2. Question 9 is a real hoot.
Which I got right (it's obvious), but I doubt any of the busheeple would believe it if they had read all 21 answers.

4. I got 17 of them right.
If I'd read two of the other three more closely, I guess I'd have gotten them right, too. I knew the stuff most people don't, apparently, know -- like that the Puritans wanted anything but to allow others to be free to practice their religions.

6. I got 19
I did not know that 14th Amendment thing, I'll have to read it again. And that Mormon and Catholic families are the ones who protested that prayer thing, that's a real hoot. They want separation of church and state when they think it disenfranchises THEM, but vote against the people who fight to keep that right in the first place. Bizarre.

14. 20...much credit to DU for refreshers here and there...
and also for some stuff i didn't know, such as the nature of the people who brought the Wisconsin case. Wish someone here had mentioned the nature of the people who brought the Texas case--i might have aced the quiz. :)

16. I got 19 correct
But I didn't have a chance to cram. I'm going to send this to some of my religious right acquaintances, but I've already heard their rationalizations to a few of the items.

20. 18
should have been better - I usually do well on multiple guess tests.

Not second-guessing myself (twice) would have got me to 20.

27. 17
I got the number of times Christianity etc is mentioned in the declaration of independence wrong, who said the US was "not founded on the christian religion in any sense," who said secular schools cannot be tolerated, and whether the constitution banned religious tests for higher office (I thought it hadn't been mentioned).
