Are you smarter than an Atheist?

[Evointrinsic]

This is an interesting quiz I found through a topic made on another forum. The title of it is a bit provocative, but never mind that! I took the quiz myself which is a simple 32 question quiz about religions and non-religions posted originally on the Christian Science Monitor (although through another source before that).

Atheists and agnostics, Jews and Mormons are among the highest-scoring groups in a 32-question survey of religious knowledge by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. On average, Americans got 16 of the 32 questions correct. Atheists and agnostics got an average of 20.9 correct answers. Jews (20.5) and Mormons (20.3). Protestants got 16 correct answers on average, while Catholics got 14.7 questions right.

How will you do on the quiz?

I got 30 out of 32. How did you score?

- You say I make a new religion???
You think I'm a fool??
You think I'm a child??
- Well, If anyone wants to make a new religion, then does he should claim that be a new thing and not exists in the older religions??

- Do you know why a few Muslims converted to Christianity?
Because they don't know all things about Islam!
For example I'd been believe that somethings in Christianity is better than the same things in Islam!
But when I read some of the Ahadith, then understood that the same things exist in the same doctrine of Islam! But many Muslims themselve don't do them!!
So the behaviours of any religions AREN'T the same commands of that religion.

And do you know why Muslims decided to become atheists?? Because they DID know about things in Islam!

Never.
A Moslim never converts to atheist.
Nor any wise man.

That is not true at all. We have on this forum here an ex-Muslim. I know a few other ones too, and they are very wise..

Of course, they keep it quiet, which is also wise considering the penalty that some Muslims will inflict on 'ex-Muslims.'

31/32.... I got question 24 wrong. The one about whether it is OK for a teacher in the US to quote from the Bible as literature.

Where your reason is really!!
you atheists are smarter than the Theists??
The Prophets and Imams(a.s) never did deny The Existence of God!
But you atheists do deny??
you aren't more powerful than Prophet Moses(a.s) whom splited the red sea!
Nor than Prophet Jesus(a.s) whom gave life to the dead!
Nor Prophet Solomon(a.s) whom everythings on the world were under command him: People, Jinns, Animals, Birds, Satans, and...
I don't know where has gone your reason..

* The Prophets and Imams (AlayhemosSalaam) were more powerful than you atheists for deny The Existence of God.

So I suppose by your reaction, you got close to ZERO of the questions right?

I think he wants to spread division by supporting the Atheist prejudice that Theists are retarded.

There would be another possibility but I won't spell it out. Wouldn't be civil.

I would say that there are probably atheists that are more sage/scholarly/wise than many of them.. and then there are some of them that are wiser than most atheists.

On the other hand, anytime someone claims to be a prophet, I usually think that either they are insane, or they are not interested in being a prophet so much as interested in being a profit.

Talk about a lack of enlightenment....
