It's not surprising. Atheists are atheists precisely because they know more about religion than the theists do.

Comment by James Cox on September 17, 2012 at 9:39pm Damn, I got them all right! I must be a well read genius! Nah! Just been around for a while. Had to think about the first question for a few seconds, sorry, should have been faster on the draw.
'Belief' does not equal 'Knowledge'. Sorry Theists!
Comment by Ed on September 18, 2012 at 8:49am Spare me the details is the attitude of most American theists.
Theist- "Mom & dad told me about jesus that's all I need to know."
What a lazy attitude......
Comment by James Cox on September 18, 2012 at 1:39pm My parents told me about Jesus also. It just did not seem to me anything else than a personality cult. Elvis? LOL
Comment by Dale Headley on September 18, 2012 at 2:26pm I love to ask Jehovah's Witnesses at my door to give me their explanation of II Kings, Chapter 2, Verses 23&24. They just stare at me. I even had a couple of them admit to me once that they didn't know what the Pentateuch was. I love it!

Comment by Amanda Mrakovich on September 18, 2012 at 3:57pm Side note: today in the high school that I work in they read from the bible because they were going over different creation stories, and one of my students said that he was an atheist (made my day).
Comment by EJ Davis on September 18, 2012 at 5:00pm I would love to administer this test in the bible belt and cross reference the results with the rest of the nation! I'm sure I'd get a giggle out of it.

Comment by archaeopteryx on September 18, 2012 at 6:58pm Amanda - I don't suppose you offered them my section entitled, "Gods 'r' Us"?
