	Note: Listed are the religious affiliations of the presidents at the time of election. Several presidents changed religions during their lifetime.

	I guess Dutch Reformist really isn't quite right. This is a neat idea. Forcing people to go president by president would be extremely challenging, I think.

	Deism is not a denomination of Christianity. Jefferson (and other deists) rejected the divinity of Jesus, as well as organized religion in general.

	lol I typed Christian. Didn't realize it was so specific.

	I was hoping for a Wilt Chamberlain moment when I typed in Protestant.

	Although many people allege that Jefferson was a Deist, he never professed Deism as Benjamin Franklin did. It's not really clear what his religion was.

	SamS: Andrew Johnson most identified with the Baptists more than anyone else although he was not a member of the church

	Dutch Reformed and Presbyterian are the same thing. Also, I think "nondenominational" should be accepted for "unaffiliated." Generally, though, great quiz, very interesting.

	What sort of religion is "Liberal?"

	LTH:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 16:41 GMT		5 points
	Yeah, Liberal sounds like a bogus answer but I'm gonna stick with the source

	I was hoping "Christian" would get them all. Is that incorrect?

	Masternachos:	Nov 22nd, 2009 at 04:56 GMT		9 points
	Lincoln's religion wasn't just "Liberal," it was a Liberal Christianity, if that helps.

	furlsOFcurls:	Nov 22nd, 2009 at 21:57 GMT		12 points
	Atheist and Agnostic are not the same as your religion being undefined. Also "Church of Christ" for United Church of Christ and "Congregational" for Congregationalist should be accepted - theyre the right answers.

	sinen:	Nov 25th, 2009 at 03:37 GMT		9 points
	Church of Christ and United Church of Christ are actually very different denominations: one is rather fundie, one is quite liberal. Definitely not interchangeable.

	smarty:	Nov 25th, 2009 at 10:26 GMT		9 points
	wow, only one catholic president.

	For about the second time in 40 years, knowing that Richard Nixon was a Quaker proves useful. I didn't know Hoover was one too; I'd always heard that Nixon was the only one. I got stuck at 35, and was trying frantically to think of other denominations, but the ones I didn't get (Dutch Reformed, Disciples of Christ, a couple of others) were ones I was never gonna get anyway. Good quiz.

	miyomiyo:	Dec 4th, 2009 at 01:22 GMT		10 points
	Why wasn't "FILTHY MUSLIM TERRORIST!!" acceptable for Obama? Oh, and I'm gonna go ahead and say right now that I'm joking before I get flamed into oblivion.

	marpocky:	Dec 6th, 2009 at 01:36 GMT		4 points
	I know it's not entirely the same, but I would have loved to get credit for Dutch Reformed when I typed in just Reformed.

	confused:	Dec 8th, 2009 at 04:16 GMT		7 points
	@ smarty: Many people did not like the idea of electing a Catholic president, and his religion was a definite issue in JFK's campaign.

	Great quiz! But why aren't you accepting "UCC" for United Church of Christ? No one ever says the full thing. I didn't bother trying to write it out since I figured I must have been wrong. :/ Also, Lincoln is usually listed as unaffiliated because he never actually joined a church and had views too complex to group him one way or another. (The "Liberal Christian" moniker was given to him by biographers as an attempt to group him somehow.) If it were me, I'd accepted unaffiliated for him.

	"None" should work for "unaffiliated."

	TJL:	Mar 17th, 2010 at 05:12 GMT		3 points
	Definitely is the kind of quiz that needs to be answered in order. At this point, it's basically just guessing names of Christian denominations

	csl:	Mar 24th, 2010 at 23:19 GMT		0 points
	I too would like to see "Reformed" accepted for Dutch Reformed.

	beth61:	Apr 23rd, 2010 at 07:32 GMT		4 points
	Consider accepting "Dutch Reform". Like the quiz!

	For Andrew Johnson's "Unaffiliated," it would be nice to accept either "Protestant," "non-denominational," or simply "Christian." I know that "Christian" is right now a pseudo-bonus-answer that says "Be more specific," but you could amend it to, "For presidents other than Johnson, be more specific."

	JayHankEdLyon:	Apr 29th, 2010 at 14:22 GMT		6 points
	Aside: "Society of Friends", although probably very rarely used without knowing "quaker", really oughtta be accepted.

	joeyostrander:	May 17th, 2010 at 01:05 GMT		-3 points
	what about accepting just "United" for Obama.

	floydpink:	May 22nd, 2010 at 08:54 GMT		-1 points
	The Church of Christ calls itself 'Christian.' As in, that's their proper name. I think that Christian should therefore be an acceptable answer for those three.

	floydpink:	May 22nd, 2010 at 08:55 GMT		1 point
	Sorry, in my previous comment I was referring to the Disciples of Christ, aka Church of Christ, aka Christian Church.
