No Surprises Here

So evidently non-religious people generally know more theology than religious people. Now this is definitely a gross generalization! I know several very well-informed religious types (although most of them are converts; hmm....). In any case, it's not much of a shock. Atheists and agnostics tend to have gone through an intellectual process to arrive at their destination. It's not a very common default. And I have to say, for much of my life I've been shocked at the very skewed information that evangelical christians get about their own sacred texts. You'd think literalists who believe that the Bible is the inspired word of god would take the time to actually read the bloody thing....
