Test yourself and find out. The 15 question quiz is part of a survey the Pew Research group took of the US to see how much they actually knew about religion. Surprisingly atheists and agnostics had the highest overall scores in the actual survey.

I took it and got a 13. I would have gotten a 14 if:

[spoiler] the question about Jewish sabbath wasn't a trick question. "What day does it begin?" is not "what day of the week is it?" Well technically in Judaism a new day of the week begins when the sun goes down, so when the sun goes down on Friday then it would be Saturday. I believe I got cheated out of a correct answer. I also missed question 15. [/spoiler]

Without taking the test I'd say I'm a little bit above "ignorant".

I went to Catholic schools all my life so I think I have a bit of an advantage over most.

Not that surprising. Atheists are more intelligent on average than religious people.

And now you've done it...

over under on pages for this formerly dying thread is now 6... I am going over...

BTW, are you aware that point of view is skewed, seeing as how very few people are athiest/agnostic...

It's not working for me, but I know most of the essential basics of Christianity as well as some trivial knowledge. For the other religions, I'm not as knowledgeable since I wasn't raised in their faith and they simply don't interest me as much as Christianity does. It doesn't surprise me that atheists and agnostics would score so high, because I would think they would be the ones more likely to research other religions. It seems like most Christians only know a thing or two about their own religion and I assume the same is true with other people of different religions. Most religious people only care to know about their religion and not about the others. This is, of course, just my experience. Obviously, I have no clue what the test asks since it's not working for me. The questions could all deal with primarily Christianity for all I know.

Scored 13/15. I'm a little surprised I got the US legal questions correct since I'm Canadian...

But I got the sabbath question wrong, and I'd never heard of the 'Great Awakening' so I got that wrong too.

atheists and agnostics probably know more about the various religions because they don't try and learn about any specific one.

I'm religious and i got this:
