The link provided by ascuttlefish is only to a portion of the test. The full list of questions can be found at [0]. Overall, I found the survey questions to be unsatisfying. Most of them are what I would categorize as religious trivia rather than true religious content. The questions were along the lines of "what is an atheist", "what religion was Mother Teresa", or "what's the name of Islam's holy book". These are the sort of questions I would expect any college-educated person to nail, regardless of religious affiliation. Only two of the questions required any religion-specific depth of understanding: the questions on Catholic communion and on salvation by faith alone. There were no deep or doctrinally interesting questions about Islam, Hinduism, Judaism, or Buddhism. The test is presented as "questions about the core teachings [and other stuff] of major world religions" but there's really very little here about core teachings. Atheists, Agnostics, and Jews performed very well on the "religion and public life" and "world religions" questions, by about 2.5 points over any Christian subgroup. Mormons and white evangelicals scored highest on the "Christianity and the Bible" sections, by about a point over Atheists/agnostics and Jews [1]. The headline is technically correct, but I've seen people draw some far-reaching and mistaken conclusions from it.
