Subject: RE: BS: U.S. Religious Knowledge Survey
Georgiansilver, did you have any reason to expect that the questions would be on "Christianity" rather than "religion" in general? Or are you saying that you are not surprised that you missed some questions because some were on other religions? What is it that you find interesting?

A better PBS NewsHour link - an interview with one of the survey's creators.

One point he highlighted: "On the public school questions, it seems that people overestimate. They think that there are greater restrictions on the teaching of religion in public schools in the United States than there really are."
