulings. Really though, most questions are really easy and you could use common sense to get through it with a higher score than most individuals.

I guess I should identify my religion: agonist with atheist leanings.

14/15

14/15 Guessed correctly the last question. Read Pakistan but thought India and got that one wrong.

12/15

[Nyah]

Yeesh...not very well apparently: 8/15

[Huntingwhale]

-3/15

14/15. Had no clue on the final question.

I agree with the education assessment. I can attribute my score to the Anthropology, Sociology, and History courses I have taken over the last 3 years.

15/15, I'd call myself and Apathetic Agnostic.
I split time between catholic and public schools as a kid, one side of the family was very Catholic, while the other was very Atheist, made for amazing Christmas parties.
I also spent a year in Utah during high school, so got to see the Mormon side of things from the inside.
Religion has always intrigued me, more so from the psychological effect it has on followers, so I like to do research. Little quizzes like that are fun, just hammers home the point that religions are bad. lol

[takinghits]

12/15 as a christian.

Don't know any jews so got their sabbath wrong.

Got Job one wrong Most preachers today in my experience don't spend a lot of time on the old testament.

Also never heard of the First Great Awakening.

Those two questions were jarringly out of place. Even the last question was more aimed at people with knowledge of the history of American evangelism than "religion" in general. Not to mention a question about Mormonism, which is of little importance outside the USA.

Actually, now that I think about it, that questionnaire was crap. I could scrawl a better quiz on a coupon while standing in line to buy groceries. While drunk!

9.

The 9 I got write are mostly all things I learned from going to a catholic school or things I consider relatively common knowledge.

I have not looked into learning more about most of these religions as the notion of religion and spirituality is something I just can't get myself to believe in.

Yet the circumstances and implications of the majority of them are interesting as hell. Pun partially intended.
