Atheists and agnostics average 20.9 correct answers. Jews and Mormons do about as well, averaging 20.5 and 20.3 correct answers, respectively.

Are Oneness Pentecostals considered Protestants?

Re: US Religious Knowledge Survey
 

Yes.

Not sure they were included in the study, but they would be considered Protestants.

I just took their 15 question survey. I totally guessed on 3 questions and still got 100%

I got 14 out of 15, but I know which one I missed, stupid mistake.

Re: US Religious Knowledge Survey
 

100%

ha and then I just retook it and got 14/15. Overconfidence-I didn't read the questions thoroughly!

Re: US Religious Knowledge Survey
 

Shocker.....I got 100%. I expected to come on here and say, "I'm not too proud to admit that I missed 3!" Some were associative guesses. WooHoo, I'm proud of myself.
