Want to have some fun?
Here is the official list of the results of the Religion News Association's Top 10 religion-beat news stories in 2016.
Needless to say, picking the ballot for this poll is hard. Wording the questions is even harder.
So here is your challenge, especially at the top of this list. Look at stories No. 1 and No. 2. How would you have worded them? What major religion events and trends, in your opinion, didn't make the Top 10? Where there major omissions from the ballot itself? Scroll down and look at the items that were not at the top of the list.
Go for it.
1) Donald Trump gets strong support from white Christians, especially evangelicals, in an upset presidential election. Many were alarmed by his vilifying Muslims and illegal immigrants and his backing from white supremacists. GOP keeps majorities in Congress.
2) Post-election assaults and vandalism target Muslims and other minorities. Some assailants cite Donald Trump's victory as validation. Critics denounce the appointment of Stephen Bannon as White House strategist over his ties to white supremacists.
3) Standing Rock Sioux members demonstrate against the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota, which they say will foul water and sacred lands. Clergy and religious activists from around the country join in protests.
4) A busy Pope Francis urges a pastoral approach to the divorced-and-remarried in the apostolic exhortation “Amoris Laetitia.” His Mass at the U.S.-Mexico border supports immigrants; he speaks of Donald Trump's proposed border wall as not Christian.
5) At least 4,600 migrants are killed in Mediterranean shipwrecks while fleeing conflicts, many with religious dimensions, in Africa and Asia. The ongoing crisis fuels anti-migrant, rightward political shifts in Europe, including Brexit.
6) Terrorists linked to, or inspired by, the Islamic State kill scores and injure hundreds at airports in Istanbul and Brussels, at German sites and in Nice, France, where a man kills 86, many of them Muslim, by driving a truck through a seaside holiday crowd.
7) Despite scholarly attention to "the end of white Christian America" and to growing secularism, the former provide decisive votes for Donald Trump while left-leaning religious "Nones" fail to deliver needed votes for Democrats.
8) #BlackLivesMatter protests continue with clergy and religious participation following high-profile shootings of African-Americans by police. Clergy also play a prominent role in uniting communities after deadly shootings of police officers.
9) Although white evangelicals voted Trump by a 4-1 margin, their leaders split sharply. Many evangelicals of color opposed him. Supporters cited pledges of conservative policies and court picks, opponents his alleged misconduct and racist comments.
10) Omar Mateen, claiming allegiance to the Islamic State, shoots and kills 49, wounds 53 at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Fla. Other home-grown terrorists injure dozens at a Minnesota mall, The Ohio State University and NYC-area targets of homemade bombs.
Headlines that did not make the Top 10:
11) The sudden death on Feb. 13 of outspoken conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia leaves the high court deadlocked on many issues. A GOP Senate blocks President Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland, saving the seat for a Trump nominee.
12) Transgender rights get backing from the Obama administration, opposition from a North Carolina law and a decision by the Supreme Court to hear a Virginia bathroom-access case. LGBT groups fear a Trump-Pence rollback of recent legal gains.
13) The trial begins for Dylann Roof in the racially motivated 2015 murders of nine black churchgoers in Charleston. The Southern Baptist Convention urges churches not to display the Confederate flag. Washington National Cathedral removes stained-glass images of the flag.
14) The Supreme Court punts on a politically charged religious-liberty case by asking parties to settle the challenge to the Obamacare mandate for contraception coverage for employees of faith-based schools and charities.
15) Disputes on gay marriage and ordination: United Methodist Church forms commission to avert split; Anglican Communion suspends U.S. Episcopal Church from leadership roles for three years; InterVarsity Christian Fellowship to terminate dissenting employees.
16) Various military forces recapture territory from so-called Islamic State's "caliphate" in Syria and Iraq, though deadly fighting bogs down in Mosul, Iraq. U.N. and U.S. declarations accuse IS of genocide against religious minorities.
17) The Syrian war rages on with the Assad government receiving Russian military aid as it aims to crush the mainly Sunni Muslim resistance.
18) Despite opposition from religious and disability-rights activists, laws allowing the terminally ill to seek lethal prescriptions are approved in Colorado, the District of Columbia and Canada, where author W.P. Kinsella (whose novel inspired the movie "Field of Dreams") is among the first to use one.
19) "Holy and Great Council" in Greece, aiming to be broadest Eastern Orthodox council since 787, draws many, but not all, major Orthodox prelates. Cuba hosts the first-ever meeting of a Roman Catholic pope (Francis) and a Russian Orthodox patriarch (Kirill).
20) Human rights groups condemn Myanmar's Buddhist-majority government for its continued attacks on Rohingya, a Muslim minority that it denies rights of citizenship. Thousands of Rohingya flee into forests or neighboring Bangladesh.
21) An Easter bombing targeting Christians kills more than 70 in a Lahore, Pakistan, park; Pakistani Taliban claims responsibility.
22) Fallout continues of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. In Pennsylvania, three Franciscan superiors are charged with failing to protect children from abuser. A Philadelphia church official wins appeal on similar charge.
23) Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan survives a deadly coup attempt in July and cracks down on judges, journalists and followers of Pennsylvania-based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gülen, whom he accuses of plotting the coup and wants extradited from U.S.
24) Notable deaths in 2016: ex-boxing champ and Muslim convert Muhammad Ali; EWTN's Mother Angelica; Billy Graham's songleader, Cliff Barrows; cartoon-tract creator Jack Chick; "Left Behind" author Tim LaHaye; Eagle Forum's Phyllis Schlafly.
25) Bob Dylan wins Nobel Prize in Literature for a half-century of enigmatic song lyrics, many featuring Jewish and Christian imagery. Singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, whose “Hallelujah” and other works were infused with Judaism, dies at 82.
