How Much Do You Really Know About Religion?

Posted by | October 11, 2010 15:29 | Filed under: Top Stories


A recent Pew survey showed how little Americans know about religion, even their own faiths. Nicholas Kristof has a fascinating quiz on the topic, and the answers are surprising.

To summarize:

  • The Old Testament says a woman who is not a virgin on her wedding night should be stoned to death.
  • Islam teaches that Jesus is a prophet to be revered.
  • The Old and New Testaments and the Quran are all sympathetic to slavery.
  • Jesus never expresses a view on homosexuality.
  • “Repel the evil deed with one which is better,” is in the Quran. In other words, respond to evil with kindness.
  • Muhammad had at least one Jewish wife.
  • St. Paul is quoted as saying women should stay silent during services.
