Oh Yeah, They are most definitely christian. Bible thumping, in your face, screaming the devil out of you christians. and you are most likely correct, learning about the “enemy” would seem pointless to them. I had to go through the whole gamut of experiences trying to find the “truth”, finally found it.
I got 14/15. I missed the great awakening question. I knew it was not Billy Graham so I took a shot and picked the wrong one of the other two. That’s what usually happens to me on test questions where I have a 50/50 shot so I figure I’m keeping up my own record there. 
15 out of 15. Currently Wiccan with some Buddhist and Hindu exposure, raised Presbyterian in the Bible Belt. And I’m not surprised with the overall results - a lot of the people back home seem to be the “I’m Christian, you’re not, you suck, what does the Bible say?” type.
Untied Methodist, believer, 14/15. Missed the First Great Awakening question because I’ve never heard of it…must have dozed off during that Sunday School class.
15 of 15, I am a believer.
By the way, I (a Christian) got 15/15. I knew the Great Awakening one; the ones I had to keep my fingers crossed on were the Supreme Court questions. I knew what the answers ought to be; I just didn’t recall hearing about the actual rulings.
Agreed. I responded based on what I assumed was the answer they expected. I strongly suspect the writer of the question never suspected that Hinduism and Nirvana might have anything to do with one another. Otherwise, it comes down to the question of whose concept of Nirvana, of two very similar concepts, more closely matches the description given. And there are no other questions on the quiz that come anywhere close to being that difficult.
I’ve probably said it before, but I’ll say it again. The validity of a test breaks down when the people taking the test are smarter than the people who wrote it.
See Wikipedia on Nirvana in Hinduism.
Although Hinduism has similar notions of enlightenment, the word “Nirvana” is specifically Buddhist. The word was coined by Buddha.
First off 32/32. Christian Agnostic (yes that is possible).
Secondly I respectfully disagree with:
I have partaken in that very mental process. Granted the premises are shallow and the process itself takes some cajoling but there is certainly a process. I would also have to say that belief (or the lack thereof) is most certainly a matter of volition. Now I am willing to admit that I am not among the smartest men who have ever lived but after reaching the limits of my ability to establish whether or not logic alone could definitively state the existence or non-existence of God, I came to the conclusion that in the absence of logic all that remains to resolve the question is choice. I certainly wish it was some other way but here we are.
It is not possible to choose to believe or not believe something. Belief is a dependent variable. You are eirther persuaded or not persuaded. Can you make yourself believe in the Easter Bunny? Really, sincerely believe it?
You make a good point about persuasion but I have to qualify that by saying that the reason I could not choose to really truly believe in the Easter Bunny is because I saw who put the eggs in the bushes. I didn’t see the creation of the universe so I have no way of evaluating whether God did it or not. I understand that that very point is probably among your very reasons for not believing. All I can say is that I know what I know but I don’t know what I don’t know. Could be one way, could be the other. At different points I’ve chosen both. Currently I’m choosing to believe.
How about Zeus? Could you choose to believe in Zeus? There isn’t a bit of evidence that Zeus doesn’t exist? Or smurfs either. Could you choose to believe that smurfs exist? Nobody can prove they don’t.
It would certainly be a lot easier than the Easter bunny. Although in all honesty I’ll admit it’s not likely.
Anyway I don’t want to hijak this thread so we can have this debate in a more appropriate one later.
Is there a link to the longer quiz, or do you just have to try not to look at the answers?
I don’t believe 
it’s as simple as that.
You sometimes hear someone say, “I refuse to believe …” and I think it’s not just a figure of speech: there is an element of volition involved.
One can choose to entertain, or refuse to entertain, an idea in one’s mind.
One can choose, at least to some extent, whether or not to subject one’s beliefs to challenge or testing of some sort.
One can choose to act/live as if one believes (or disbelieves) something—and the action tends to reinforce the belief (or disbelief).
I got 15/15, and it was very easy for me, but then again I have always been interested in reading about various religions. I was raised non-religious, was a strong atheist for about 10 years, and am now a Mormon.
Athiest- 15/15.
Athiest, 11 out of 15. Bad me.
Picked Saturday for the Sabbath, ooops. Also do not have any idea what the Great Awakening is, except that Billy Graham is too young for it. I grew up where it was Catholic, only Catholic, and anything else was not discussed.
The one I was wrong on that I haven’t seen much discussion about in the thread was the ‘Can a public school teacher lead a class in prayer?’. I selected ‘Yes’. I come from one of the most conservative parts of Canada and we had prayer in public school until 1993, IIRC. I thought that the US, being more conservative, would still allow it.
Also, being from the flavour of Catholicism that never actually read the Bible much, I thought Abraham led the Exodus. Hurp de derp. I know Moses parted the sea, but I never gave much thought to whether or not he led the people once they got through the sea, lol.
On the one hand, the US is in some ways more conservative and more religious than other countries like Canada and England. On the other hand, the US does not have, has never had, and constitutionally forbids a state-sponsored religion.
