Lesser Known Religions 01

This KS3 RE quiz takes a look at lesser known religions. In a world of over 7.6 billion people - that is, 7,600,000,000 individuals - it is hardly surprising that there are a great number of religious systems of belief.

The religions with the greatest number of adherents are Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Sikhism and traditional Chinese religions. A sizeable number of people in the world are atheists, or followers of no religion, too. There are also many religions to which we have not devoted an entire quiz, so this is a chance to learn a little about some of those religions which are less commonly known, at least in the UK. This quiz will test your knowledge on Jainism, Rastafarianism, paganism (also known as neo-paganism), as well as some less-familiar off-shoots of the main Christian traditions.
