If you enjoy taking a quiz now and then and would like to see how you compare with other Americans on your knowledge of just six “religion and American life” questions, take the self-test offered [3] on the New York Time’s Web site.

The test is an interactive feature that accompanies an article reporting the less than stellar scores of more than three thousand Americans who took a longer, 32-question test as part of a telephone survey sponsored by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. I expect all readers of America to score 100 percent on the abbreviated Times quiz.
