Re: US Religious Knowledge Survey
I scored 100%.
Not too surprising that the posters on this site are well above average on Religious Knowledge.

Re: US Religious Knowledge Survey
I got 14 out of 15, could have been 13. It was the last two questions about Nirvana which I got right but guessed between Buddhism and Hinduism and the second great awakening which I got wrong guessing finney

Re: US Religious Knowledge Survey
I missed 3 
1. regarding communion, I was trying to give the Catholics the benefit of the doubt... if they really believe they are eating Christ's flesh then that is cannibalism...
2. I missed the same one that Prax missed and guessed Finney (I'm not even certain what the Great Awakening is, I guess I'll have to google it).
3. I missed the one about when the Jewish Sabbath begins... being from the Southern US, I never even met a Jew until I joined the Navy and was wondering why this guy wore this little skullcap with his uniform. I'm sure I knew others, but had never seen anyone that actually performed any Jewish rituals.

Buddhists. I'll get in trouble for saying this, but Buddhism has many great concepts and contrary to popular opinion, does not worship a "God." It is basically a philosophy system and many of it's principles are based on the teachings of Jesus.

Re: US Religious Knowledge Survey
Most Americans that "affiliate" themselves with some sort of Christian sect aren't really strong members so they never really learn their own beliefs and just aren't that interested in religion to begin with to know about others.
The interesting facet are atheists and from experience they really do, a lot of them, know about a lot of religions

Totally agree. If I didn't believe the Bible was true, I'd definitely be Buddhist.
