Not me.

I read the first question and realised that the questionnaire was completely useless, at least for me.

Worse than that.
Consider four people who hold the following beliefs about the nature of God:

"There is no God."
"There is a God, but I don't know what he's like."
"I'm not sure whether there is a God."
"I don't care."

From what I saw of the questionnaire before I gave up on it, each of these four people will be required to give the same answers to each question.
