31/32 right... I got the question relating to whether or not a class comparing religions is okay in the US. I'm not american and this is a knowledge test...
I love the way they label a test of 'knowledge of religion' tilted strongly in favour of a knowledge of the christian religion as being a test of whether one is smarter than an atheists.
Plus they didn't ask anyone to state their religious position...and there's a long list of people in the comments pointing out they are atheist.
The religious have a shock coming to them if they accept this as some sort of answer to the scientific studies.

Yes, it is skewed American as the text says:
Atheists and agnostics, Jews and Mormons are among the highest-scoring groups in a 32-question survey of religious knowledge by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. On average, Americans got 16 of the 32 questions correct. Atheists and agnostics got an average of 20.9 correct answers. Jews (20.5) and Mormons (20.3). Protestants got 16 correct answers on average, while Catholics got 14.7 questions right.
The highest scoring group would be American Atheists with 20.9, hence the title.

Full house.
I note that one of the questions was incorrect. An agnostic isn't somebody who is unsure whether god exists, but somebody who thinks that knowledge of god is not possible.
Ho-hum.
