That one was the saddest one to me, because it is children who are born into that culture. They haven't truly made that choice yet. I forgot about Jesus Camp.

I'm sure many people were/will be offended by Bill Maher. I don't think he minds. I have a filter for Maher, so I enjoy hearing what he has to say without agreeing with all of it. I think he is right that Christians are largely ignorant of religious history outside of the Bible. I think Biblicism is very high in the US, but biblical history/literacy is extremely low. Knowledge of religions outside of the Christian tradition is even more lacking. When the Bible is put in it's historic and literary context, glib theology doesn't stand up.
