About This Quiz

Religion either polarizes people or brings them together. People tend to see religion as a way to come together in community or view it as an excuse for people to judge others. Religion dominates political debates, as the moral foundation offered to argue for legislation, at the same time that freedom of and from religion is viewed as crucial to democracy. Although this aspect of identity and perspective holds such a central place in cultural life, many believe it’s foolish to bring up religion at the dinner table. Harsh words fly; tensions rise; the food gets cold. 

But most people know that there are many different ways of being religious. A person may have been raised in a Christian home, identify vaguely with being Christian, yet not have set foot in a church for 20 years. Or, someone may reject all formal religions, yet spend hours each week in ecstatic meditation, aware of an all-encompassing presence. According to the Pew survey of the American religious landscape, 70.6% of Americans identify as Christian, 5.9% follow a religion other than Christianity, 22.8% claim no religious affiliation, and .6% say they don’t know.
