US Needs a Religious Education
By TAHLIB
Would you believe it if someone told you that Atheists know more about religion than us Believers? That's the finding of a new survey by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. Other than Atheists, Jews and Mormons did the best but even together they make up a small minority of the nation. It's no wonder American's are so frightened of Islam, when Protestants and Catholics (black, white and brown) don't even know our own religion. It's additional proof that there needs to be a dialogue about religious education in America, about world religions and also about our own. The Alpha & Omega Project for Contemporary Religious Arts is needed right now. (Reference: New York Times)
