What do ya know?
For most people, the answer is "not much."
The Pew Forum on Religion and Culture asked adults to respond to a U.S. Religious Knowledge Survey. Most Americans scored 50% or less on a quiz measuring knowledge of the Bible, world religions, and Constitutional issues regarding religion in public life.
One of the surprising -- to me -- responses is that barely half of the Catholics who responded know that when they receive communion they are actually receiving Jesus' body and blood. (I wonder how many of the people who identified themselves as Catholic are regular Mass-goers and how many participate only occasionally.)
A summary from CNN is available here.
A 15-question version of the quiz is available here. (I couldn't get the quiz to work with Firefox but it did work with Internet Explorer.)
