What's Your Religious IQ?

An article in today's USA Today calls you dumb. Well, all of us Americans, actually. It's about how woefully ignorant many Americans are about religious matters. Not necessarily what they believe, but the history and development of their own faith, as well as the central tenets of other faiths:

Sixty percent of Americans can't name five of the Ten Commandments, and 50% of high school seniors think Sodom and Gomorrah were married.

The author quoted liberally in the article argues that we need more religious education in schools, which I agree with. The problem, of course, is that so many times the faithful can't leave well enough alone and turn education into conversion.

The web version of the article has a nifty little quiz on the side where you can test your religious IQ. I got a 76 (out of 100) - not bad for a heathen.
