what do an atheist, an agnostic, a jew, and a mormon all have in common?

"Atheists and agnostics, Jews and Mormons are among the highest-scoring groups on a new survey of religious knowledge, outperforming [others] on questions about the core teachings, history and leading figures of major world religions... On questions about Christianity – including a battery of questions about the Bible – Mormons (7.9 out of 12 right on average) and white evangelical Protestants (7.3 correct on average) show the highest levels of knowledge."

This is not meant as an insult to other religions. Of course this doesn't mean that all Atheists know more about religion than any given Catholic or Protestant, or anything like that. I just found it interesting :) Personally I think it's very important to be well-educated about not only one's own religion, but others' as well.

You can take a short quiz here to see about how much you know :)

{my personal score was 15/15... I like religion :)}
