I got question 4 wrong. Apparently its not an acceptable part of atheism to belittle religions. Oh well, I disagree with that, although I think the answer is a bit personal rather than factual.

I got 13 as well, thought George W made the citizens quote not George H. W. Also didn't know the mathematics question, thought it was Stephen Jay Gould.
The last question seemed fine, I answered Boy Scouts of America.
I also agree with Adrian that that one question can have a personal answer. However it asks most atheists and in general atheists would rather not rock the boat (or even call them selves atheists for fear of appearing militant).
Though I don't belittle a religious person just because hes religious, I see that person as a victim of religion. Of course they usually give me other reasons (Read Jezusfreek777 or NightVisionPhantom).

The Evolution one also has a bad question in it:
Q12. We humans have lower back pain, varicose veins, and childbirth difficulties- what do these have to do with evolution?
The answer "They are examples of inferior design" is misleading since Evolution doesn't design anything and therefore design has nothing to do with evolution. If the question was "why do these present a problem for creationism" then the answer would be valid.

"Erm, but the answer is false. He wasn't an atheist, and he wasn't a Christian either. He was into mysticism and believed in some sort of deity. Read some of Hitler's speeches, he was very much against religion and atheism.'
Erm, back at you. There is little doubt in my mind that Hitler had no religious or spiritual beliefs, but used whatever was convenient at the time. Himmler was into all kinds of myths and occult nonsense and was apparently sincere. My perception is that Hitler used that stuff only as a means to an end.
I guess we'll need to agree to differ.
