[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 scored the highest 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 outperform 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.

Thanks for all the typing... but they’re not reporting on the claim at 15:08, that atheists “know a lot about religion.” Nor does either of them say that. [/quote]

If we grade on a curve, then they are f#cking geniuses compared to the Christians.  :lol:

You need to go back to statistics 101. Pew says Catholics know more about Catholic theology than atheists. All Christians know more about the four Gospels than atheists. Thanks [/quote]

This thread is a sh!tstorm of atheists actually lying about Pew’s results. And lying about the atheist post at 15:08 that started it all. [/quote]

LOL. No lying. Just a whole lot of Christian butt hurt.

Are you 12? Do you think that’s actually a good rebuttal to some valid points? Why yes, apparently you do.[/quote]

What valid points? “Atheists are lying” is not a good point because IT DID NOT HAPPEN.  :lol:

Let me know what you make a good point and I’ll dig out my 40-year-old response.

Until then, I’ll just laugh at your butt hurt.

The “go back to statistics 101 poster” has valid points. None of you wants to address them. You just want to spew childish insults. Disgusting for a 40-year-old, if you really are. How’s your parents basement?[/quote]

What are those valid points? How Christians scored better than atheists on one question?  :lol:
