32 of 32. The only one that I guessed on was the question about the preacher associated with the First Awakening, got it right :D.

Same.

Given the elementary level of the questions, it is shocking to read this:

And most of the questions are at the level "Do you know the name of the Muslim holy book?" or "What religion do most people in India consider themselves to be?".

Yep. I was more worried about my selections hitting the wrong bubble. The questions about the Constitution were kinda tricky but most of the questions directly related to religion were Level 1 difficulty.

I did have to think about the question of which Christian sects belief in "grace alone" saving.

I am appalled!! That was easy.

In our group you're the pretty one.

Which questions did you miss?

I missed three. 91%

I thought Nirvana was associated with Hinduism.

I didn't know who started the first great awakening.

I knew that Martin Luther's writings started the Protestant Reformation, but I clicked the wrong bubble.

Which questions did you miss?

I missed the one on grace, and the preacher during the great awakening. I didn't fully read the one about the first book in the Bible and selected Old Testament, duh. And I missed some of the hindu and buddhist ones.

32 of 32. Pretty easy stuff. I'd have been screwed if this was advanced Episcopalian theology or gods of Hinduism.
