It really was a simple quiz. This not so ignorant Christian got 15 without guessing. I'm not sure what it proves, really.
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

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.
Same here. 14 out of 15 and failed on Great Awakening. I am Roman Catholic.
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
