Religion Test

Talk about good news/bad news. I was amazed, yet disturbed with the results of a recent Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life poll. Researchers found that Americans are deeply religious folks but are not quite sure what they are religious about.

The poll indicates that those who scored highest were atheists and agnostics when questioned about religion. On average, people who took the survey, more than 3,400 Americans, answered half the questions incorrectly and many erred when questioned about their own faith.

Fifty-three percent of Protestants, for example, could not identify Martin Luther as the man who started the Protestant Reformation.

But come to think of it, is such knowledge really all that important? The most important question is, what have you done with Jesus Christ? Do you believe He is the Son of God? Do you believe He died for your sins? Have you accepted Him as your Lord and Savior?

Lets get those questions nailed down first. Then, if we want to move on to Survey of World Religions, we can worry about that at that time.
