Always Question Authority 
I knew 28/32 (I missed 12, 20, and 27, and only guessed 29 correctly). I guess that makes me smarter than an atheist (I’m Catholic).
Honestly, though, this doesn’t test how “smart” someone is. And several of the questions are biased against an individual who is very knowledgeable in his own religion but not in other religions, whereas an atheist or agnostic who has sampled many religions would be favored by this quiz.
Pretty sad the average person only gets about half those right, IMHO…I missed the one about Maimoides (sp?)
Interesting… really interesting. Specially for those of us frequently verbally abused by catholics
