Separation of Church and State

I scored in the 14-17 range, too. It would appear my Catholic School education has paid off.

I got 19. Having a degree in History helps

I managed to get a 16, but the quiz felt biased to me. I wonder if Godwin's Law applies.

14 - 17: Congratulations! Better informed than most Americans

Quite an accolade for a foreigner

Congratulations! You scored 21 correct out of 21!

Well goddam. I must be a patriot.

the quiz felt biased to me

It wasn't. Learn more.

I got an 18. Not bad for a Canadian.

I got a 17.  I got these wrong: 8, 10, 11 and 18.

LOL.  I'm sure you know everything about everything, right?  Maybe you just fit in the bias......

It was actually kind of fun. I don't remember which ones I got wrong, but some were questions about who brought the specific cases, which I didn't know. I learned something.

I got 16. Not bad for a limey.

Good article, I requested a copy of their publication.

To me that would be as impressive as scoring a "14 - 17: Congratulations! Better informed than most Americans." From the KKK.

some were questions about who brought the specific cases, which I didn't know

Yeah, some of them I basically guessed at and got right.  Just like any test, you get lucky sometimes.  It's an interesting test, none the less.

I'm proud to say, considering the context and condescending wording alonside te scoring table at the end, that I only scored 13-21.
But then, I see nothing wrong with Believers, working in and for a government based on free choice, invoking the aid of a deity in day-to-day dealings.
What's so wrong with asking Divine guidance for help in our affairs of state?

Some of you are so afaid of us becoming theocracy; that's crap and you know it.
This nation existed for 186 years before the church-state debate really got going in the early 1960s. In fact, we resisted putting a Catholic in the Oval Office, because Papal influence was so strongly feared, that we didn't get one until 1960. And we wouldn't have had that one if Joe Kennedy Sr. hadn't had a few strings to pull with his old Mafia cronies in Illinois. Somehow we managed for all those years, before we had a Supreme Court arrogant,and liberal, enough to legislate to us, and stayed a secularly-based government while still keeping God around at least peripherally.

You worry about nothing, people.....just like always.

You're so afraid that God might actually be a part of daily life. Why? Why do you fear religion? Because it holds us accountable for our deeds...our ideals. You should fear Him, then, if that's the case.

Interesting--so you are comparing knowledge of American history with knowledge of KKK history?

I don't fear religion. I'm not afraid of "God". I don't believe in your god, and your god doesn't hold me accountable for my deeds. I do not want any part of your god in my country, because its unconstitutional, and I have a right of freedom from religion. Period. No one is asking you to give up your religion. I therefore think it's outrageous that you think I should have to accept yours.

Thank you for taking the test, and for your interest in state/church separation.

Congratulations! You scored 18 correct out of 21!

18 - 21: Wow! First Amendment Scholar

wow, I suprised my burnt out old brain remembered so much.

I don't believe in your god, and your god doesn't hold me accountable for my deeds.

You can believe that statement if you wish, but you have no way of knowing how accountable you'll be held until it's too late for you to do anything about it (unless, like many non-believers you suddenly suffer an 11th hour and 59th minute conversion if given just a bit of forewarning as to what is to become of you).

but you have no way of knowing how accountable you'll be held until it's too late for you to do anything about it

Spoken like a god-fearin' believer. But, that's a statement that is meaningless to me, as I am not a believer. And, ya know what. I ain't worried. I am an ethical athiest. I believe in the here and now, and in doing right by the earth and fellow humans. If there is a god, which I do not believe, I'm sure she'd judge me by my deeds rather than whether I believed in her or not.

I scored 14, which I think is pretty good, especially considering I'm not even a high school upperclassman.
Oh yeah, anybody who says that test isn't biased has blinders on.

"0 - 5: Are you sure you are not a member of the Religious Right?"

Just my two cents

And, ya know what. I ain't worried. I am an ethical athiest. I believe in the here and now, and in doing right by the earth and fellow humans. If there is a god, which I do not believe, I'm sure she'd judge me by my deeds rather than whether I believed in her or not.

I've met flat earthers too. Fine, don't believe. What is, is, believe in it or not. "Eppur si muove."

Also, I disagree with a great deal of the modern interpretation of the Constitution.

I don't believe it was ever meant to be freedom from religion, which is the way it's being practiced, including many restrictions on practicing your beliefs in public.

It says freedom of religion. Not freedom from ever being exposed to religion when someone prays in public or wears a cross on their neck at work.

Furthermore, the interpretation is often inconsistent, allowing freedom of religion for various religious, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds (which is fine, if everyone gets it)as long as those backgrounds are not Christian.

{Shrug} Christianity is not considered to be politically correct.

This has nothing to do with Christianity.
