This is an online version of the religious knowledge test. There are 15 multiple choice questions. Once you finish you can compare your results with the general population and see the results of those who took the original version.

I scored 14 out of 15 and am told that I am ranked in the top 1% of the population. Unfortunately this isn't really a good test for religious knowledge. The questions are too few and superficial. I was tempted to say that the writings of St Thomas Aquinas caused the reformation, rather than Martin Luther. But I digress.
Originally posted by Conrau KI scored 10/15...better than I expected to be honest. I suppose it's interesting that for my lack of diligent and comprehensive reading of such 'literature' I still tread the eastern slope of the bell curve. 😕

5) How was Jesus baptized?
6) According to Luke 22:14-20 what did Jesus command us to do?
7) How often?
8) At Luke 11:2 who's name is to be sanctified?
9) Is the word "Rapture" in the Bible?
10) Was Jesus ever in Hell?
11) What description did Lazarus give of heaven while he was dead before Jesus resurrected him?
12) What was the gift of speaking in tongues that some had in the early congregations?
13) Is it still a gift today?
14) According to 1 John 5:19 who is the world under control of at this time?
15) What is the Lake of Fire that Satan will be thrown into at Rev 20:10?

Christian doctrine was fabricated only nearly 2000 yrs ago, and the teachings of Jesus were raped by the compilers of the Bible for their own purposes, so why does almost everyone consider those teachings the "all and all" of religious thought?
Its clearly not.
Originally posted by vishvahetuNow hold on there, you make it sound as if fabricating doctrine is a bad thing. After all, if you didn't think it was fabricated what would you have to do with your time? Hmmm?

Originally posted by vishvahetuWell, I counted six questions which were specifically concerned with non-Christian religions. Only a few were actually related to doctrine (such as the Catholic teaching on transubstantiation) and a few were simply general knowledge (the main religion of Pakistan.) It is also hard to see how knowing that Joseph Smith founded the LDS constitutes religious knowledge. Anyway, I don't think that this test at all suggests Christian doctrine as the reference for all religions.
