Take the U.S. Religious Knowledge Quiz

Here's an interesting item. Click on the link to take the U.S. Religious Knowledge Quiz from Pew Research. Then compare your performance against the norm. Even though the U.S. is a highly religious country, the average American got only half the answers right.

You can also check and see a number of results, such as the finding that Jews got the highest average score of 65%, followed closely by atheists/agnostics at 64%! You might be surprised who scored low, and which questions were the toughest and easiest.

As a pluralistic society ourselves and one heavily involved in many parts of the world, it would behoove the American populace to have a reasonable understanding of major world faiths. Though this survey shows we are not completely ignorant, it makes clear we have a ways to go.
