I wanted to make a new thread with the link to the 15-question religious survey that 3,600~ Americans took and very poorly failed (except the Atheists/Agnostics/Jews which did well compared to Catholics/Southern Baptists). I was just afraid the thread would get closed and/or has been already made.

I just wanted to see how people scored. :-/ I got 14/15 right where as everyone I work with got around 5~ right.

But making a thread on religion is scary business on the interwebz.

Post the link, I'm curious now.

sec

edit: and done.. no cheating!!

It's actually very very easy and I think the 3,400 people that took the quiz were fucking idiots. But then again like I said.. everyone at work utterly failed it and were all in the "Southern Baptist" category.

Oh and make sure to compare your results to the other 3,400 people!

Edit again: I had some friends on facebook and IRL take it who consider themself agnostic/atheist/other and all got 13-14/15 right. Fucking question #8.. everyone of us got it wrong and it wasn't even hard if you know your bible stories.

**Cyn** · 2011-01-03 23:18

Damn, I only got 11/15. That last question I had no fucking clue in particular lol.

**Jak** · 2011-01-03 23:18

Which ones did you guys get wrong? Again, I reiterate.. fuck you #8. I could have been 100%.

**Qalbert** · 2011-01-03 23:20

I was skimming too fast and just read "Can the teacher read from the Bible" without bothering to read the "for literature" bit and was like lol no

**Jak** · 2011-01-03 23:23

A lot of the ones my co-workers got wrong were obviously the "ungodly" religion questions but oddly enough they got those two "can the teacher.." ones wrong too.

And I quote (okay, maybe not word-for-word) from one of my co-workers..

"Of course the motherfucking teacher can pray, it's America godamnit"

"Of course the motherfucking teacher can't read the bible, those damn Obama lovers took that away!!"

**Cyn** · 2011-01-03 23:26

Eh? 8 is pretty easy, there's an entire book of the bible written about the dude lol. One question that tripped me up was #6, I don't know all that much about the teachings of Catholicism and assumed it would be the same as Christianity.

**Jak** · 2011-01-03 23:27

Yah, like I said.. if I had just thought more than 5 seconds on the question I wouldn't have missed it.. I can pretty much tell the whole life-story of the dude (lolsundayschool).

Btw, this whole survey thing was brought up because they were discussing the "impending doom" and "jesus-rapture" due to falling birds and dying fish. They started getting all religious and I dropped this quiz-bomb on them and made them feel less adequate.

**Cyn** · 2011-01-03 23:27

Jewish Sabbath screwed me too, other than that was the question at the end and accidentally picking the wrong option for the Pakistan question.

**Moss** · 2011-01-03 23:29

14/15 somehow lol, I felt like I had to make an educated guess on a lot of them

missed the one about communion of all things, I used to fucking take communion too when I was a young lad

I concur, which is why I will not pursue this any further.

**chiyio** · 2011-01-03 23:35

I did ok. I'm pretty hard core atheist so I fit the trend. The only way to believe is to not know anything about religion, it's kind of sad in a way.

*edit. Now that I read who does well, it's no wonder I did extra well. I'm in Utah, mormon central,and mormons also do very well. Really, all the questions about religion were easy, it was the "history" ones I probably missed.

**shiarua** · 2011-01-03 23:37

I got 14/15.. missed the one about communion as well. I should know this, being raised Lutheran and having lots of family who are Catholic...

**Jak** · 2011-01-03 23:38

The more you know about religion the less you want religion, amirite? Seems to be the going thing.
