U.S. Religious Knowledge Quiz

How much do you know about religion? And how do you compare with the average American? Here’s your chance to find out.

Take our short, 15-question quiz, and see how you do in comparison with 10,971 randomly sampled adults who were asked these and other questions designed to measure the public’s knowledge about a wide range of religious subjects. This study was conducted mostly among members of Pew Research Center’s American Trends Panel, supplemented by interviews with members of the Ipsos KnowledgePanel.

When you finish the quiz, you will be able to compare your knowledge of religion against that of the participants in the nationally representative survey. You can see how you compare with the overall population as well as with people of various religious traditions, people who attend worship services frequently or less often, men and women, and college graduates as well as those who did not attend college.
