[QUOTE="Lee M, post: 62364752, member: 319580"] Ahem... What I posted was a link directly to the pew forum itself, not any blog and I posted it first... I posted this [URL="http://www.pewforum.org/U-S-Religious-Knowledge-Survey.aspx"]U.S. Religious Knowledge Survey - Executive Summary - Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life[/URL] The other person later (6 posts later) posted this [URL="http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2010/09/28/130191248/atheists-and-agnostics-know-more-about-bible-than-religious"]Survey: Atheists, Agnostics Know More About Religion Than Religious : The Two-Way : NPR[/URL] and what you said didn't address the entire poll and what you said in your latest post to me didn't make any sense. The Poll concluded that atheists and agnostics know more about religion in general which does not contradict your own statement seen here and that is exactly what the poll concluded to be true. The poll also concluded that out of seven different types of Christians, only 2 of those 7 types even know their own set of beliefs better than atheists and agnostics. It said that out of 12 bible specific questions the the best at answering were Mormons with 7.9 questions correct, the next were white evangelical protestants with 7.3 questions correct and the next were atheists and agnostics 6.9 (less than a single question difference) none of the other 5 types of Christians got above 5.9 correct and concerning religion in general Atheists and Agnostics easily won compared to the evangelicals. I remember when this poll came out, it was quite the buzz. I don't agree with all the propaganda it was used for but the information this Poll gathered does imply that atheists and agnostics know more about Christianity and Religion in general than most believers do. That is exactly what it said. [/QUOTE]
