Back woods heathen Atheist got 100%, but I will confess to a WAG on the Joseph Smith questions, but have since Googled him, well I ain't from Utah, so guess that's why the name didn't ring a bell.

But beyond that, I guess Atheists and Agnostics often score better, because we participate in the real world and pay attention to what is going on, vs. hiding from reality while waiting for the second coming or rapture or what ever it is believers think is going to happen.

That's the only one I wasn't absolutely sure on, and I didn't have a clue on it.

I got 12 out of 15.

So the bread and wine actually become the body and blood of Jesus Christ? How does that work?

And I guess Billy Graham on the last one and got it wrong.

And on #14 I mixed up my Hinduism and my Buddhism. Stupid.

Not really...I forgot that Buddhism actually originated in India......

You ain't from Utah? And you obviously think that only people who are would know the answer to that question. FYI, more than half of the 14 millions Mormons today live outside of the United States and Canada. As a matter of fact, almost half of the population of Tonga and nearly one-third of the population of Samoa is. There are members of the Church today in roughly 180 different nations. Not being from Utah is a pretty name excuse for not knowing the founder of a Church that is growing at a rate of about 900 convert baptisms a day and whose membership is about two-thirds first-generation converts.

And what about the Mormons? We scored just .6% lower than you atheists and agnostics. I guess that's because we also stress higher education and gaining all of the knowledge we can, both religious and secular.

Why would you do that? Whenever they come to my door I just tell them that I don't believe and that they are wasting their time. If it is a hot day I offer them some water. Being polite and kind lets everyone feel good about the encounter.
