6 out of 12 – shocked that a whopping 70% identify as Christian!
I’m not surprised, but what percentage actually behave like Christians might be a much lower figure!
Haha yes, that’s a good point!
So it is everywhere the actual percent that live the ethos of Christianity are always fewer.
6/12 You achieved an average score. Well done. Interesting comments on 70% of Americans being Christians. ?

Got one wrong, although we could argue the last one. It is a legend that slavery was the primary issue of the civil war, It was more about economic freedom than slavery.
This is not a point of argument. The Civil War was strictly only fought over the issue of slavery; and absolutely nothing else. Leaders of the Southern States wanted to continue their inhumane slavery and they refused to follow the nation’s law in abolishing slavery. This resulted in war! Do read all about it in the history books.
Very interesting quiz. I got just one wrong: the most-watched sport 🙂 Looking forward to more of this series.
Thanks for your comment. You achieved an excellent score on this US studies. Well done ?
