When it comes to basic knowledge about what different religions teach, Jews and atheists know more than every kind of Christian.
That’s the bottom line in a new survey from the Pew Research Center, which asked 32 questions testing everyone’s religious knowledge. (You can take the quiz right here.)
Let’s discuss the results, then get into what the heck is going on here.
Only 9% of people got a score higher than 75% — which doesn’t sound all that impressive — but Jews, atheists, and agnostics fared better than Christians overall.
Fortunately I'm one of the 9%, but the quiz has no real connection to actually religious teaching and the only ones that should feel proud of the accomplishment is theophobiacs as it could fuel their feelings of omniscience while not actually having to know anything a Jeopardy category on religious studies wouldn;t provide the answers to.
