Re: "Are you smarter than an atheist" quizBoth Buddhism and Hinduism do (I don't know about Sikhism and the other Indian religions). It's something that was drummed into my head at school back in the good old days of R.E.(Original post by Foghorn Leghorn)
I thought that as well!!!! I put buddhism because that was the first that sprung to mind, but I'm certain most indian religions have nirvana as a philosophy! -

Re: "Are you smarter than an atheist" quiz29/32
91%
Brought up as a Catholic but don't identify as anything anymore.
The quiz was incredibly insulting. 'Do you happen to know...' why would I not know??? Just ask the question! Also the format was irritating and the webpage lagged like anything.
And why was there nothing on Sikhism? Going by the options for most of the questions it would seem that the major world religions according to Americans are: Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Mormonism, Catholicism and Protestantism. Really annoyed me. -

Re: "Are you smarter than an atheist" quiz29/32
The only ones I got wrong were the question on when the Sabbath starts (I put Saturday, but it starts on Friday; still as I understand it Jews traditionally consider the day to start at night so technically Saturday is equally valid because by Jewish tradition Friday night is Saturday), the first question on the U.S. Supreme Court ruling (why, as a European, would I know this?), and the First Great Awakening (a mainly Protestant American phenomenon).Last edited by Einheri; 04-04-2012 at 14:10. -

Re: "Are you smarter than an atheist" quizAre you protestant? I never liked the protestant interpretation. I was raised a Catholic and the Body of Christ in relation to the Eucharist at the Last Supper, where Jesus claimed this bread was his body, made perfect sense in comparison to we are the body of Christ because we follow Christ(Original post by Architecture-er)

Re: "Are you smarter than an atheist" quiz30/32 Slipped up on Maimonides being Jewish and the ruling by the US Supreme Court that the Bible can be used as an example of literature. Other than that pretty good really
Most of the questions are just common knowledge really and the sort of questions that could come up in a pub quiz.

Re: "Are you smarter than an atheist" quizI got 21/32 - the atheist average.
Was kicking myself over some of the answers I gave though, and could have got 25+ if I was thinking proprly - don't know how Americans manage to average a mere 16/32, that's very low! -

Re: "Are you smarter than an atheist" quizYeah I'm protestant, doesn't it strike you a bit weird to say it's the actual body and blood of christ..?(Original post by Id and Ego seek)

Communion is a symbolic gesture, not cannibalism? Or, on the flipside, Jesus wasn't made out of Hovis' finest -

25/32. Can't believe I said Jesus was born in Nazareth rather than Bethlehem
I was thrown by the question about public school teachers being unable to pray in classes, surely it wouldn't be illegal in a religious school (similar to a C of E in england?) -
