I'm curious how knowledgeable people on this site are about religion. I read an article a while back how atheist were in the 90 or 95 percentile in knowledge about religion. I took the test and came up in that range as well. I'm sure this question has probably already been asked, but I couldn't find it. Sorry about the repeat if that is true.
Enought to know that the History behind religion is what makes it Religion and not History.
Fairly good. If you mean just Christianity I would probably Ace it.
Some exposure to other religions as well but there are thousands so....
I'm probably somewhere in that range. I can usually hold my own in religious debates against both christians and muslims. The ones I have an issue with are the ones that try to make science a religion by saying something that sounds scientific and saying that energy is God.
I was once in a religion. I know enough to not follow it ever again.
Extrememely patchy I remember my older brother saying to me once you shouldnt dismiss anything without reading it - I tried but so many begats it got on my nerves plus no real structure to it .Having D.I.D I need a lot of structure and thing s following through rather than just fading out.
I know a lot because of all the reading I do, and my curiosity. Most religious people I meet know little even about their own religions.
A few months ago a Thai girl whose home hosted a Catholic church invited me to their services, and when I questioned her about her religion she knew next to nothing..hadn't even heard of the Pope or the Pope's official stance on the LGBTQ community. I became so frustrated, I gave up even trying to talk to her, but when she kept inviting me, I just cut to the chase and said, "No."
The fact that the Bible was published until the invention on the Printing Press which started the Protestant Revolution. Its unbelievable what will happen once you can read and have all the facts in front of your face. 5000 known mistakes listed in the Bible and more discovered every day.
Just as I am an ex gambler. I can still tell you how much you would get back off a £1 yankee (That`s 4 races, 6 doubles, 4 trebles and a 1x4 horse accumulator). I can also tell you when easter is. ie The 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the vernal equinox. Not if the full moon is on a Sunday then its the next Sunday and it is an " ecumenial " full moon not a real one because when they calculated this they were not much cop at astronomy.
