NEW FROM PEW RESEARCH CENTER
Most Americans are familiar with some of the basics of Christianity and the Bible, and even a few facts about Islam.

A new Fact Tank has key findings from the report. You can also test your religious knowledge with a short quiz – after you complete it, you’ll be able to see how you did in comparison with the general public.
