A recent survey showed that atheists and agnostics are better informed about religion than religious people. (don't read the article if you're gonna take the quiz, it gives away some of the answers)

I am willing to bet that Discordians can beat atheists.  :p



Here's another version of the quiz:

My score: 12/15 correct, scoring better than 87% of the population. 8)

I took it a couple of weeks ago and your assessment is correct. I got a perfect score.

Also, I found the percentage results and demographics per question to be disheartening, especially where people were incapable of correctly answering questions about their own religious denomination.

I think I got the one of the constitutional questions wrong which, incidentally, is entirely unfair.

14 out of 15.

9 out of 15. Not terrible, I guess. Especially as 2 of the questions were US constitution specific. Kinda hoped for higher, but I'm pretty sure I got the main ones right, just didn't know who one or two of the names mentioned were.

Heh, I imagine atheists and agnostics score better because of all that research they do to pwn religious-types on internet message boards.  Meanwhile, the religious people rely upon their, um, faith, in their own knowledge. 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

Well, that or soul searching. Or general interest in different religions.

I can never remember the Old Testament, so I missed the "who loved God even though God let Satan fuck with him" question.

Sorry, I figured the e-prime was understood.  "Some" atheists and agnostics probably score very well for the reason I outlined.
