Just found this in the Christian Science Monitor.
A new study shows that many devout Americans know less about religion than do atheists..
For a highly religious people, Americans have plenty of room to improve their knowledge of religion, according to a new survey thatÂ’s stirring debate about the health of faith in America.
The US Religious Knowledge Survey, released Tuesday from the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, found atheists and agnostics know more basic facts about the Bible than either Protestants or Catholics.

The CS MonitorÂ’s survey is the full 32 questions, but you have to write down your answers and score yourself. I got 3 wrong

This is the shorter version This was my score:
You answered 15 out of 15 questions correctly for a score of 100%.

I know that some HP members will do really well, though there are some very American legal and school questions that you just have to guess at.
