  A survey of 32 question of religious knowledge given by the

  PEW Forum on the religion and public life.

  Get this, on average, Americans got 16 of 32 right.

  Number one group, yes, the Atheists and Agnostics got

  an average of (20.9), Jews (20.5), Mormons(20.3), Protestants(16)

  and Catholics got (14.7), JW,s no idea.

  If this is true, don,t you think this strange.

  You can find the site (Are you smarther than an Atheist

  32 question survey). I was unable to take the test, could

  not bring it up, so I have no idea what the 32 question were.

  This may not prove anything but have A lot of implication.

  20.9 vs 14.7 is a pretty significant differential. I wonder what the questions were?

  Sab, maybe you can get the question, like I said for some

  reason I could not bring them up. Again not sure if this

  is A true survey.

  I actually got 100% on that test. A few weeks ago people on this board were saying that Christians did not understand their own beliefs and the test they used was the above one. However, if you take the test, you will see that all the major religious groups are represented. So IF a christians did not do too well it is not because they do not understand their own beliefs, but rather do not understand others beliefs.

  I would recommend then to everyone who is religious, to at least get an overview of the other major religlions so you will not look like an idiot trying to tell others what thier beliefs are. You know, sort of what we did to others as JW's? Peace all, Lilly
