Religious Illiteracy

So, a BU professor finds that Americans don't know their religious facts. I'm shocked, shocked! In a rabidly religious country, people don't actually know what the bible says?

I have to admit, on this sample test of religious literacy, I didn't get right the difference between Sunni and Shiia. And I answered a Mormon question so fast I got it wrong.

Interestingly, the self-reported results of people taking the test online are very high, unlike people on the street. Either people reading the article online are well educated, or liars.

Now, how many people know how many calories are ina life size chocolate Jesus?
