Results of Religious Knowledge Survey In

It tells me, according to the %'s of correct answers, the average less than 50% of Americans know what they are talking about concerning religion, both their own and others.

There is no better love between 2 people than mutual respect for each other WT Young, 2002Who gave anyone the authority to call me an authority on anything. WT Young, 1969Since Evolution is only ~90% correct it should be thrown out and replaced by Creation which has even a lower % of correctness. W T Young, 2008

I had to guess (I was smart enough to rule out Billy Graham from the start), so I can only claim a half-point for that one. I don't think I've ever heard of the Great Awakening. (And it looks to me like it didn't work.)

93%. Had to guess on the last one and got it wrong. Though I had known about two of the Great Awakenings, having read about them years ago in an obscure book, History of the End of the World. They kept predicting the end being near, just a few years away, and it kept failing to happen. As I understand, that's where the Adventists came from.Oh yeah, demographics. Atheist since about 1963, so about 47 years.

I got them all wrong. Scored a perfect 0%.Had to think hard on that last one though.

Look at the table titled: Mormons and evangelical know more about christianity; ...You should've maybe read the article before commenting Edited by slevesque, : No reason given.

It tells you nothing of the sort. I would predict that almost every single Hindu got every question about Hinduism right, almost every Muslim got every question about Islam right, almost every Jew got every question about Judaism right, and so on, because there was only one or two of each. This means the majority of all these could well know their own religion inside out, for all you know. There were far more questions on Christianity, so Christians fared less well, but they still, on average, got slightly over half the questions about their own religion right. Mormons and white Evangelicals did better on the Christian questions than did atheists.

Jason was not a zombie. He could not die. Very different.

To expand on this, it seems that 1% of the survey respondents were Jewish, 1% Muslim, 1% other faith. With the exception of 1% who refused to say, the rest were all Christian or non-religious - mostly Christian. Clearly, this survey really does tell us next to nothing at all about the religious knowledge people of most faiths in the US.

ABE: Whoops, I read Jesus instead of Jason. Wierd...

He died, was buried, and then rose again.From the Nicene Creed:

quote:

---

For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered, died, and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in fulfillment of the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
