Apparently, religious people don’t know that much about religion:
In fact, although the United States is one of the most religious developed countries in the world, most Americans scored 50 percent or less on a quiz measuring knowledge of the Bible, world religions and what the Constitution says about religion in public life.
Atheists do a little bit better, in large part (I assume) because a lot of the questions are things you’d know from reading Your Religion Is False. And, in fairness to the religious folks, a lot of the things on the test are sort of obscure, like Maimonides and Indonesia and the Ten Commandments.
I’m most perplexed* by the following result:
Barely half of all Catholics know that when they take communion, the bread and wine literally become the body and blood of Christ, according to Catholic doctrine.
You’d think they’d figure that one out just from the taste and texture.
* That’s a Maimonides joke. Har har.
Ha! I got 10 out of 10 answers correct.
Where’s the quiz? I can’t find it.
Out of the examples they gave in the CNN article, the only one I didn’t know was Maimonides. I should have known that one too — I’ve heard the name — but I just couldn’t remember.
I wasn’t super-confident about the first four books of the New Testament, but I took a guess and I was 100% right.
Ah, found it! Yeah I got 9 out of 10. Not too shabby.
Religion is False, it’s the Plain Truth. Religion is for motherfuckers, and pig bastards.
What do you want, you little f*ckers?

WOW , atheists live in harmony and peace. We as atheists would never threaten to “cut off the heads” of Christians. You relgious zealots seemingly know NOTHING about all the blood and human lives sacrificed in the name of Christianity , as it still doesn’t appease your thirst for continued violence, stupidity , and above all ignorance. WHY? ; Why are you Christians so threatened? Actually I belive it’s quite a simple explanation : the brainwashing and subtle form of child abuse you’ve endured since childbirth just may be helping you to “see the light”instead of making you look like jackasses , but as of now , you’re in the transitional stage. Thanks so much , and make sure “you keep that faith.”
Probably the only time in my life I have seen the words “transubstantiation” and “Maimonedes” next to each other.
IN my limited experience most Catholics are not religious and hate the pope. At any rate, that’s what I’ve learned living in a Catholic country where “me cago en dios” (“I shit on god”) is a commonly heard phrase. The Catholic church is the oldest (and therefore among the most evil) human institution in continuing existence, and likes to think of itself as the biggest (I don’t know which is bigger – Catholic Church or China). One way it maintains its sense of self-importance is that once someone has been baptized, they are a catholic forever and always. Getting oneself removed from the list requires a meeting with a bishop, and the bishops don’t give out appointments. It’s like trying to renounce US citizenship, only without the IRS audit.
its funny how you idiots don’t believe in god, till your half dead on the floor yelling oh god, or when your kids are slowly dieing asking you if they are going to heaven or Hell, tell then you robbed them from their salvation and will be condemned for denying your lord. then again we need people like you, just like we needed Judah to make everything happen into place. Just because you don’t belive dose not mean he don’t exist, think about that.
Well, Christianity is a religion where all the ceremonies and blessings( communion, baptism, confirmation), don’t get you into heaven. Knowing the bible won’t get you into heaven, and going to church won’t get you into heaven. Some people like to summarize it into this “it is by grace you have been saved” all you have to do is repent to the lord( which lots of people ask ” why should I repent, what if there isn’t a god?) well, it is your belief, and there are stories of people going to Heaven/Hell. On the Other hand, almost all other major religions focus on pleasing there god and trying to do good works to get into the afterlife. Humans can only do so much, and its pretty hard to have more good works than bad ones
Ignorance is a virtue for the christards. The less they know about their surroundings, the more real is their piece of shit desert god.
Some of the troubles with the reiigious people is WHEN THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTHS. Their intention is to attack you, convince you, transform you and pocket you !!!! Suddenly usually their face take a strange appearance of fright, pity, and distorted by fear, and open disintegration. then the puke and the vomit comes out of the hole in their face and they are transported somewhere (Where I don’t want to go !!!!)
