If I hadn't used to regularly teach Global Studies 1 and 2 I probably wouldn't have gotten Kabbalah question and Buddha question.

Re: US Religious Knowledge Quiz
13/15
I’m younger than most of the folks on here, so give me a break.
I did find it surprising that men did better than women. I wonder why. Women tend to be more religious than men, perhaps they’re less interested in learning about other religions.

Re: US Religious Knowledge Quiz
Men tend to score very slightly higher on tests that ask the test subject various random facts about the outside world (see Weschler, 1955). With that said I wouldn’t find the slight difference to be “statistically significant”.QuietObserver wrote:13/15

The old woodcutter spoke again. “It is impossible to talk with you. You always draw conclusions. Life is so vast, yet you judge all of life with one page or one word. You see only a fragment. Unless you know the whole story, how can you judge?"
Re: US Religious Knowledge Quiz
I got the Buddhism one right because I learned about Buddhism in my world history class. 15/15 otherwise, though most questions weren't especially difficult.

Re: US Religious Knowledge Quiz
For all of you-uns that got the Kabbalah question wrong, do not lose courage.
The only reason I knew it is because we were made to read the book NIght, by Elie Wiesel in 10th grade. It's a harrowing account about his survival during the Holocaust. Anyway, it is so well written that I have read it multiple times through the years. In it, he mentions the Kabbalah, and how he was trying to get initiated into the mystic side of Judaism before his life was shattered.
Were it not for that book, I would have missed the question, too. I mean, who sits around talking about the Kabbalah on lazy Sunday afternoons?

Re: US Religious Knowledge Quiz
I got that one wrong too- 13 out of 15- the other one was Yoga- I always mistakenly associated it with Budhism which wasn't even a choice- I picked the answer then (wrong) by just guessing.Ernie wrote:I got the Kabbalah one wrong.

2Tim. 3:16,17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
