In the study, American atheists/agnostics actually scored highest of any studied group regarding Christian theology and the other great religions of the world. The Jewish faith scored second and Mormons third, with other denominations below them and Catholics bringing up the bottom. This probably makes for a flock that’s easily led, or misled. But does it build a firm foundation for the future of religion in America? In a world where technology and knowledge are becoming ever more dominant, how long can willful ignorance prevail?
