How much do you know about religion?

How much do you know about religion?

And how do you compare with the average American? Here's your chance to find out.

Take our short, 15-question quiz, and see how you do in comparison with 3,412 randomly sampled adults who were asked these and other questions in the U.S. Religious Knowledge Survey. This national poll was conducted by the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion & Public Life from May 19 through June 6, 2010, on landlines and cell phones, in English and Spanish.

When you finish the quiz, you will be able to compare your knowledge of religion with participants in the national telephone poll. You can see how you compare with the overall population as well as with people of various religious traditions, people who attend worship services frequently or less often, men and women, and college graduates as well as those who did not attend college.

For a full analysis of the findings of the U.S. Religious Knowledge Survey, read the full report.

11 out of 15, but if I had gone with my initial answer, I would have had 13 out of 15. Second guessing is not my friend.

Kool test.

11/15. ok-I can live with that as a test just like history in the 7th grade. Having been out of the stream on main stream religion for so long affected my score in this particular test. Do I care?? Not really, as I have no issue with people who believe differently than I. In the quantum field, reality is constructed according to our own perspectives. We all see what we have conditioned ourselves to see. If you are red
in the rainbow, do you see red?

Enough for now......

Thank you one and all,

Funny I was brought up Pentacostal, I didn't know it at the time, Assembly of God, I told my Dad i was going to a Catholic church with a friend, Jez he had a fit, and no way was I going to a church where they eat bread and think it is god, and worship symbols, Hahah I married a Catholic

Down in this neck of the woods the baptists and methodists run from Pentecostals.
Most of the women and girls wear long skirts and never cut their hair.

The moral compass of old and what we were brought up under, has been shattered into many pieces. Much to our shame and for some regret. :'(

I was raised Baptist, and we weren't allowed to say any of the normal curse words, plus darn or fart. Weird. We had to say "toot". Even then, I wondered to myself how certain words could mean the same things, but one of the words was forbidden. "Pissed" was certainly not allowed, we had to say "t'd" (as in 'ticked off', I think).

I remember the first time I said a curse word, I was probably 10 years old, and it was intentional. I looked conspicuously all around me, and said "shit", and it was one of the scariest moments of my life. Livin' life on the edge, I tell ya. ;D I knew I was going to have to pay for that brief moment of freedom. And I did.

k-os, you certainly have an eloquent way of painting a word picture! I hope you're keeping a journey on your most excellent mystery tour!

What a nice thing to say! Thank you. I am keeping a journal for my family, and they seem to like it. :)

I did not take the quiz because I already know that I do not know very much (if anything) about religion.
