Traditions & Texts
Ten questions on the world\'s principal traditions, described from the outside and without argument.
About this topic
This quiz treats religion as cultural knowledge: which text belongs to which tradition, what the major festivals mark, where the significant sites are, and who the founding figures were. It covers Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism and Sikhism, which between them account for the large majority of believers worldwide. Nothing here takes a position on the truth of any claim, and contested points of doctrine are left alone rather than adjudicated. The explanations stay descriptive throughout.
