Measuring scientific knowledge: can we use questions that are denied by the religious?

In reply to http://www.ljzigerell.com/?p=534 and his working paper here: http://www.ljzigerell.com/?p=2376 We are discussing his working paper over email, and I had some reservations about his factor analysis. I decided to run the analyses I wanted myself, but it turned into a longer project which should be placed in a short paper instead of in a private email. I fetched the data from his source. The raw data did not have variable names, so was unwieldy to work with. I opened the SPSS file, and it did have variable names. Then I exported the CSV with the desired variables (see supp. material). Then I had to recoded the variables so that the true answers are coded as 1, false answers as 0, and missing as NA. This took some time. I followed his coding procedure for most cases (see his STATE file and my R code below).
