Interesting how people scored. Those Jews and Atheists sure know their religions!
It helped that I was in ministry for so long and taught courses on World Religions.

Hemant posted an article on this a few days ago, and I took the test then. 100%! Not very difficult, only one question about Buddhism took me a moment to think about. I assume you also got 100%?
Did pretty well, and also paused a few times to think … which, as we know, is the whole point, right?
