I only got the last one because I took a class on the History of Religion in America.  The name just sounded familiar.

Um, the last time I was in a church was for a friends wedding a few years ago. The time before that was for my own wedding  over  20 years ago.

I got 13/15.  Didn't know teachers were allowed to read from the Bible and didn't know Catholics taught that the bread and wine became the body and blood of Jesus.

I got 13 correct also.  I don't know how, I'm not particularly religious but I did learn a lot when I was younger.  It must have stuck in my brain somewhere.
