There does seem to be a correlation with extensive knowledge of religion and the propensity to have little to do with it, i.e. the more you know, the less zealous you are.

I got 14 out of 15. This quiz did not seem difficult though. Not that much depth.

I was hoping it would have had some questions about minority religions instead of being so heavily weighted towards the Abrahamics with a couple of token Buddhist and Hindu questions.

And I can't believe how many Black Protestants got basic questions about Christianity wrong. (although I can't speak for the statistical depth of the survey).

It really was a simple quiz. This not so ignorant Christian got 15 without guessing. I'm not sure what it proves, really.

Got 13/15. Missed the Catholic bread and wine question and the last question regarding the Great Awakening.

It's strange that average scores with the general population for this quiz are sitting right around 6-8. I thought most of the questions were pretty basic.
