Ya'll get your share of Mormons, I believe. Joel Send a noteboard - 01/10/2010 01:37:40 PM
The Mormons being much more common in the US and almost unknown elsewhere.

They have a very robust foreign missionary program, even by the standards of American evangelicals. They even picked off a wotmaniac Brit (kinda wonder how she's doing, 'cos I haven't seen her since about a year before the end. ) It IS a religion though, so it seems within the scope of a general religion test. There isn't exactly a horde of American Buddhists, but there's a question about that religion on the quiz. I DID think about that, but ultimately it's a question about a religion, IMHO, not a country.

Yeah, the last one is hard. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 11:03:46 AM 756 Views
Hah! Athiests 1 Religion 0! snoopcester - 01/10/2010 11:14:36 AM 665 Views
Atheists 2! (beat.) - 01/10/2010 11:54:42 AM 677 Views
Go team atheist! *NM* snoopcester - 01/10/2010 12:00:07 PM 316 Views
I think that from this scientific experiment (beat.) - 01/10/2010 12:08:22 PM 867 Views
I got it and I usually skipped the Great Awakening in my history classes Cannoli - 01/10/2010 11:32:47 AM 685 Views
I think in history classes outside the US the topic is omitted altogether. *NM* Legolas - 01/10/2010 11:36:41 AM 319 Views
I'm fairly sure it isn't seen as a must know in the British educational system *NM* snoopcester - 01/10/2010 11:42:07 AM 326 Views
Quite. And certainly not in New Zealand. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 11:55:27 AM 343 Views
I'm sure you're right, but it shouldn't be, because the formative influence was/is huge. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:15:09 PM 881 Views
Well, in university level American history courses, I'm sure it's mentioned. Legolas - 01/10/2010 01:20:56 PM 791 Views
I think when a country becomes a world power you need to cover more of its past. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:00:54 PM 815 Views
Depends on how much that past mingles with yours. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:08:35 PM 847 Views
Seems more like it depends on how the present mingles. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:21:56 PM 757 Views
Well. Not so much. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:28:55 PM 744 Views
I can see NZ taking that view, sure. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:11:21 PM 852 Views
But more important, I would stay, is understanding your own country snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:34:22 PM 924 Views
That last certainly seems to be NZ's point of view. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:34:59 PM 360 Views
Either New Zealand is a head of the game snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:36:25 PM 677 Views
Always. Which country was it gave women the vote first? Hmmm? Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:38:39 PM 888 Views
Quit ruining my sneering at New Zealand *NM* snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:39:59 PM 333 Views
Yeah, I worry about Oceania. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:55:23 PM 774 Views
NZ and China have a good relationship. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:56:39 PM 328 Views
There's little cause for them to argue at present. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:15:18 PM 769 Views
Certainly. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:48:50 PM 730 Views
The last one is probably the most Americocentric. Joel - 01/10/2010 12:54:30 PM 941 Views
Protestant Americocentric. Tom - 01/10/2010 01:19:20 PM 770 Views
True. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:32:58 PM 975 Views
They're a bunch of fucking Calvinist heretics. Tom - 01/10/2010 09:33:56 PM 737 Views
Which, historically, have produced a LOT of revolutionaries. Joel - 01/10/2010 11:09:52 PM 938 Views
I got the maximum too, but then I'd seen the Pew report on the whole thing. Legolas - 01/10/2010 11:12:24 AM 1013 Views
15/15: One for our side! Joel - 01/10/2010 01:05:11 PM 699 Views

Ya'll get your share of Mormons, I believe. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:37:40 PM 857 Views

Yes, but you live at the North Pole. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:54:57 PM 850 Views
Even if they have to do it by baptising every graveyard in the UK? snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:47:40 PM 850 Views
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:19:24 PM 748 Views
It is jsut a general rule not to do it to the dead snoopcester - 01/10/2010 03:24:51 PM 876 Views
Right, you're supposed to be baptized FOR the dead. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:31:50 PM 824 Views
There were some questions which had nothing to do with America in the longer version of the survey. Legolas - 01/10/2010 01:23:54 PM 820 Views
So they blow everybodys curve, eh? Joel - 01/10/2010 01:52:33 PM 869 Views

Darn, beaten by a technicality! Macharius - 01/10/2010 02:10:42 PM 610 Views
Actually, a Christian education doesn't really give anyone an out on that one. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:36:13 PM 925 Views
I think christianity used to as well? snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:38:48 PM 730 Views
