The gospel question is one of the 12 questions included on Christianity. See the comment at the bottom.

I wasn't the 15:08 poster on page 11. And that poster didn't say "in-depth".

And to recap: 
- 19% of Protestants knew the correct answer for the protestant question. (As compared to 22% of Atheists/Agnostics who got that right. Ha.)
- And only 55% of Catholics know that bread/wine become body/blood? Very basic thing here. Even **I** know this.

Atheists/Agnostics aren't alone in their "hard time understanding Christianity". Aside from the evangelicals and Mormons, a lot of Christians didn't do well on the VERY BASIC questions about Christianity.

[b]So it's very interesting that all animosity is directed towards atheists/agnostics[/b].

The animosity is directed at YOU for misrepresenting the Pew survey as showing atheists have a good knowledge of Christianity.  Your actual words in your 15:08 reply were, “Actually, these days, most atheists were raised in a religion, so know a lot about religion, first hand.” Then you linked to the Pew report and claimed it supported your contention that atheists “know a lot about religion.” It doesn’t support that at all—more than half of atheists flunked most questions about Christianity. You were hoping nobody would figure that out, weren’t you?

You also attract animosity for twisting your own post at 15:08. In that post, you were responding to somebody who said “atheists have a hard time understanding Christianity.” Your 15:08 reply directly addressed the “atheists don’t understand Christianity” poster with your “atheists have good knowledge of religion” wording. Now you’re trying your darndest to say that was a “who knows more” debate. It wasn’t, and it’s unfortunate for you that anybody can go back to page 11 of this thread and see what you actually wrote.

Also, it was stupid to link to this particular survey. It asked only the most basic questions about MANY religions. If you wanted to rebut the “atheists don’t understand Christianity” poster  honestly, you should have found a survey that showed atheists actually DO understand Christianity.

You’re the problem. Not atheists in general, despite your silly attempt to play the victim card.[/quote]

1. For the third time, I'm not the 15:08 poster on page 11. Feel free to ask Jeff.

2. And that poster did NOT misrepresent the survey. Atheists/Agnostics scored BETTER than Christians on the Christianity section so [u]they know at least at as much as Christians[/u].

3. I think you've mixed up your time stamps. Unless you really were referring to just that one post? Feel free to repost.

For the fourth time, you and 15:08 are redefining the question 15:08 was actually addressing. That’s not cricket. 15:08 was addressing a poster who claimed atheists don’t understand Christianity. 15:08’s reply was that atheists do understand religion, and here’s a pew survey to prove their BASIC MNOWLESGE (oops, the survey showed most atheists failed most specific tests on religion).

Time to shut this thread down. [/quote]
