I find the inclusion of religion inappropriate. Also, the description is incredibly unclear.

My long way about it. I struggle with procs.

You don't actually need "return", not that it hurts to have it in there. Ruby automatically returns the last line of code.

Should not array be in () in the first line (Ruby version)? Also not understanding what testing for nil has to do with it. This is simply counting the occurrances of the word "true". Nil would not enter into the equation.
