I wouldn't say House knows that much about other religions just what everyone else knows. Cause his (and the producers) conceptions of Mormons are pretty dang off. Why can I say this? Cause I am a Mormon myself and there were parts while watching Cole I'm like wt heck that isn't what a Mormon would do or what we believe. I may write an article detailing the specifics sometime, but right now all I can remember is they're right about the no drinking.

Well my guess would be there's a spectrum in the Mormon faith just like almost any other...some are more contemporary than others, and maybe their portrayal of Cole was a reflection of the opposite end of the spectrum from you RPP. I'm not very knowledgeable on the Mormon faith in particular, but I know there is usually a wide spectrum in different religions as far as how people interpret religious texts and follow the "rules."

Anyway, I do think House is atleast decently informed on most religions we've seen on the show thus far. Especially for someone who isn't religious himself.
