[ChristineES]

I scored 14/15. The only one I didn't know was #15--about the "First Great Awakening" (I guessed and I guessed wrong).

I only got the one wrong about the dominant religion of pakistan. I was going to put islam, but thought it was a trick question so put xtianity.

I honestly guessed the last one. rthe first 2 I didn`t know but I put what seemed more likely base dto what I`ve heard in this forums (yay! I do laearn here ) and those I did well.

I got wrong in: the dominant religion of pakistan, ramadan (rama, I thought so much it was hindu ) and the one about the sabath (all my life I would have swore it was on saturday! :cover: )

I found an interesting set of stats...

Overall population score was 50%
When divided into worship service attendance...
At least weekly: 52%
Monthly/Yearly: 48%
Seldom/Never: 49%

So it makes hardly any difference whether you go regularly or never...

13/15

I got the one wrong about the Jewish Sabbath (thought it started Saturday) and the one about the "First Great Awakening" (Not at all familiar with that).

Same here.
That 'First Great Awakening' stumped me.
But, hey, I apparently know more about this stuff than 93% of the American public.
Yay... >_>

I liked how this one had a little bit of history to it. Two questions isn't much, but then again for 15 questions overall I guess two isn't too bad.

I didn't even know we had a Great Awakening.
(Must've slept thru it.)

Wow! You must be pretty old then if you slept through that.

Missed the Sabbath question and the First Great Awakening.

C'est la vie.

What *is* the Great Awakening..?

Great Awakening - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm kind of surprised folks don't know about the Great Awakening. That was covered in basic US history when I was in school. If you're not from the States, I can understand not having learned that, though.

15/15, Yay!

 

[gnomon]

15/15.

Give me a cookie.

Now there are some quizes, such as those at the sporcle site, where you have a time limit and must fill in the blank to answer such quizzes as: Name the books of the Bible by popular story.

I fail miserably at those.

I thought it was pretty easy. I also was surprised at how few questions about Islam there were.

I'm not from the States, so the question stumped me.
But then again, I'm sure specific questions relating to Norwegian history would stump most people too so I'm not feeling too bad about it.

Well I have to say I'm not an American so three questions were a bit tricky for me. I was wrong on the last question: "Which one of these preachers participated in the period of religious activity known as the First Great Awakening?"

I missed that one, too.

I still scored better than 97% of the American public

BTW the quiz is ridiculously easy.

Agreed. On both points.
