U.S. Religious Knowledge Survey
Is the pope Catholic? Is the Dalai Lama Buddhist?
Pew Forum’s new “U.S. Religious Knowledge Survey” is causing quite a stir, not least for confirming Prof. Stephen Prothero’s argument in “Religious Literacy” (2007) that the United States is “a nation of religious illiterates.”
See the survey (for which Prof. Prothero served as a consultant) here, and Prof. Prothero’s commentary on it here.
