A Nation of Faith and Religious Illiterates – “Although Americans are far more religious than Europeans, they know far less about religion…according to a 1997 poll, only one out of three U.S. citizens is able to name the most basic of Christian texts, the four Gospels, and 12% think Noah’s wife was Joan of Arc. That paints a picture of a nation that believes God speaks in Scripture but that can’t be bothered to read what he has to say.”
