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.

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.

"The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God, Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people don't like that statement but few can argue with it."

By the by, I took the longer version of this test with 32 questions and got 30/32.
I can live with doubt, and uncertainty, and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong.

It doesn’t frighten me. - Richard Feynman

Also,

@ mai.
In the best laid plans of history lie the ruins of the past
And a chronicle of suffering shows the mythic pall they cast
To believe is true religion, but to see is truth at last
Oh no, too late to hold a trial, time doesn't wait for the watchmaker's dial

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.
