Prieskum z roku 2010 ukázal, že tí, ktorí sa identifikujú ako ateisti alebo agnostici sú v priemere nábožensky vzdelanejší ako vyznavači veľkých náboženstiev. Neveriaci dosiahli lepšie výsledky v otázkach o kľúčových zásadách viery protestantov a katolíkov. Iba [[Mormonizmus|mormóni]] a [[Judaizmus|židia]] boli v testoch rovnako úspešní ako ateisti a agnostici.<ref>Landsberg, Mitchell (September 28, 2010).

A 2010 survey found that those identifying themselves as atheists or agnostics are on average more knowledgeable about religion than followers of major faiths. Nonbelievers scored better on questions about tenets central to Protestant and Catholic faiths. Only Mormon and Jewish faithful scored as well as atheists and agnostics.<ref name="religion knowledge">{{harvnb|Landsberg|2010}}</ref>
