Depends what you're testing for, I guess.
If you're testing so that only the best and brightest get into Heaven, you'd want to rig the system so that the brightest problem solvers could figure it out. If that's the case, atheists and other free thinkers are going to Heaven.
On the other hand, if you're testing for gullibility and people who'll just do as their told without question, than Christianity is a great test for that.
