The journal _New Scientist_ has an on-line promotion of something or

Can't say I'm too impressed with the quiz. The Liberty Science Center
in New Jersey has a, perhaps more scientifically based, similar test.
The link below does as well. Both of those have more seemingly useful

Speaking of Gallup Polls, I recently heard that old man Gallup himself is a
very devout fundamental christian and that in fact there tends to be some bias
in his sampling procedures to favor his viewpoints.
Any truth to this at all ? Anyone have any references?
