The question did not mention forcing people to pray or organized prayer. Your last two statements would not be possible if the government "[abolished] school prayer." If that's not what this is about, then they should have written the question more specifically. As it is, they included _all_ forms of prayer -- both organized and voluntary -- in their question. That's the problem I have with this entire survey: it uses language loosely, and does so in a manner that shows bias. From what you wrote, I think we agree on the definition of authoritarian, and I suspect if you interpreted "abolish school prayer" the way I did (abolishing all prayer at schools), then we might agree on all points :).
