Exploring Culture: Diffusion of Religion

Question 5 • PA-Geography A

Which of the following statements about the history of Judaism is false?

Answer
A
Judaism is considered an important religion today due to the large percentage of people on Earth who follow its beliefs.
B
The kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Babylonian Empire, and later by the Roman Empire.
C
Judaism spread throughout the eastern Mediterranean Basin.
D
Jews faced persecution throughout their history.

Explanation

A is false because Judaism is historically important for its influence on other religions and cultures, not because a large percentage of the world follows it. Jews make up a relatively small share of the world’s population. The other statements describe major aspects of Jewish history: conquest by the Babylonians and Romans, Jewish communities spreading around the eastern Mediterranean, and repeated persecution.
