"One cannot truly say they understand history until they also understand the religion of the people they study"

Maybe that's why non-believers scored so well on the test, they know more history. I know I did so well on the 15 question precisely because I read so much history, not because I've studied religions per se. And it was a burgeoning knowledge of history, moreso than science, that led me away from religion when I was a teenager.
