Doesn't seem to be a good category for Universalism and similar modern movements with intellectual bent.

Poll sucks.

All Protestants are going to Hell.  Orthodox will go to Limbo.

Does that count as "Christian"?

Some of them would seem to consider themselves Christian, e.g Christian Science

Holy Mother Church, followed by CofE and Orthos.

Ditto.  I don't consider them "worthless," but I consider the differences between them to be an issue for their members, not for me.

I first quoted the last poll options but then figured it doesn't adequately represent my opinion about Christian denominations as I don't consider them "worthless", so I deleted that. I couldn't even tell you what differences there are between most of the poll choices. I guess I can roughly distinguish between Catholics and Protestants, but I have no idea what say Pentecostals are and what makes them different from Calvinists or Baptists. I assume all of them are protestants in some form, but that's about it.

It is helpful to know which sect is more likely to contain literalist loons so as to know who not to vote for in elections.

Why do you say that?  We specifically were not supposed to concern ourselves with their beliefs.

Isn't some basic level of education about religion, including the practices and beliefs of some of the major world religions, together with some of the major denominations, part of being a well rounded person?

I mean, I don't put a lot of value in the muslim faith, but I could tell you some basic information about the sunni, shia, suffi and wahhabist schools of thought.
