Alabamians Beat Nation in Biblical Knowledge

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — Most Alabama residents say they have a religious faith, and a majority in a new poll showed they have a basic knowledge of the Bible.

For example, nearly 70 percent of respondents to last week’s Press-/sRegister/University of South Alabama survey correctly named all four Gospels.

“They don’t call it the Bible Belt for nothing," said Keith Nicholls, a political scientist and director of the USA Polling Group, which conducted the poll.

The poll showed that Alabama residents know more about the Bible than other Americans.
