[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The NY Times and Time magazine (among other news outlets) also reported on the 2010 Pew Study.

https://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/28/us/28religion.html
Those who [b]scored the highes[/b]t were atheists and agnostics, as well as two religious minorities: Jews and Mormons. The results were the same even after the researchers controlled for factors like age and racial differences.

“Even after all these other factors, including education, are taken into account, atheists and agnostics, Jews and Mormons still [b]outperform[/b] all the other religious groups in our survey,” said Greg Smith, a senior researcher at Pew.

“Why did atheists do so well? The study concluded that those who reject faith often do so after growing up in a religious household, and studying and deliberating keeping the faith. Also, atheists and agnostics tend to be better educated in general. Why did Christians do so poorly? It may be because once someone accepts a faith, they stop examining it.”

Time for a new survey! It’s been almost  ten years now and I bet religious people have studying like crazy to improve their scores.

Just reading this thread, it’s obvious how embarrassed some religious people are about being beat out by atheists and agnostics.

Scored higher  =\= “knows a lot about” as claimed by 15:08.
Outperformed =\= “knows a lot about.”

As Pew clearly showed, fewer than half of atheists could answer the most basic questions about Christianity.
