Americans get an 'F' in religion

 Well, so much about America being a 'deeply religious' nation... then again, who said claiming to be religious and being utterly ignorant of your own religioun is a contradictory state?

 

By Cathy Lynn Grossman, USA TODAY Sometimes dumb sounds cute: Sixty percent of Americans can't name five of the Ten Commandments, and 50% of high school seniors think Sodom and Gomorrah were married.  Rest of the article here:

"Hitler burned people like Anne Frank, for that we call him evil.
"God" burns Anne Frank eternally. For that, theists call him 'good.'

Of course then don't know

Of course then don't know much in their own religion, they don't even seem to know there are religions OUT SIDE OF THEIR OWN! Why do you think they keep falling for Pascal's wager?
