bush_cheney2004 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 With over 41 million blacks in America who are for the most part poorly educated and overwhelmingly Christian a study like this could be easily skewed by just over sampling this demographic . For the most part? Except for the President of the United States? LOL! Quote Economics trumps Virtue.
Dog Posted October 2, 2010 Report Posted October 2, 2010 Only 1 in 39 blacks have a post secondary education . Considering Obama has only attended church 4 times in the last 3 years and who his previous minister was i doubt he would score well on this survey either . Quote

This is your uneducated opinion.....and patently false. Moreover, the same gross generalization could be made for the most educated demographic in America....Asians. Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

I don't have much respect in general for american educational system but any Graduate of Harvard is beyond question, this one of top schools on the planet...getting into any law school in Canada requires a keen mind and minimum 3.6 GPA but in reality a 3.8 and Harvard will be even more competitive...Obama as a Law graduate of Harvard is one very, very smart dude...

Canada does not have a single university in the QS Top 10 Survey, with McGill barely making the top 20. So should I not be impressed with Canada's "education system"?

Shakeyhands Posted October 3, 2010 Report Posted October 3, 2010 and I am a confirmed atheist.... You answered 14 out of 15 questions correctly for a score of 93% and oddly enough, the one I got wrong was not the way I believe I answered.... http://features.pewforum.org/quiz/us-religious-knowledge/index.php Quote "They muddy the water, to make it seem deep." - Friedrich Nietzsche

Oleg Bach Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 Most people do not do their research - regarding religion..nor do they do their research regardging secularism - and neither one gives much thought to one or the other . Most secularists don't understand why THAT system was put into place - they don't understand secualrism the same way that Christians and Jews and Islamic don't really understand their instituted beliefs!

Most secularists don't understand why THAT system was put into place - they don't understand secualrism the same way that Christians and Jews and Islamic don't really understand their instituted beliefs! Secularism is not a religion. It's a way that all religions can co-exist, where the government and the judiciary remain blind to one's faith. It was invented, in particular by Locke, as a way to create a just society where the relationship between a man and his god are private matters. Quote
bloodyminded Posted October 4, 2010 Report Posted October 4, 2010 87%.... Protestantism Rules!!! A lot of us seem to have gotten the same score. I wonder if we got the same answers wrong? Quote As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand. --Josh Billings
wyly Posted October 5, 2010 Report Posted October 5, 2010 A lot of us seem to have gotten the same score. I wonder if we got the same answers wrong? there weren't a hundred questions so it's rounded up which would account for some us getting the same score...as well it's slanted toward american interests so that may account for similar errors...

Guest TrueMetis Posted October 5, 2010 Report Posted October 5, 2010 all atheists at one time had a horse in the race, I was brought up in christian doctrine... Not true I didn't, I didn't even know that people took gods seriously until I was 8. I figured they were like Santa. I was right. Quote
wyly Posted October 6, 2010 Report Posted October 6, 2010 Not true I didn't, I didn't even know that people took gods seriously until I was 8. I figured they were like Santa. I was right. but your parents or their parent would have, so at one point someone sat down and had a good rational think about and decided gods, santa and tooth fairy, was all BS...you should thank them...

Jack Weber Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 A lot of us seem to have gotten the same score. I wonder if we got the same answers wrong? Frankly,this is a fairly easy test...I tyhink the two I got wrong had to do with how religion relates to the US Constitution and if it was legal for a teacher to talk about the Ten Commandments and pray in class... That part of it was the least interesting to me,as it has nothing to do with The Bible but more to do with American seperation of church and state stuff....

Bonam Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 13/15 for me. Didn't know the one about the First Great Awakening (never heard of any of the 3 guys in the answers) or the one about which biblical figure is most associated with remaining obedient to God. [ Quote
