	Can I suggest that the order is randomized (unless it is and I just got REALLY lucky) or else the aztec/inca/maya are seperated.

	many people often use 'mayan' instead of 'maya', so may i suggest accepting that answer as well?

	Christianity doesn't consider itself polytheistic, though the Trinity might be a point of contention. And isn't it interesting how other cultures' pantheons are "mythology," but never one's own?

	Fantastic quiz - great idea!

	I like how only the "dead" religions are called "mythologies."

	@ShepherdBook: I like how you assume they're all dead. ;)

	yeah I'm pretty sure Hinduism and Taoism are still around

	"Mesoamerican" should work for "Aztec" as well. Good idea for a quiz. I'm a little bit surprised at how low the percentage guessed correctly is for Ashanti, I don't know, maybe it was just my rambling grandmother's fault.

	It's amazing where knowledge comes from. half of these I knew from final fantasy and others I knew from the poems I have to study for my GCSEs

	symphonyofsounds is correct. Mayan is a commonly used term for that culture.

	Hinduism doesn't consider itself polytheistic. The many "gods" are considered multiple incarnations of Brahman (the universal spirit), in the same way the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are multiple incarnations of God in Christianity.

	It is more pantheistic with polytheistic elements. Meaning that it believes all Truth is God and vice versa. The "polytheistic elements" is essentially because Brahman is worshipped in the form of multiple deities, and which ones depends on what the Hindu feels is/are the most appropriate god(s).

	yoruba? slightly obscure.

	What about Japanese Shinto? I thought it would be somewhere on there

	I am a Hindu, and Hinduism is not polytheistic. If the title of the quiz was changed, there would be no problems. Also, Ganesha is not a "main" god -- it should say Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva.

	@beforever: Well, Quetzalcoatl was worshiped by the Maya and other Mesoamerican cultures, but Tlaloc and Huitzilopochtli are definitely Aztec. Although I guess only nerds like me know that so you're right ;-)

	Daoism is pantheistic, not polytheistic. There's a HUGE difference.

	ffi:	Feb 22nd, 2010 at 21:57 GMT		3 points
	@PoemOf4Letters: I understand that there is a difference between pantheism, the idea that God and Nature are one and the same, and polytheism, the worship of many deities. My understanding is that Daoism is both pantheistic and polytheistic, as it does recognize multiple deities (Jade Emperor, Three Pure Ones, Laozu, etc.). @dominiquef: Thanks for pointing that out; I hadn't been aware. I suppose a more accurate name for the quiz would be "Religions by Deity," but that would've prompted questions about why Allah or Yahweh was absent. As for Ganesha, you're absolutely right. I was searching for Brahma, but it just wasn't coming to me. Anyway, there's nothing I can do now that it's been published.

	@ffi: You may be able to say "religions with multiple deities." Though it's a longer title, it is accurate. Thanks for acknowedging that. It's fine -- Ganesha is a god, just not one of the top three. He is a son of Shiva.
