Pew survey on religious knowledge:

_____________________
1 The earliest surviving collection of sayings directly attributed to the Buddha has him saying to his followers, Gods would be a good idea, if there were any.
2 After you complete the survey, you can compare your score with various categories of respondents. In general, Christians did far worse than atheists or agnostics. Evangelical Christians did worse than Mainstream Christians. Does faith really preclude knowledge???
