I'm an agnostic/atheist, and I got 15/15 on the quiz.  I did guess on the last question but I got it right.

You are agnostic/atheist? You got 100% on the quiz but are simultaneously unsure of the existence of God while disbelieving God's existence?
Someone get Hoss a pacifier.

Atheists don't so much actively disbelieve as not believe in the absence of evidence to support the "theory" (I use the term very loosely) of religion.

I only got 9 of 10 right because I wrongly thought that only 40ish percent of Indonesians were Muslim.

I got 9 of 10 right also, but only because I forgot that the Jewish Sabbath started on Friday, and not Saturday.

And Gweed, the quiz doesn't ask you if you are faith-based, it asks what you know of it.  Wow.

I did the same thing on that.  I missed the indonesia one because for some reason I read it as India. Stoopid ADD

10 out of 10. And I could answer all the other questions in the article too. 

And this is from a gay, agnostic, liberal, recovering southern baptist.

That he's not judgmental?

If so, he's the only one on this forum.

Gay and agnostic are neither a "+" nor "-"
Liberal is definitely a "-" (in my book)
That leaves Recovering Southern Baptist as a definite "+".

Theism/atheism is about belief.  Gnosticism/agnosticism is about knowledge.  I don't believe in a god, but I know it's impossible to know whether there is a god or not, so I'm an agnostic atheist.
