“Religion? Fifty-five percent of Americans believe Christianity was established by the
Constitution as our official government religion, but 60% of Americans cannot name five of the Ten Commandments.
Fifty percent of all high school seniors think Sodom and Gomorrah were husband and wife, and one out of three guessed that the Sermon on the Mount was delivered by Billy Graham.”
Those who believe so strongly in Christianity seem to know next to nothing about it. It’s frightening to think that these are the people who want to establish it as the national religion.
“History? Twelve percent, on one survey, identified Joan of Arc as the wife of Noah. Only one out of four could name our first president. Just 10 percent knew how many justices sit on the Supreme Court, and only 14% could name the author of the Declaration of Independence.”
No wonder, with such an ignorance of history, it should be no surprise that Americans would be foolish enough to believe that America was founded as a Christian nation.
