You answered 14 questions correctly.

I did guess at a couple, but this is what I got wrong.
Which religious tradition is most closely associated with Kabbalah?
Hinduism
Judaism
Had a book on Kabbalah once, which I always understood as mystical Judaism. Not something I ever studied though.

I have several Jewish friends and we've talked about it on many occasions, so the Jewish questions were easy for me.

I actually guessed on the Christianity one I got wrong, so it could've gone either way. It seemed ambiguous to me.

Was that the Catholic/Protestant question?

That's the one I got wrong. (I answered 'both' ).

Here are key findings from the report:

2 - Atheists are among the most knowledgeable about religion.
As an atheist, presumably, I would prove to be among "the most knowledgeable about religion" here (compared to the theists, as the report indicates), but the "agnostic" part of my self-identifying label might mean I was unconvinced or unsure of - or lacked belief in - my answers and therefore I'd appear to lack "courage" to commit firmly to a stance on supernatural matters. Alas, the Pew Research Center report is for Americans, so - even if I took it - as a European, the findings wouldn't apply to me.

My shift from Catholicism to following Test Cricket made sense then. There was continuity.

I have only watched a few cricket matches but can say it is far more interesting than the 8 years I spent at Catholic school.

I'd have put money on at least 10 of those.

Got these wrong.
Which of the following is one of Buddhism’s four “noble truths”?
and
Which of these religious groups traditionally teaches that salvation comes through faith alone?

Buddhist questions always refer to suffering or illusion (or a combination of both).
