The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life recently released survey findings indicating Americans are largely ignorant about religion. The questions were very basic and related to all religion, not just the affiliation of any individual responder.
I wasn’t surprised by the results. I’ve watched Jay Leno ask the simplest religious questions of random passers-by on the street who seem to guess “Mickey Mouse” at every turn. Many of them appear to have never given the subject much thought and view religion as irrelevant. However, two sociologists from Baylor have published a book indicating most Americans have a concept of the divine, whether one is religious or not. Many may not even know they have a god-concept.
