As a meme, Christianity has stumbled onto a pretty good survival tool: doubting its main tenets will doom you to eternal punishment. People who are credulous enough to buy a talking snake, a burning bush, and so on aren't gonna turn their doubt on when they're told that the Bible was Divinely Inspired and therefore beyond criticism.
But yeah, most Christians I've met have only a sketchy knowledge of the Bible.
