Take the Test 0

At Psychology Today Blogs, Arthur Dobrin points out that

In this most religious country in the Western world, Americans know little about anyone’s religion, even their own. The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life released the results of their 15-question quiz, answered by 3,412 randomly sampled individuals and reveals how ignorant Americans are about religion.

Take the quiz and see how you do. My results under the fold.

You answered 15 out of 15 questions correctly for a score of 100%.

There was only one question that I found at all puzzling, the one about figures of the Great Awakening. I had not heard of one of the persons. I also had to stop and think for a few seconds about Nirvana.

The rest were items which any literate person, religious or not, with a nodding knowledge of the history of the United States and of Wester Civ, should know.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
