Are you knowledgeable about your religion?

According to

65% of Americans believe that religion is an important part of their daily life…given your own experience with religion and that of others, do you think believers around you are knowledgeable about the religion that they believe in…for example, for the Christians around you, do they know the Bible like the back of their hand (do they have to?), do they go to Church as often as necessary (is it necessary?)...do they participate in group discussions about their religion (have you done this? and do you like it?)...

What does it mean to have religion be an important part of one’s life? Is it different for everyone? Is it all about quick prayers or deep conversations? What is ‘continuing education’ when it comes to your religion?

Are people concerned about the history of their religion, are they discussing comparisons of religions? Is knowing the history of your religion and its movement important to you?

I know that, when it comes to religion, some people are against questioning others’ beliefs ..but is it easier for you to question those that are of similar beliefs to yours?

Do you think you’re very knowledgeable about your religion?

remember, this is NOT a question about whether or not religion is a good/bad idea…let’s put that aside for this moment
