Fuck..... that reminds me. The woman who interviewed me for the British Crime Survey asked my religion. I laughed and said Pastafarian. She said she'd heard it a couple of times before but didn't know what it was, so I told her all about the Kansas School Board letter and ID in science lessons, etc. :biggrin:

Our Toastmaster's meeting topic today was Religious Tolerance. As the assigned Thoughtmaster today (you take a minute to express a thought on the subject) I suggested that the more educated we are about all kinds of religions, the more tolerant we might be. So I copied the test and answers as I went along when I took it yesterday and brought it to the meeting for everyone to take today.

The Christian members of our group weren't too happy about being the lower scorers, not to mention the Pew Research results I revealed after. :hehe:

You will have to either write it down on paper or notepad. Just go through writing each answer down and then on the last question they will provide the answers.

Ah, effort! I'll leave the tab open and do it tomorrow. It's well past midnight and I need to be up for my VHDL lecture tomorrow :(
