This is were you practice creative writing skills.

You simple say, "I did very well, I am quite proud of myself I only got 15 wrong. "

Then you take a bow and leave it at that

Only that there are at least a few people out there who have a good grasp on the basics of the world's most popular religions that are at the center of much, if not nearly all of the world's major conflicts for the last 1,000 years or so. :-)

I got 14 correct. My wife always says I know more useless information that anyone she ever met. What she really means by that is I know a lot of things that don't make me any money. LOL

15. Which one of these preachers participated in the period of religious activity known as the First Great Awakening?
Same here. 14 out of 15 and failed on Great Awakening. I am Roman Catholic.

If you really believe that religion, and not the underlying socio-economic factor such as access to land or resources, were at the center of nearly all major world conflicts than I feel really sorry for your history professor.

Also, wanted to point out that the most murderous regimes in history of mankind, namely Nazism and Communism were built on atheism and absolute rejection of religion.

Just a little side note.

It seems that the major flaw in the quiz is putting in the 'Great Awakening' which seems to be of relatively piffling importance in the religious scheme of things. They should replace that snippit of theist trivia with something of global religious significance, like

What was the biggest single body - blow to religion?
(1) 9/11
(2) The Tsunami
(3) The pedophilia scandals
