I'll second Simon's comment.
The first time I took it, I gave pretty much those answers -- and it took strong exception to them.
The second time around I took a firmer, judgemental line (atheist requiring stronger-than-evolution confirmation of the existence of God) and merely had to bite a bullet.
For quite a while now I've been forming an opinion to the effect that most philosophical thought -- since the turn of the 20th century, if not before -- is of zero relevance to the human condition and indeed actively obfuscates the issues and derives stupid and wrong conclusions. The fact that my brother-in-law is a philosophy prof. doesn't help improve my opinion of the field -- and neither does the inflexibility of this quiz.(Which would seriously screw with any polytheists in the audience, wouldn't it?)
