Offline digitalbeachbum, good job.
You scored a 76%
Questions 1, 2, 7, 8, and 9 are subjective based on your background and I don't count these in the quiz. My original intent was to see how a theist responded to them.
On the other questions you missed 5 of 21. I'll tell you which ones and why when I post the answer key.
You scored better than most believers with a 76%. The best I ever got was an 80 %. The average I got from believers was 65 %
The New Testament relative order I refer to is chronological. I use 2 generally accepted sources for it. It OK not to answer that part, it's time consuming unless you know, and what I found from most believers is they don't.

Offline 1: No. My faith in our knowledge of the actual events and characters of history decrease significantly the further back in time you look, and the less evidence there is. Any and all writings should be considered suspect. Any event or character with only a single reference from a single area should be considered myth. An entire topic of discussion could be had on why, so I'll skip over that for now. Most educated people will have some ideas anyway.
2: Kinda. I believe the evidence shows a massive flood over an incredibly huge area did occur at a location that had been previously inhabited at about the right time for the mythology to arise. However, the entire world has never been entirely covered in water. And the floodwaters that did occur have never fully receded. The location is the Black Sea.
3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8: Dunno.
9: Yes, kinda, maybe.
10+: Dunno. Don't care about most of it. Irrelevant to anything that matters.

Questions 1, 2, 7, 8, and 9 are subjective and I don't include them in my scoring. And several others I'm lenient on the answers where it depends on your viewpoints.
You missed 6 of 21 or you got a score of 71% of those you answered.
The last question is mostly to see if believers know the history of the development of their NT.
I'll post the answer key and tell you which one's you missed, probably next Sunday.

I think the flood stories of the Hebrew Bible come from the Sumerian tales. They are similar to what a Cat 4 or 5 hurricane (typhon in that area) would do if it went up the Persian Gulf. The nomadic tribes came from Mesopotamia and settled in Palestine brought these tales with them, over time they were most likely altered into other legends.
There are untold believers that think this stuff matters to the point they give big time cash to their form of beliefs. That they don't even know what their stories actually contain shows the amount of mental effort they put into acceptance.
I know you were brought up as an atheist and were never exposed to most of the story telling details. Most Protestant believers are taught much of this in Sunday School and Catholics and others in parochial schools.
Then again, most Americans don't know who they have for Senators, Congressmen or who is in the current Cabinet.

Thousands, nay millions, of cute, innocent, & ignorant children being locked in a room with a deranged asshat who tells them a collection of fairy tales and horror stories, and calls it real.

Consider yourself lucky Vas. It's worse than creepy. In most churches there is almost no standard requisite for being a sunday school teacher. In our church they let this creepy lady teach the 7-10 yr olds. She had had 4 strokes and could barely see straight. On top of that she was a complete spook. She would start talking about Jesus and just cry. I asked her why she was crying and she said "someday you will cry for Jesus". Fucking looney tunes man. Luckily I had a cool Mom and she let me go into the older kids class with a pretty cool halfway down to earth dude. Many of these kids not only have to endure sunday, but spend alot more time on little field trips and camping trips, and summer church camps with these retards. Even as a little kid I knew better and flat out refused to go to any of that shit. I only got 3 hrs a week punishment. Many kids tho don't even stand a chance.
It really bothers me. That's why you hear me making controversial statements about who should be permitted to have children. I know it's going a little too far, but many here never witnessed the shit these children have to endure. I believe children should at least get the chance to let their minds develop before being subjected to religion. I'll never shut up about this shit.
It's hard to cross the line and tell people how they should raise their kids, but I don't let it totally slide anymore. Just last night I talked with an old girlfriend of mine. She has a 6 yr old who I love to death. Mom is no dummy and is one of the best parents i've ever seen, but there is grandma and grandpa. I found out they have discussed her letting them take the kid to church with them. She says "I don't see how it could really do any harm". That's where I stepped in. After a nice talk she seems to see it my way. She said grandma won't be happy, but I told her I would gladly sit down and discuss it with them. This oughta be fun. Better bring your A-game grandma.

Oh, I do. Every time I get annoyed at how much wasted space in my brain has been devoted to religious crap, I remind myself that it was obtained from entertainment for the most part. Disney movies, C.S. Lewis, and the like.
Those who are forced to go to church or something similar have it far worse. Not only do they have a million times as much useless information in their heads, but it was a obtained via a mixture of threats, monotony, fear, anger, and authoritarianism.

Offline Your score was about 71%.
You do have some knowledge but missed some of the sneaky questions.
I will post the answer key on Sunday along with the questions you missed.
Taken cold.
That was the idea.
You scored 6 of 21 correct.
I did not count #1, 2, 7, 8, 9.
Question 17 & 18 I'm lenient on answers.
#25, you started your list in error, HINT - the gospels were not 1st.

I went to 9 years of Parochial school. Everyday had 1 hour of bible teaching, 1 hour of myth tales and or catechism.
I was in the corner a few times for unacceptable questions and views. Such as in regard to the Exodus myths. When I asked, where's the trash.
Despite this or because of it I excelled in science and was a R & D engineer and an engineering manager in a computer company.

