	It should be Jehovah's Witness not Jehova's.

	amidabutsu:	Dec 5th, 2009 at 19:55 GMT	3 points
	oops. thanks for pointing it out. should be fixed now.

	irishpowerhouse1:	Dec 6th, 2009 at 00:10 GMT	6 points
	mormon OR church of latter day saints should be acceptable for church of jesus christ of latter day saints

	amidabutsu:	Dec 6th, 2009 at 04:50 GMT	5 points
	made the change. should be good now.

	Annie:	Dec 6th, 2009 at 23:36 GMT	5 points
	Can you include stats for people who are agnostic or atheists?

	Annie:	Dec 6th, 2009 at 23:38 GMT	1 point
	You've accepted "Mormons" but not "Mormon." I think you should also accept the singular answer to be consistent with the tenses of your other answers.

	amidabutsu:	Dec 7th, 2009 at 03:50 GMT	6 points
	made a couple of changes. Mormon is now accepted. And I have added the number of people who declared no religion. @Annie: I used the table from Statistics Canada and wrote the name of the religion and/or church exactly as they had it. Not to say that they can't be wrong, but I just assumed that it would be the correct way to identify said churches or religions. Will see if I can add more acceptable answers though.

	I understand that you're working from the source, but atheists definitely do not believe they belong to the "religion" of atheism. I wouldn't call it a religion, so that was a little misleading.

	irishpowerhouse1:	Dec 7th, 2009 at 18:09 GMT	0 points
	thanks your the best

	amidabutsu:	Dec 7th, 2009 at 23:21 GMT	7 points
	i've modified the game again a little, so that the answer "no religion/agnostic/atheist" appears as a bonus. it's still there, but does not completely count as a religion. i feel it's a good compromise.

	Mutford:	Dec 10th, 2009 at 07:31 GMT	1 point
	I'd lighten up the accepted answers a little. "Pentecostal" for instance should suffice for "Pentecostal Church".

	amidabutsu:	Dec 12th, 2009 at 15:24 GMT	1 point
	i thought it was. i went back to check and i had spelt it "pentacostal", that's why it was not working. should be working now!

	kagomeshuko:	Jan 7th, 2010 at 05:25 GMT	1 point
	Harder than I thought. @amidabutsu I do that all the time with Pentecostal and I have to go back and change it!

	tbwilson:	Jan 7th, 2010 at 18:31 GMT	5 points
	You might consider adding more choices for aboriginal spirituality... I tried everything from "First Nations" to "Native American" to "American Indian" to "Cree" without any results. Also, I tried "Seventh Day Adventist" and didn't get Adventist, either.

	MusicGeak:	Jan 8th, 2010 at 01:45 GMT	-1 points
	You should accept LDS for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, as that is the proper term.

	abanazerb:	Jan 9th, 2010 at 14:25 GMT	4 points
	Thanks again Sporcle for extending my education... hadn't heard of the United Church of Canada and now I know all about it!

	billytorbay:	Jan 11th, 2010 at 01:20 GMT	2 points
	I'm surprised Methodists were even on the list; I thought they joined the United Church along with Moravians (and maybe one or two more). Also surprised there aren't 20,000 scientologists. But grateful.

	Esme:	Jan 13th, 2010 at 05:59 GMT	1 point
	"Seventh-Day Adventist" or even "SDA" should work for Adventist. Also, this is somewhat obscure but important: Since 2005, the official, legal name of Jehovah's Witnesses in Canada is the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Canada. Jehovah's Witnesses should remain the displayed answer, but I would also accept "Watch Tower" and "Watchtower."

	abanazerb:	Jan 16th, 2010 at 10:12 GMT	2 points
	Shouldn't at least one of "Episcopalian", "Episcopal", "Church of England" or "C of E" be acceptable for "Anglican? Just checking!

	hiho:	Jan 28th, 2010 at 20:53 GMT	0 points
	you made me have to spell prebysterian... But this is a good quiz so I won't complain EXCEPT could you accept athiest as well as agnostic, it would be easier. But this is a divine quiz, thanks for putting it up!

	Hermes76:	Feb 2nd, 2010 at 03:18 GMT	1 point
	Great game, surprised you don't have, open and closed Bretheren, Born again churches (Called Money churches here in New Zealand), Elims, Christadelphian, the Spiritualist church, Shintoism, Jedi and or a category for cults like Hermes far eastern shining and Scientology).

	amidabutsu:	Feb 14th, 2010 at 17:59 GMT	2 points
	thanks everyone for the comments. i've made some changes to reflect them.

	Tats:	Feb 25th, 2010 at 16:04 GMT	3 points
	popping by to commend the quizmaker for being so open to critique as well as for a very enjoyable quiz.

	amidabutsu:	Feb 27th, 2010 at 22:21 GMT	1 point
	well, thank you, that's very nice of you. i'm glad you liked the game :)

	moviegoer73:	Mar 16th, 2010 at 21:34 GMT	2 points
	Perhaps accept 7th Day Adventist for Adventist?

	Stran:	Mar 16th, 2010 at 23:21 GMT	3 points
	Strictly speaking it should be Roman Catholic, since the word catholic means universal and can cover other denominations - whereas the Roman branch has the Pope as its head.

	amidabutsu:	Mar 22nd, 2010 at 11:46 GMT	1 point
	the answers do make the difference between roman catholic and ukrainian catholic. thought i'd let you know :)

	Bulletchewer6:	Apr 4th, 2010 at 23:33 GMT	3 points
	Nice quiz. A little strange that there are Greek Orthodox and Ukrainian Orthodox but no Russian Orthodox- maybe Canada has more Ukrainians than Russians?

	dolby:	Apr 6th, 2010 at 11:34 GMT	0 points
	Sikhism is the religion while those who follow it are Sikhs, please make the necessary change

	donarvon:	Apr 9th, 2010 at 20:37 GMT	3 points
	@Bulletchewer6 - Weirdly, Ukrainians make up almost 4% of the Canadian population (Russians, less than 2%).

	Mutford:	Jul 18th, 2010 at 19:57 GMT	2 points
	I'm surprised Bahai wasn't covered by Statistics Canada. According to their website they have 30,000 followers in Canada. (http://www.ca.bahai.org/canada)

	Riko:	Sep 22nd, 2010 at 05:37 GMT	1 point
	I think the non-religious, et al. should be included in the quiz proper. While we do not consider ourselves a religion, we are an important demographic (not to mention the second largest belief-system demographic in Canada: just about as large as the next two combined).

	Riko:	Sep 22nd, 2010 at 05:44 GMT	2 points
	Also, can't you accept 'animist/animism', 'aboriginal', 'native american', 'indigenous' or 'inuit' for 'aboriginal spirituality'? Outside of Canada, the names 'First Nations' and 'Aboriginal' are not widely used.

	Jelle:	Oct 5th, 2010 at 01:06 GMT	2 points
	No scientology?

	Colmar:	Jun 19th, 2011 at 14:24 GMT	1 point
	Results are somewhat glitched. It says I didn't get Islam or Aboriginal and that I got Mennonite; none of which is true.

	AKAPseudonym:	Oct 1st, 2011 at 23:44 GMT	2 points
	I had no idea the Salvation Army was a church and not just a charitable organization

	Holadude19507:	Dec 23rd, 2011 at 02:38 GMT	2 points
	My answers are also glitched. I think it shows the same number of right answers, but some I got are shown as missed and vice-versa. Also, I can't believe more people got Sikhism than Hinduism and Islam! Not complaining, I'm Sikh!

	merxes:	Apr 28th, 2012 at 01:53 GMT	1 point
	@holadude19507 Get well soon
