New study finds atheists/agnostics "the most knowledgeable" about religion.

RE: New study finds atheists/agnostics "the most knowledgeable" about religion.
This explains the persistence of religion. If they knew how stupid their beliefs were, they'd all become atheists straight away.

Or maybe not.

But it still makes sense that they don't know about transubstantiation, because, even for Catholicism, that's pretty hard to swallow. Just like other fluids that the priests are in charge of.
'We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.' H.L. Mencken

'False religion' is the ultimate tautology.

'It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.' Mark Twain

'I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.' Abraham Lincoln
