do we know ENOUGH about our faith?

By now I’m sure you’ve read about the recent study by the Pew Forum, which found that the majority of Americans are quite religiously illiterate.  I remember when I left for college, or even worse grad school, in order to study theology.  Even the leader of my church in Colorado said, “David, you know if you study theology you will lose your faith.”  WHAT?  For some reason anti-intellectualism has infiltrated the American religion, and it seems to me that this has to stop.  We have governmental leaders making decisions about world politics who don’t know the first thing about Islam, or why the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church didn’t speak for 1000 years.  Check out the story from NPR.
