A Pew Form study released today shows that atheists/agnostics are more knowledgeable about religion than religious people themselves. That's not particularly surprising, but I found some of the results interesting. You can read the results here and take a sample quiz from the survey here.
Hunh. 14 out of 15 right (I missed the one about the First Great Awakening -- what on earth was that??), and I don't consider myself particularly knowledgeable about religion. :( Or didn't, anyway....
And after reading the comments, I see that my first impression was correct -- compared to my peers, my knowledge of religion is average. Yay for smart friends! :)
