Religious knowledge

#1 Post by Alan H » January 11th, 2015, 10:43 pm

U.S. Religious Knowledge Quiz

I scored 13 out of 15 (87%) - better than 93% of the public, apparently. :D
Alan Henness

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:

1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

I got 14 out of fifteen. The last question floored me because I had never heard of First Great Awakening. I often feel these quizzes are fairly easy if an old coffindodger like me can score so high.

!0 here, but I have no idea about America's rules re religion in schools and had not heard of some of the characters named.

Wish they told one which wrong answers were made and what the right answers were - might learn something.

14. The wild guess on the "Great Awakening" triped me up; the rest, I thought, were general knowledge.

Thanks, Alt, I admit I did not think to look. :redface:

I got 14 but to be honest I'd never heard of of the last three names so it was a guess that I just got wrong.

No it's not! It's great knowledge when arguing with religionists - you usually know much more than them!

I agree with Alan. All knowledge is good (read my signature), if I remembered all that I knew I would be a bloody genius! ( :wink: )

I have been immersed in religions most of my life so I know lots about them. It's a pity you don't get paid to debate religions.
