Athiests know more about religion than the religious.
I'm sure no-one's surprised by this.

I am disappointed with "Nothing in particular" religion results. It's a shame for their "nothing in particular" cause.
Socrates: "Good is That at which all things aim, If one knows what the good is, one will always do what is good." Brian: "Romanes eunt domus"
GW 2013: "and juistin bieber is gay with me and we have 10 kids we live in u.s.a in the white house with obama" -
Of course they know more. They know not to buy into it. The more you learn, the more silly it becomes.
Religion is based on the "ignorance is bliss" tenet."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Most people who say they belong to a certain religion in surveys don't believe most of the doctrine anyway.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

Wow.More than four-in-ten Catholics in the United States (45%) do not know that their church teaches that the bread and wine used in Communion do not merely symbolize but actually become the body and blood of Christ.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

Wow that they didn't know, or wow that anyone can actually believe the bread and wine is the blood of Christ?"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

You know what else is supposedly the blood of Christ?
Priest semen.

I meant the former, but really, both. Then again, no more ridiculous than any other religious belief.Originally posted by Asher View PostJon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

No real surprise
But I am surprised, that white evangelicals are among those, who, in average, answered the most questions about christianity and the bible correctly: 7.3 questions correctly answered (vs. just 6.7 questions by atheists/agnostics)
Would have expected evangelicals to be as igonrant about their own religion, as they are about other religions

Well, it's a know fact that atheists are more intelligent and worldly wise than religious people. You only have to look at the posters on this site to realise that.
Also, once a religious person has allowed themselves to be brainwashed by a certain doctrine, they're hardly going to give a **** about the doctrines of all the other made up mumbo jumbo they don't believe in.
Religious people are some of the most atheistic (selectively speaking) people I've ever met...

You plainly are not very familiar with American evangelical culture. Some of those people all but memorize the bible. It's all part of Sola Scriptura.Originally posted by Proteus_MST View PostNo real surprise

Why a wow? A ton of "Catholics" are nominally Catholic. Their parents were Catholic, they've been to Church on Christmas, but little else.Originally posted by MikeH View Post
As for the survey results, it's not a surprise. Atheists would tend to study all religions a bit more, as they've actively rejected religion, especially more than those that believe in God, but aren't all that big on studying up on it (who are thrown in with the people who do actively study their relgion).“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

I don't study religion per se, but a cursory glance of the questions in that questionnaire shows that I know the overwhelming majority of them: Quiz
I'm assuming this isn't the proper quiz because you'd have to be a total ****** not to score well in multiple choice!
You answered 14 out of 15 questions correctly
for a score of 93%.
Here's how you did on these 15 questions (excerpted from the larger U.S. Religious Knowledge Survey) compared with a nationally representative sample of 3,412 adults. Read the Full Report
Your responses on the quiz do NOT affect the U.S. Religious Knowledge Survey's results.
Most of that stuff is obvious common sense stuff - I only had trouble on the Americo-centric Qs...
