About This Quiz

It's so important to know where you stand in the house of the Lord. Lend your honest answers to this religion test so that we can analyze your level of Christian behavior.

Stop to think how just about every Christian worship center has certain types. Seasoned veterans tend to have special seating arrangements, special dibs on after-church lunches and special relationships with the priest or pastor. The vets get the big pieces of chicken, extra mac and cheese and extra slices of cake. Folks who've attended the same church for a long time but stay away from church politics probably don't attend as regularly. You tend to see all the loyal, semi-interested members only come out for the major church holidays — unless they are the type who live for gossip. Entire television shows have been based on church gossip, so it's definitely a thing. And if it's your thing, own it!

The eager types, on the other hand, attend church seeking more righteous intel. If you're one of these types, you can admit that asking someone for scriptural answers is so much easier and faster than looking up the answers on your own or remembering what someone told you the last seven times you asked the same question. The eager members may get mocked from time to time, but their question consistency has a way of spicing things up for all types of members.

Spice up your own church life and find out the kind of Christian you've managed to become!
