Religious literacy quiz

The hosts run a 15-question religious-knowledge quiz: the Exodus (Moses), Mother Teresa's religion (Catholic), which is not one of the Ten Commandments ('do unto others'), when the Jewish Sabbath begins (they answer Saturday -- wrong; it is Friday sundown), Ramadan (Islamic holy month), Catholic transubstantiation, Vishnu and Shiva (Hinduism), the suffering-yet-obedient figure (Job), Joseph Smith's religion (Mormon -- one host confesses he wrote 'John' on Facebook and googled 'John Smith Mormon'), whether a public teacher may lead prayer (no) or read the Bible as literature (yes -- the most-missed, only 23% get it), Pakistan's majority religion (Muslim), the Reformation's inspirer (Martin Luther), nirvana (Buddhism), and the First Great Awakening preacher (Jonathan Edwards). They score 14/15 -- 'better than 97% of the public.'
