The IITB quiz was fascinating. A small point of note : question # 5 may take more than one answer ("Which is the only Asian country where Christians are in the majority?"). Besides Philippines, Cyprus is another country in Asia where Christians are in the majority. (To be sure, Cyprus is a member of the European Union, but it is perhaps best described as a Eurasian country.) Indeed, Cyprus is one of the most religious countries in the EU, and has a significant majority identifying themselves as Christian. There is, of course, the part of Cyprus that is disputed by Turkey. It will require just a few lookups to see what the percentages are in Cyprus after you take out the Turkish portion, but I don't feel like doing that right now.
there is also east timor to consider.
