From the article: On questions about Christianity, Mormons scored the highest...

On questions about the book of Genesis & where Jesus was born, white Evangelicals scored the same as Lds...and only 2 % pts behind Lds on naming the 4 gospels, which is neglible.

Where white between 1-in-8 and 1-in-4 more (more 1-in-8) Evangelicals tended to "flunk" was key characters in the Old Testament.

One in four more Evangelicals failed by faultily identifying the Golden Rule as a commandment. That was at least more understandable, given verses where Jesus would say: 34A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. (John 13:34)

Overall of the dozen questions about the Bible, the avg. score distinction between Lds & Evangelicals was only half a question. And given that Lds study basic Bible tidbits, & tend to twist the key parts of the Bible into unrecognizable pretzels, no big surprise.

I guess it is hard for you to see the survey for what it was... A SURVEY. Mormons didn’t write it, neither did Mormonism. The fact that Mormons demonstrated more knowledge of things Christian (not surprising) than did other “Christians” is all that is pointed out. you can try to be apologetic about the results but it is what it is. Deal with it.
