>>>
>>>Atheists and agnostics at the top - Catholics at the bottom.
>>>
>>>Highlights of the survey include:
>>>— More than four-in-10 Catholics do not know that their church teaches that the bread and wine used in Communion actually become the body and blood of Christ.
>>>- About half of Protestants cannot correctly identify Martin Luther as the person who sparked the Protestant Reformation.
>>>- Less than half identified Buddhism as the Dalai Lama's religion, 51 percent knew that Joseph Smith was Mormon and 54 percent correctly said the Koran is the Islamic holy book. More than 80 percent knew that Mother Teresa was Catholic.
>>>- Nine-in-10 Americans know U.S. Supreme Court rulings do not allow teachers to lead public school classes in prayer. But two-thirds incorrectly said Supreme Court rulings prevent them from using the Bible as an example of literature.

I'm not a practitioner of the dark arts but I wouldn't imagine thats necessary, in fact its counter productive. After all if people weighed up the facts religion and looked at its track record they wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Anyway I'm just off out to buy some snake oil.
