Put me down as another 93%er. I'd never heard of the great awakening.

Someone already reading into the results....
The secular elite has provided most of us with wretched religious education by all but banning it as a topic for serious enquiry or discussion. Meanwhile, they know just enough about religion to get some "facts" right on a pop-religion quiz, but have no grasp on why, despite all temptations, some thoughtful folk remain religious. They know some of the lyrics of religion, but cannot hear the music.

That's right folks: it is the job of the "secular elite" to inform the religionists about their religion, not the church.
Pew has released a study that shows if the average atheist and the average theist appear on religious Jeopardy, the theist is in trouble. However, wisdom and understanding are different from "just the facts." It is good to know facts, but that doesn't mean you get it.
Of course, PZ has already chimed in on this here

Yeah - but then the secular elite actually do regard the topic as one for serious discussion and enquiry. It's often the religious that don't like the direction the discussion goes in...
Hey look! They're taking our claims seriously enough to criticize and investigate them! Strident! Militant! Aggressive!

Re: The entire survey
I'm curious why no Muslims took the survey.......

Re: The entire survey
There were some Muslims, Hindu etc, but not enough to get an accurate percentage, less than 1% of the sample.
