Religious Ignorance in a Religious Society

A paradox:  the United States is the most religious of all industrialized (and thus, highly-educated) societies in the world.  But Americans, on the whole, are very ignorant about religion. For those of you who are interested, I wrote about this on another website.

Mahmoud Whatshisname, the President of that nation “somewhere over in Islam.” What do I mean by this? You’ll just have to follow the link to the Church History site to find out.

I was asked to post a blog on the American Society of Church History site.   I decided to ask my fellow academics if there is something that can be done about the ignorance of religion (and Christianity) in American society.  It’s a blog directed toward scholars, but non-academics might be interested, as well.  You can find it here.
