Who made them the authority? What 3,412 Americans did they survey? What questions were asked? I would say their conclusion is totally wrong.
The quiz used for the formal study was 32 questions long. You can take the abbreviated version (15 questions) at their web site:

“Mormons can answer more Bible questions than their Catholic and mainline Protestant counterparts. “
Apparently they asked questions about what’s in the Bible and the Mormons came out looking good. That’s cuz we actually read and study the Bible.
Go LDS!!!
LOL. Don't get too worked up about it. The headline is misleading. The survey was about general religious knowledge, not the Bible.
3412 people surveyed and only 15 questions doesn’t seem like much of a survey.
