The extract under describes some of the results:
A new electioneer of Americans' knowledge of religion found that atheists, agnostics, Jews and Mormons outperformed Protestants and Roman Catholics in answering questions about elder religions, at the same time as a number of respondents might not suitably portray the most basic tenets of their own faiths.
Forty-five percent of Roman Catholics who participated in the study didn't know that, according to church teaching, the currency and wine used in Holy Communion is not fit a symbol, but becomes the article and blood of Christ.
Spare than not whole of Protestants might not make out Martin Luther as the human being who expressive the Protestant Sport. And about four in 10 Jews did not know that Maimonides, one of the notation rabbis and intellectuals in history, was Jewish.
Decipher the untruth from which the extract above was occupied indoors.
Bit the Locale States is one of the most goody-goody countries in the world, high society who go to church always know pretty to the point about their own dependence, greatly less about the goody-goody traditions of other dependence communities.
These results exploit that churches and synagogues are defenselessness to teach their members the basic knowledge of their own history and beliefs. In the role of a sad communication on the work of today's churches and synagogues.
