They announced that atheists know more about world religion than Christians do. I noticed in the full survey, they asked the people surveyed if they were liberal or conservative. I suspect that conservatives did better than liberals, since they did not report on the results in the demographic.

Question - which religion?
Statement - shouldn’t it be better stated - “What does one know about themselves?”

>>They announced that atheists know more about world religion than Christians do. <<

Actually, that may be true. But then, one can know everything about the man made religion called Christianity, and not know Jesus at all.

And vice versa.

My relationship with Christ has nothing whatsoever to do with Martin Luther, Mohamed, Joseph Smith or, frankly, Barnabas. One can study the Bible and unlock all it’s secrets and still know nothing about the world’s religions.

So?

Missed 2 here. Grade: 87%

Said that grade was better than 93% of the people who had taken the survey?
Pretty disgraceful really. This thread was posted last nite and someone had pointed out that ‘how do we expect to get a handle on Islam with this type of ignorance’ (paraphrasing-don’t remember the exact quote)

Not much bandwidth at the site.

That said, there was exactly one question about Catholicism per se. There were two questions about Supreme Court decisions about what of the Bible can be read or prayers allowed in public schools. Several questions about Hinduism, etc, mean that those who are wandering for quick answers to tricky questions are going to be familiar with such answers. They won’t know the deeper questions, none of which occur in this poll.

Then the poll blew up as I answered #15 correctly. I got them all which must mean I must be one of those High Atheists.

Contrariwise, I am an Orthodox Anglican priest.

14 out of 15 for this Catholic. I missed the last one about the great awakening.

No, I didn’t pick Billy Graham on that one. :-)

This ‘quiz’ isn’t about religion at all. It’s about Statist secular control, and telling the masses what they must think of religion.

14 out of 15 for me.  I missed the Buddhist question.

I am not much of a "Church goer" any more. 

I am more of a "being the Church" and much prefer to set around the living room discussing scripture with believers and non believers alike and discovering what Jesus has to say to us.

Call it House Church, Simple Church, Organic Church, or whatever where we have meatings around the dinner table which are much more enjoyable than meetings sitting in rows.
