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.

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.

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

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.
