	This maybe would have been better if you had to guess the people rather than the relgions.

	waterjoe:	Jan 1st, 2011 at 18:16 GMT		3 points
	It might make more sense to just remove the "unknowns" from the list. People could guess forever and never get it right.

	waterjoe:	Jan 1st, 2011 at 18:16 GMT		2 points
	Okay. Now I see that the instructions said there may be some unknowns.

	waterjoe:	Jan 1st, 2011 at 21:58 GMT		2 points
	I can never finish although I am either entering an answer or skipping the unknowns. Maybe a little more time?

	bworden_99:	Jan 2nd, 2011 at 01:02 GMT		1 point
	I'll add a little more time, it was tough for me to get them all too.

	newenglander:	Jan 2nd, 2011 at 01:02 GMT		2 points
	maybe instead of using religion in the title, change it to belief, since confucianism, nazism, and marxism arent really religions

	What I learned from this quiz 1) that Simon Bolivar was an atheist (surprise) 2) and what a Sandemanian is (never heard of them, looked them up to find they are extinct but have many beliefs that are similar to mine)

	waterjoe:	Jan 2nd, 2011 at 21:11 GMT		2 points
	I did much better with the extra time. If I had just tried "Protestant" for some instead of trying to think of the denomination I would have done even better. Good quiz.
