As said in the article "level of education was the best predictor of religious knowledge". In logical continuance, a good portion of the very faithful are not well educated compared to those who question.

That's what happens when you have a bunch of religious freaks, indoctrinated into their "faith" as children....and never asking where all this fairy tale garbage came from.
There is no American religion... where do you think this is? Iran?
Considering the screaming of the religious right that Obama is a closet Muslin, screaming that Atheists are evil because they don't go to church, and impacts into political thought in Intelligent Design/Abortion/Homeschooling/homosexual rights/etc...it is a political factor. Especially the crazy fundamentalists who wish for a US theocracy like Iran.
Lots of Americans can't name their own state capital. Or their congressional representative. I suppose you can conclude things from that, too.
This is a really good point. In general, I think that most people just find it easier to let someone else decide for them what is right and what isn't when it comes to both religion and politics, and end up blindly following. I'm certainly guilty of political laziness, though I'm at least honest about that point.
