Atheists more knowledgeable about religion than Christians

[MarchHare]

Is it time yet for the monthly CP religion thread?

The survey found atheists and agnostics to be more knowledgeable about religion than Protestants and Catholics.

The survey found that most American Protestants don't know Martin Luther inspired the Protestant Reformation.

Forty-five percent of American Catholics are unaware Catholicism teaches that bread and wine literally become the body and blood of Christ during communion, the survey showed.

Not surprisingly, the survey found that respondents' level of education had a big role in how they did answering the questions.

But even controlling for education and other key demographic traits, atheists and agnostics, Jews, and Mormons knew more than other groups.
