1. Following on a previous post, which talked about how a majority of teens-of-Christian-origin today have inherited a religion called "moralistic therapeutic deism", here is another article that talks of how atheists and agnostics seem to know more about religion than many Christians, and about how many people know very little about their own religion. The 'Christians' who knew the most about 'Christianity' were (hold your breath!) the Mormons!
I think the study may have been poorly designed. For example, there may, in fact, be many 'good' Protestant Christians who do not know who Martin Luther was (to the shock of those who thought this was crucial, and included this question in the study). I, myself, do not think that is a 'most basic tenet'. However, it does make an important point.

2. An interesting semi-autobiographical article written by Lila Rose, a 22-year old who has courageously and heroically taken on the abortion industry with a number of undercover video exposes over the past 4 years.

I think she is a hero, and more proof that we should expect more from our young people, instead of dumbing them down. That is the basic premise behind The Rebelution
