I got 100% too (and only had to make educated guesses on two questions), not that there was any question that I'd do so with my memory and the fact that I read the Bible cover-to-cover when I was younger, and then read most of it again with a critical eye about 12 years ago.
Now the irony is that heretics and heathens often know the Bible fairly well, whereas the evangelical types who loudly proclaim the 10 Commandments should be posted everywhere can't even recite half of them from memory, much less know more obscure Biblical lore. Could it be said that, in general, the more one knows about the Bible, the less one is likely to harbor the opinion that it's an interesting collection of mythology, but dangerous to take as gospel?
