Yes, but you live at the North Pole. Joel Send a noteboard - 01/10/2010 01:54:57 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.


There may not be all that many American buddhists, but there sure are a lot of buddhists around.

A country where someone can grow to adulthood without knowing about Mormonism; this just keeps getting better. ;) And it's a legit religion, widespread or not; certainly any poll of American religious knowledge would be incomplete without it.

Yeah, the last one is hard. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 11:03:46 AM 820 Views
Hah! Athiests 1 Religion 0! snoopcester - 01/10/2010 11:14:36 AM 739 Views
Atheists 2! (beat.) - 01/10/2010 11:54:42 AM 751 Views
Go team atheist! *NM* snoopcester - 01/10/2010 12:00:07 PM 340 Views
I think that from this scientific experiment (beat.) - 01/10/2010 12:08:22 PM 943 Views
I got it and I usually skipped the Great Awakening in my history classes Cannoli - 01/10/2010 11:32:47 AM 757 Views
I think in history classes outside the US the topic is omitted altogether. *NM* Legolas - 01/10/2010 11:36:41 AM 341 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 353 Views
Quite. And certainly not in New Zealand. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 11:55:27 AM 372 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 953 Views
Well, in university level American history courses, I'm sure it's mentioned. Legolas - 01/10/2010 01:20:56 PM 893 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 886 Views
Depends on how much that past mingles with yours. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:08:35 PM 917 Views
Seems more like it depends on how the present mingles. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:21:56 PM 837 Views
Well. Not so much. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:28:55 PM 811 Views
I can see NZ taking that view, sure. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:11:21 PM 929 Views
But more important, I would stay, is understanding your own country snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:34:22 PM 987 Views
That last certainly seems to be NZ's point of view. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:34:59 PM 383 Views
Either New Zealand is a head of the game snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:36:25 PM 752 Views
Always. Which country was it gave women the vote first? Hmmm? Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:38:39 PM 930 Views
Quit ruining my sneering at New Zealand *NM* snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:39:59 PM 358 Views
Yeah, I worry about Oceania. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:55:23 PM 843 Views
NZ and China have a good relationship. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:56:39 PM 352 Views
There's little cause for them to argue at present. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:15:18 PM 841 Views
Certainly. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:48:50 PM 802 Views
The last one is probably the most Americocentric. Joel - 01/10/2010 12:54:30 PM 1015 Views
Protestant Americocentric. Tom - 01/10/2010 01:19:20 PM 846 Views
True. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:32:58 PM 1062 Views
They're a bunch of fucking Calvinist heretics. Tom - 01/10/2010 09:33:56 PM 820 Views
Which, historically, have produced a LOT of revolutionaries. Joel - 01/10/2010 11:09:52 PM 1010 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 1117 Views
15/15: One for our side! Joel - 01/10/2010 01:05:11 PM 757 Views
I'd say it is the last 6 which are Americocentric snoopcester - 01/10/2010 01:17:44 PM 769 Views
Ya'll get your share of Mormons, I believe. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:37:40 PM 930 Views
I never even heard of mormons 'til I was 18-20. (beat.) - 01/10/2010 01:46:04 PM 884 Views
Yes, but you live at the North Pole. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:54:57 PM 922 Views
Even if they have to do it by baptising every graveyard in the UK? snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:47:40 PM 923 Views
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:19:24 PM 813 Views
It is jsut a general rule not to do it to the dead snoopcester - 01/10/2010 03:24:51 PM 948 Views
Right, you're supposed to be baptized FOR the dead. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:31:50 PM 896 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 860 Views
So they blow everybodys curve, eh? Joel - 01/10/2010 01:52:33 PM 939 Views

Darn, beaten by a technicality! Macharius - 01/10/2010 02:10:42 PM 680 Views
Actually, a Christian education doesn't really give anyone an out on that one. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:36:13 PM 988 Views
I think christianity used to as well? snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:38:48 PM 803 Views
