    Not sure how this test compares you to an atheist. The questions are all about the major religions and the US constitution.

    27/32 (feels slightly smug over getting that mark)

    - most of the stuff I got wrong was stuff on the US...

    Can happily say I only knew about Mormons from South Park. So thank you SP, for educating me.

    Aw do people not like South Park

    29/32. Stupidly got the question about nirvana wrong, but have never actually heard of Maimonides, so not surprised that one was wrong too. Also didn't know who inspired the protestant reformation

    Ancient Greek Paganism is a major religion?

    Martin Luther.

    I don't mean to be insulting but it's incredibly ironic that I'm an atheist and I'm telling this to a Christian...

    Fairly happy with 26/32 given I haven't done RS since finishing my GCSE, and half of that stuff was from pre-GCSE as well!

    Since you have taken the test yourself, you will remember that it actually tells you the correct answers when you get something wrong.
    So, as your post therefore does not serve the purpose of educating anyone, it surely is fair to assume that the only reason you made it is because you either meant to show off or to insult? :confused:

    The average atheist got 20.9 answers correct which, amusingly, is higher than any other religious group.

    I got 32/32 although the Maimonides and Johnathon Edwards I was unsure.

    Their definitions of agnostic/atheist are iffy and the Supreme Court stuff was pants.

    *facepalm* I stupidly chose the option that a Public Teacher was not allowed to read a bible in class. I realised my mistake just as I clicked continue...

    Interestingly enough the average score for Muslims isn't recorded, although tbh our average score would most likely be 10 (i.e. the obvious questions and the questions about us).

    It is a bit. Not insulting either, I'm honest that my 'recent' church history is not great. But then I have only been a Christian for less than three years and focused more on the teachings of Jesus in that time, than things which have happened in the last half a millennia or so

    It compares you to the average score atheists got in the test.

    You answered 25 of 32 questions correctly for a total score of 78%.

    Thank you South Park for the Mormons questions.

    25/32... Considering I refused to do RE in 3rd/4th year, when it was compulsory, and am an atheist, than I'm pretty happy with that!

    i made a mistake on the nirvana one too. as soon as i hit next i knew i was wrong. also didn't know maimonides - i hit mormon because it sounded like one of those freaky mormon names.

    i knew the protestant reformation because of the simpsons and the mormon ones because of south park (and hitchens).

    got 27/32

    also got the jewish sabbath one wrong, all i knew is that it wasn't sunday, but i didn't know if it was friday or saturday.

    If I remember correctly it's both Friday and Saturday. Doesn't it go from something like sunset on the Friday to sunset on the Saturday?
