The quiz is an interesting balance for Dawkins' Virus article. Dawkins seemed very strong on trying to suggest that all religion had to be irrational and that his scientific perspective was therefore the only safe position.
Of course, Dawkins defines a pathology of religion which excludes his own beliefs and gives him safe ground for arguing that Science is not a virus. Nevertheless, the attack on religion uses arguments which have a good symmetry with the arguments he suggests meme-viruses use on each other.
