Religious Knowledge
This agnostic Buddhist1 got 100% on the quiz. Whats your score2?
Pew survey on religious knowledge:
http://features.pewforum.org/quiz/us-re ... knowledge/
_____________________
1 The earliest surviving collection of sayings directly attributed to the Buddha has him saying to his followers, Gods would be a good idea, if there were any.
2 After you complete the survey, you can compare your score with various categories of respondents. In general, Christians did far worse than atheists or agnostics. Evangelical Christians did worse than Mainstream Christians. Does faith really preclude knowledge???

Re: Religious Knowledge
This agnostic scored:
You answered 15 out of 15 questions correctly
for a score of 100%.
I'll admit that my answer to #15 was mostly an educated guess.

Re: Religious Knowledge
100% here for this agnostic Bokononist, and that on the original 32 question test which I hunted down on the net.

Re: Religious Knowledge
I was wrong on two questions. I missed the catholic question regarding communion. What was I doing during 12 years of catholic school. The other was the question regarding reaching Nirvana.
