Atheists, agnostics most knowledgeable about religion, survey says

In fact, the gaps in knowledge among some of the faithful may give new meaning to the term "blind faith."

A majority of Protestants, for instance, couldn't identify Martin Luther as the driving ***** behind the Protestant Reformation, according to the survey, released Tuesday by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life. Four in 10 Catholics misunderstood the meaning of their church's central ritual, incorrectly saying that the bread and **** used in Holy Communion are intended to merely symbolize the body and ***** of Christ, not actually become them.

so how much do you know about your religion? :D it was only a 32 question survey but i find it fairly amusing the atheists and agnostics did the best. the other major factor was education (not surprisingly i suppose) although atheists/agnostics did better than religious folks with similar level of education.
