	The fact that Judaism is higher guessed than Christianity made me smile.

	Anyone else try satanism for the pentagram? lol

	Not sure how the Chinese double-happiness symbol (usually seen during New Year or for weddings) is a symbol for Confucianism, but then I guess Confucianism has never been big on iconography. (One might also say it has never been big on being a religion.)

	did you know, the actual symbol for jainism is the swastika? i guess it shouldnt really be on the same quiz as the star of david though...

	i always thought jainism was a swastika

	KidMuscle, Catholicism is a PART of Christianity. It's not the main religion by itself.

	No love for Scientology in this quiz? Xenu will be extremely disappointed.

	It's so easy to type the symbol for Scientology, too: Just press Shift-4. $$$$$$$$$$

	That symbol/character has almost nothing to do with Confucianism And what is all the fuss about swastika on a religion quiz, other than the fact that it is used by a number of Eastern religions?

	RE percentage correct: What rock are those people living under that don't recognize the "Big Three" symbols?

	I respectfully request the addition of the flying spaghetti monster.

	The character 囍 means 'double happiness', and is only hung up as wedding or Chinese New Year decorations. I'm half-Chinese, and I could write a 10,000-word essay on the teachings of Confucius, but in my entire life of living with my Chinese side of the family, I have never heard/seen the character 囍 used to represent it. Remove it.

	If you want to replace it, I think it's best that you replace it with the first symbol shown on your source (http://www.religioustolerance.org/confuciu1.htm). It means 'water' (水) and I think it's the most commonly used one should a symbol be applied to this particular belief. This Chinese character represents the 'source of life' in Confucian philosophy. It doesn't mean a symbol is used commonly at all, though.

	They maybe shouldn't be in alphabetical order?

	@Sasquatch: I too tried Satanism at first before typing in Wicca.

	icing:	Apr 3rd, 2010 at 02:09 GMT	13 points
	Paganism might also be accepted for Wicca. And I think I've just realized that I've had the symbols for Hinduism and Buddhism back-asswords for years :(

	in order? no thanks.

	this quiz accepts Jewish for Judaism but not Christian for Christianity. that might be why Judaism is higher guessed

	Havok3595:	Apr 3rd, 2010 at 03:44 GMT	1 point
	It accepts witchcraft for Wicca, but then again, part of the beauty of the whole thing is that everyone has their own way of going about it. Yay disorganized religion! I do agree that paganism might be a good alternate.

	It should be noted that the Nazi Swastika is rotated 45 degrees from the position of the Jain Swastika, and have very different meanings. The focus of Jainism is on nonviolence.

	Jack34789:	Apr 3rd, 2010 at 06:13 GMT	11 points
	Why does the symbol for Jainism look just like the old symbol for the old TV station The N

	beatrixkiddo:	Apr 3rd, 2010 at 06:58 GMT	5 points
	wouldn't have thought sikhism would be as poorly scored as it is. it's one of the 6 major religions of the world.

	RachelS:	Apr 3rd, 2010 at 07:01 GMT	1 point
	i think its surprising that in the western world that most sporcle users come from -- knowing english -- not everyone would get christianity right. i wonder if that's spelling related.

	Shinyhubcaps:	Apr 3rd, 2010 at 07:08 GMT	7 points
	I must have typed too quickly, but could "Shintoism" work for "Shinto"?

	bsd987:	Apr 3rd, 2010 at 07:28 GMT	3 points
	Zarathustrism should be accepted for Zoroastrianism.

	juusosieni:	Apr 3rd, 2010 at 08:30 GMT	5 points
	Confucianism confused me..

	Chris156:	Apr 3rd, 2010 at 09:03 GMT	7 points
	I didn't know Confucianism was a religion, I thought Confucius was just a philosopher? (Also, can't believe I missed out on Hinduism because I didn't type "ism"...aargh!)

	It would be extra super great if the answers to this quiz were the same list on the other world religions quiz (http://www.sporcle.com/games/popularreligions.php). Even a subset would be delightful.

	rosebud:	Apr 3rd, 2010 at 15:35 GMT	10 points
	why accept Jewish for Judaism and not accept Christian for Christianity...at least be consistent
