Got 12 out of 15.

Got the "Which religious tradition is most closely associated with Kabbalah?", "On which day of the week does the Jewish Sabbath begin?" and the "Which of these religious groups traditionally teaches that salvation comes through faith alone?" questions wrong.

11/15. I got the following ones wrong: "Which of the following is NOT one of the Ten Commandments:" "Which Bible figure is most closely associated with willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to God?" "Which of the following best describes Catholic teaching about the bread and wine used for Communion? The bread and wine …" "Which religious tradition is most closely associated with Kabbalah?"

Got 15 out of 15, though I admit to guessing on the question about the four truths of Buddhism and where Jesus spent most of his childhood, though both were educated guesses I suppose.

Same score, same first two wrong questions, I got your third wrong correctly but did not know "Which Bible figure is most closely associated with willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to God?"

Same result except I didn't accidentally trip up up, I just didn't know at all and guessed

My headcanon is Friday = Islam, Saturday = Judaism, Sunday = Christianity. I guess that's not completely accurate.

The question about the Jewish Sabbath is arguably a bit of a trick question that I thought about a bit but I did know that it's recognized as a sunset to sunset thing.

14/15, also missed the Buddhism question like others on here (I was torn but went with the immortal soul over suffering).
