	good quiz but i think you shoudn't have to be nearly so specific with the answers. for instance, clearly there's a bunch of Baptist groups on here so you don't want to accept just "Baptist" for all of them. but you could for example accept "Southern Baptist" for the SBC. i also think you should accept "Assembly of God" as well as just "Lutheran" since there's only one Lutheran denomination on here.

	Thanks for the comment. I've made two of the changes you suggested, but there are two Lutheran denominations, so that will have to remain as is.

	Still, I don't think the answers should have to be that exact. "Latter-day saints," for example, should work, as should "Lutheran Missouri synod."

	You're too strict on the answers!I put in Evangelical Lutheran Church and it wasn't accepted. People shouldn't have to put in "Evangelical Lutheran Church of America." We live in America, I know that already.

	You need to fix the apostrophe in "Jehovah's Witnesses." It's currently one of those evil "Smart Quotes" that only shows up if you're C&Ping.

	Thanks, theologystudent.

	Thanks, folio 1701 and Esme - I've added your suggestions.

	Quiz should be entitled "Christian denominations". Otherwise Jews, etc could be listed.

	theologystudent:	Apr 10th, 2010 at 19:39 GMT	1 point
	Hamburger, I used that title only to avoid controversy over Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons. I'll rename it "largest churches" just to make clear that it's Christian denominations.

	chriskotx:	Aug 28th, 2010 at 05:16 GMT	1 point
	I'm surprised that Disciples of Christ isnt on the list.

	churchgeek:	Jan 18th, 2012 at 22:47 GMT	1 point
	I also tried "Lutheran Missouri Synod" and when nothing came up, just figured they weren't as large as I'd thought!
