Knowing your religion?

I thought this was an interesting article:
Survey: Americans don't know much about religion

But atheists actually know more than Protestants and Catholics, Pew Forum finds

"A new survey of Americans' knowledge of religion found that atheists, agnostics, Jews and Mormons outperformed Protestants and Roman Catholics in answering questions about major religions, while many respondents could not correctly give the most basic tenets of their own faiths."

I'm not sure a mere 32 questions is sufficient to make that determination. Still, I'd like to know what they asked.

The CNN article has 10 of the questions. I got 9/10 of them, but I basically knew the one I missed--just had a momentary lapse in knowledge. The right answer was my first guess, but I wasn't that confident and went with another answer.

10 for 10 (CNN).

None of those were particularly in depth regarding tenants of faith.

It is, but it starts at sundown on Friday. Jewish days work like that instead of from midnight.