Offline Answer key
1. Yes = literal acceptance No = someone who thinks. - I don't count this one.
2. Yes = literal acceptance No = someone who thinks. I don't count this one.
3. B - one of the Judges of Israel
4. C - a king of Israel
5. False – it was Nabonidus
6. No - there is no historical evidence Herod ordered a mass genocide of babies. He was crazy in his last years, but this has no proof.
7. Yes = accepts literally Bible No = Considers or thinks & requires proof. - I don't count this one.
8. Yes = accepts legends no = requires proof to accept. - I don't count this one.
9. Yes = saw Robin Hood movies no = requires more proof. - I don't count this one.
10. No - Archeaology indicate Jericho had no walls at the time of the supposed invasion by the Hebrew Horde.
11. No - Actually Ai means ruins which it was for about 1000 years prior to the mythical invasion by the Hebrew Horde.
12. No – it was Zedekiah
13. Yes = thinks Manasseh was great because he was a loyal vassal to Assyria and developed his country to greatness. No = Believes the story of blood running in the streets of Jerusalem & the idol worship tripe.
14. No only 20% of Israel was relocated by Assyria.
A. The answer was no and it was Assyria not Babylon
15. No, it was Babylon and only 7,000 to 10,000 depending on the Bible source.
A. No only part of the people were relocated See even Jeremiah’s account.
16. No, Zedekiah was taken captive by Babylon. He was not executed.
17. No, he said love thy neighbor etc. He only once suggested in the Gospels if you think I come to bring peace, I bring a sword. He didn’t say to use it though. However, several other NT books indicate he will lead the effort to destroy the Earth and send non-believers to the Lake of Fire.
18. No, he seemed to be a KOG (Kingdom of God is at hand) advocate but was not as violent as say John the Baptist who did use warfare to accomplish his goals.
19. Yes, see Jeremiah 37-38, he is imprisoned for being an apparent Babylonian spy. He is given freedom by Babylon.
20. Yes, see Jeremiah 39:11-14
21. Yes, according to Luke 4:16-30. They attempt to toss Jesus off a hill. The slippery Jesus escapes.
22. No, James is shown as the leader in Acts as well as in Josephus and other writers
23. F - No where. There is not a single place in the Bible that details the fall of the prosecutor angel Lucifer.
24. No – It is in Enoch but not anywhere in the Bible. The angels that rebel are not followers of Lucifer, their leader was Samyaza, see 1 Enoch 7.
Relative order: Note the Gospels were written 30 to 60 years after the other storytelling legends, being anywhere from the 15th to the 23rd in order.
25. A.23 B 15 C 16 D 18 E 17 F 6 G 4 H 5 I 1 J 10 K 8 L 9 M 2 N 3 O 11 P 12 Q 13 R 7 S 14 T 19 U 20 V 21 W 24 X 25 Y 26 Z 22 AA 27

You missed:
#3 - Samson was a judge of Israel not the champion of the Greek Olympics.
#5 - The last king was Nabonidus not Nebuchadnezzar II
#12 - The last king of Judah was Zedekiah not Hezekiah.
#16 - Zedekiah was taken captive to Babylon. His sons were killed but he lived out his days in Babylon's court.
#22 - James was indicated as the head of the Jerusalem Church not Peter. The Peter is a rock thing has nothing to do with it. See Acts.
Tony
You missed:
#5 - Nabonidus was the last king of Babylon not Nebuchadnezzar.
#6 - There is no proof the insane King Herod ordered a mass genocide of babies. Yes he killed his own sons among other things as he feared they were going to overthrow him.
#10 - There were no walls around the samll village of Jericho at the supposed time of the Hebrew Horde invasion, see Bible Unearthed by Finkelstein.
#11 - Ai, was a ruin for 1000 years by the time of the mythical invasion by the Hebrew Horde.
#16 - Zedekiah was captured and lived out his days in the court of Nebuchadnezzar.
#21 - The people of Nazareth attempted to throw the slippery one Jesus off a hill, he escaped, according to Luke 4:16-30.
Dana:
You missed:
#14A - The country of Israel was invaded by Assyria not Babylon. They were not all relocated, only about 20%. The Northern kingdom was a large source of olive oil, relocating all of the population would have caused a major disruption in production. See the accounts in Assyrian records.
#15 - The point of this question was that Babylon invaded Judah not Assyria. The entire population was not relocated.
#16 - Zedekiah lived out his days in exile in the Babylonian court - see Jeremiah 39:7; 2 Kings 25:7
#19 - Jeremiah was imprisoned as a spy - see see Jeremiah 37-38
#20 - Yes, see Jeremiah 39:11-14
#21 - Yes, according to Luke 4:16-30. - The people of Nazareth attempted to toss The Jesus off a hill.
#23 - is no where. The prosecutor angel Lucifer aka Satan does not rebel in a documented story in the Hebrew Bible. Ezekiel 28 is a rant against the king of Tyre and a failed prophecy on his part.
Answers to #25 were to vague, so I did not count them.
The point was the Gospels were not the 1st books as you indicated:
The 1st few in order were: Galatians; 1 Thessalonians; 2 Thessalonians; 1 Corinthians; the Gospels show up as #15-Mark; #16-Luke; #18 John; #23 - Matthew
The exact order of the NT is disputed by nearly all. I use a list from a PTL Bible, Bart Ehrman's books, and Wiki. Regardless, the Gospel storytelling legends came later after the writing of Paul and the forgers who wrote in Paul's name.

Offline 1. Yes, I think that numerous Egyptians and Egyptian slaves (indistinguishable from Jews in the Sacred Christian Mythtext) trekked across Sinai while in exile, eventually settling in Canaan with their children likely assimilating the local customs (including theistic practice of and belief in the Canaan myth referred to as "Yahweh".)
The rest of the questions are kinda boring 
“A meritocratic society is one in which inequalities of wealth and social position solely reflect the unequal distribution of merit or skills amongst human beings, or are based upon factors beyond human control, for example luck or chance. Such a society is socially just because individuals are judged not by their gender, the colour of their skin or their religion, but according to their talents and willingness to work, or on what Martin Luther King called 'the content of their character'. By extension, social equality is unjust because it treats unequal individuals equally.” "Political Ideologies" by Andrew Heywood (2003)
