Even if they have to do it by baptising every graveyard in the UK? snoopcester Send a noteboard - 01/10/2010 02:47:40 PM
I think Mormon's are active over here, trying to convert people now but it is a very recent thing. For years my only knowledge about them was they were the baddies in a Sherlock Holmes story:P
I would doubt the average person outside of the US knows about them, perhaps beyond the name and a few funny "facts" at best.

Buddhists, by comparison, are world famous - I'd say it is reasonable to expect (or hope) most normal people have heard of the Dalai Lama, for example.

Yeah, the last one is hard. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 11:03:46 AM 881 Views
Hah! Athiests 1 Religion 0! snoopcester - 01/10/2010 11:14:36 AM 794 Views

I got it and I usually skipped the Great Awakening in my history classes Cannoli - 01/10/2010 11:32:47 AM 834 Views
I think in history classes outside the US the topic is omitted altogether. *NM* Legolas - 01/10/2010 11:36:41 AM 372 Views
I'm fairly sure it isn't seen as a must know in the British educational system *NM* snoopcester - 01/10/2010 11:42:07 AM 383 Views
Quite. And certainly not in New Zealand. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 11:55:27 AM 397 Views
I'm sure you're right, but it shouldn't be, because the formative influence was/is huge. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:15:09 PM 1040 Views
Well, in university level American history courses, I'm sure it's mentioned. Legolas - 01/10/2010 01:20:56 PM 951 Views
I think when a country becomes a world power you need to cover more of its past. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:00:54 PM 955 Views
Depends on how much that past mingles with yours. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:08:35 PM 991 Views
Seems more like it depends on how the present mingles. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:21:56 PM 904 Views
Well. Not so much. Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:28:55 PM 871 Views
I can see NZ taking that view, sure. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:11:21 PM 986 Views
But more important, I would stay, is understanding your own country snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:34:22 PM 1071 Views
That last certainly seems to be NZ's point of view. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:34:59 PM 435 Views
Either New Zealand is a head of the game snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:36:25 PM 810 Views
Always. Which country was it gave women the vote first? Hmmm? Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:38:39 PM 998 Views
Quit ruining my sneering at New Zealand *NM* snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:39:59 PM 383 Views
Yeah, I worry about Oceania. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:55:23 PM 904 Views
NZ and China have a good relationship. *NM* Rebekah - 01/10/2010 02:56:39 PM 377 Views
There's little cause for them to argue at present. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:15:18 PM 904 Views
Certainly. Joel - 01/10/2010 02:48:50 PM 876 Views
The last one is probably the most Americocentric. Joel - 01/10/2010 12:54:30 PM 1079 Views
Protestant Americocentric. Tom - 01/10/2010 01:19:20 PM 904 Views
True. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:32:58 PM 1128 Views
They're a bunch of fucking Calvinist heretics. Tom - 01/10/2010 09:33:56 PM 882 Views
Which, historically, have produced a LOT of revolutionaries. Joel - 01/10/2010 11:09:52 PM 1082 Views
I got the maximum too, but then I'd seen the Pew report on the whole thing. Legolas - 01/10/2010 11:12:24 AM 1192 Views
15/15: One for our side! Joel - 01/10/2010 01:05:11 PM 828 Views
I'd say it is the last 6 which are Americocentric snoopcester - 01/10/2010 01:17:44 PM 832 Views
Ya'll get your share of Mormons, I believe. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:37:40 PM 991 Views
I never even heard of mormons 'til I was 18-20. (beat.) - 01/10/2010 01:46:04 PM 945 Views
Yes, but you live at the North Pole. Joel - 01/10/2010 01:54:57 PM 979 Views
Even if they have to do it by baptising every graveyard in the UK? snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:47:40 PM 979 Views
Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:19:24 PM 883 Views
It is jsut a general rule not to do it to the dead snoopcester - 01/10/2010 03:24:51 PM 1001 Views
Right, you're supposed to be baptized FOR the dead. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:31:50 PM 953 Views
There were some questions which had nothing to do with America in the longer version of the survey. Legolas - 01/10/2010 01:23:54 PM 915 Views
So they blow everybodys curve, eh? Joel - 01/10/2010 01:52:33 PM 994 Views

Darn, beaten by a technicality! Macharius - 01/10/2010 02:10:42 PM 734 Views
Actually, a Christian education doesn't really give anyone an out on that one. Joel - 01/10/2010 03:36:13 PM 1053 Views
I think christianity used to as well? snoopcester - 01/10/2010 02:38:48 PM 863 Views
