Are You Smarter Than An Atheist?

Are you smarter than an atheist? I am; at least according to a quiz put out by the Pew Forum on Religious and Public Life.

The quiz I took only had 15 questions, so I feel gypped. According to a summary of the quiz, the quiz had 32 questions. American Atheists got an average of 20.9 questions right. American Jews got 20.5, American Mormons 20.3, American Protestants 17.6, and American Catholics 16.0 (according to the figure—the text says 16.0 for American Protestants and 14.7 for American Catholics).

I was actually looking forward to the 32 questions, though I have no doubt in my mind that I still would have achieved 100% on them. But that is nothing special since this is the field of study I excel in. I am an apologist, defending the Christian faith, so I ought to known my own field.
