I flubbed the acts versus faith thing and a question on pre-President Santorum consitutional law. Didn't seem like an especially hard quizz.

I got 28, admittedly 2 were only because I guessed correctly. I wasn't raised in a religious household and I have not studied any religion seriously. I get that you pick stuff up through news, books and popular culture ("There's nothing an agnostic can't do if he really doesn't know whether he believes in anything or not") but I'm not convinced I am really supposed to get a majority correct simply by being "literate."
