Who Knows More about Religion: Atheists or Christians?
A survey about religion finds that atheists and agnostics knew more, on average, than followers of most major faiths. A majority of Protestants, for instance, couldn't identify Martin Luther as the driving force behind the Protestant Reformation. The survey was conducted by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life. Four in 10 Catholics incorrectly said that the bread and wine used in Holy Communion are merely symbolize the body and blood of Christ as Baptists believe, not actually become them. The question that elicited the most correct responses overall was about whether public school teachers are allowed to lead their classes in prayer.
